A lot of companies don't because if you can open up your markets and sell 20% more product, even if only for a few years before they copy it...doesn't matter. The incentive structures are setup so that those in control only consider the short-term benefit.
Ha ha . They may have sent a man to the moon, but if they did he did not come back! Russia did crash a vehicle onto the moon surface before the Americans successfully landed and returned alive! Getting there is the easy part. Returning alive is the hard part. The Russian crash landing is in fact how we learned that the surface would support a landing craft!
Well I was told that they were the first country that sent a man to space, not to the moon. And he did come back alive, a hero and an inspiration to all. It's just sad a country that has always been on our side and has collaborated with us in the West on so many things are now on the opposite side of us, the same as Iraq, Libya and etc....
Yeah, it was Yuri Gagarin. The first "cosmonaut", which we call astronauts. As for Russia flipping to the other side? Well, let's see... Russia + USA - WWI enemy. Russia + USA - WWII ally. Russia + USA - Post WWII enemy. Russia + USA - Post Berlin Wall ally. Russia + USA - Ukraine invasion enemy. It is such a shame, because they have such a resonating and beautiful national anthem.
That's correct so far as I know, however I was responding to this : "I just find it bewildering that Russia, the first country that sent a person to the moon..." This might be correct if there was a man in the package they crash landed on the moon, prior to the U.S. Apollo mission. But if there was, he did not return.
Check out your home, there are plenty that are "made in China", your computer, your mouse, you modern, you router,did they cause your trading failure? So why you use them instead of using only "made in USA"? I don't believe anyone here who blame China products who doesn't use China products.
Chinese are as big cheaters as Russians. That's why they help each other. The countries use the same tactics to control the whole population. Two countries run by a few people who take all the money. And who don't care about human lifes.
