#1 This is good. They need somebody up at the space station to clean the toilets.

#2 You really should read up on Mexico a bit before you make these kinds of statements. Mexico does have its own nuclear reactor for instance, and decent technical talent. For the most part the mexicans are industrious hard-working people. Even the poor are basically honest. We have a problem because of the failures of our own government, we, in effect, write a blank check for anyone who wants to come across an open border.

I laugh at how many people think mexico is desert and burros. My wife used to think that way until I took her down there.

Now think about how NASA spends fortunes to do things that can be done cheaper. Mexicans are used to doing things on the cheap and are suprisingly good at innovating. It would not surprise me if in a few years, assuming decent funding levels, they actually could put a satellite into space.

If you think I am blowing hot air here I advise you to read this article.

#3 I've been to Mexico a couple of times. Can't say I was all that impressed.
