The correct answer to this open question is the following.
I consider the United States space race of the 1950s-1969 against the Soviet Union as a failure?
Here is why.
In the times of the so-called Cold War, the Soviet Union had been the first to sent an artificial satellite into space, called "Sputnik." The date: October 4, 1957.
They had a clear advantage over the United States in the space race to the degree that this issue obsessed US President John F. Kennedy who ordered to invest millions of dollars to equal and pass the Soviet feat.
The federal government created a special agency, NASA, and spent millions of dollars trying to win the space race.
Under those conditions, it was not worth the cause.
Something totally different could have been if the US government had decided to invest and develop its space industry at its own pace. The problem here is that in thos Cold War days, the United States feared that this space advantage could represent a "war" advantage that had favored the Soviets.
The proclamation of 1763 came out of the Treaty of Paris after the Seven Years War, so the British could incorporate lands ceded by the French as a result of their loss. The stationery soldiers were to establish a boundary between the new lands and the lands of the Native American, and to protect the colonizers forms their attacks.
The colonizers were unhappy because they lost the chance to get lands for their own, and because they couldn't commerce freely with the Native. Britain could have left the colonizers to adventure in strange lands and be massacred by the Native Americans, but couldn't afford to lose power over this new lands, over the colonizers and the Native.
Ended up with the defeat of the Central Powers under the leadership of Germany, <span>also saw the collapse of four Empires-German, Austrian, Turkish and Russian.</span>
I think that the colonists split from England because their freedom was diminished, I believe that the colonists also wanted spiritual freedom and social freedom, also England was pretty crowded and loaded with disease. After the revolution, they did receive what they wanted.
