In a 1983 National Geographic, the ratio of U.S. operating spacecraft to Soviet operating spacecraft was something like 1.6:1. I would assume that this ratio has changed (presumably for the worse). Anyone know what the count is now? I wouldn't say it puts us on the primitive list, but if that's their standard, we're definitely second fiddle. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Matthew DeLuca : Georgia Institute of Technology : Remember, wherever you go, there you are.
