uhm, I wouldn't call it a national project, but it is recognised as a

Thanks for the correction. Still, it's better then what the entire
United States of America has developed to date. Was a time when
Americans looked at what Germany did and said "We can do it better."


I can't think of many instances where that's happened. In the motor
industry, for instance, what German car is the basis for something
America did better? Mind you, Germans aren't too good at copying things
and making a sucess of them either. I get to see German MTV, for
instance. holy ****.
