Thinking Out Loud

A thought, without taking either side. We did invite the Russians to the table to a cooperative effort in space. This opened up communication and we joined in a common cause in the human endeavor for space exploration. One could argue that was a wise choice in hindsight, some may not think so. Nevertheless, could it be possible that using such a common cause of space exploration could get both sides, or the animosity between groups to look past differences and perhaps work together.

Like I said, I am not taking sides, wouldn't have voted for Obama in a million years, just thought I'd throw out that observation as a devil's advocate. Would I have attempted such a good will effort? Probably not with NASA but it is interesting yes?
