Ever heard the saying "Actions speak louder than words"?

Perhaps all those countries (and likely more) *contributed* to the 
US space programs, but it was the *US* that had the programs.  It 
was the US who actually *DID* put men on the moon.

And we'll be the ones who do it again, sooner than you think.
