LBJ, who failed in Vietnam, succeeded in building NASA in 1958, holding hearings in December, 1957 on Sputnik. Why did he succeed in space and civil rights, and fail so badly in Vietnam?The US military - army and navy - by default tried to put a satellite up in late 1957, but failed on the launchpad, eliciting a hail of derision from Life Magazine, which called the failures Kaputnik, Stayputnik, and Flopnik.Meanwhile the Soviets launched Sputnik II and III - II contained a dog, Laika, who died in orbit, since the Soviets lacked a re entry program. Von Braun put Explorer I in orbit in January, 1958, as a fierce debate broke out in Congress, and the country, over federal role in education, and the nature thereof.John Dewey reforms, and the NEA, had predominated education, promoting "life adjustment" over "the three R's": reading, writing, and arithmetic. Conservatives opposed this. This debate went back to the wave of immigration from 1890 - 1920, and the centered on the concept of the "melting pot".Today "identity politics" dominate the Democrat Party, and they hate the "melting pot". At the time, Von Braun, who came out of strict German classical education, opposed Dewey and "life adjustment" education. Conservatives won the battle here, but lost the war, a recurring theme for them.The battle won, NASA took effect in October, 1958, and rest is history. The American satellites were superior to Russian designs, but the Russians put the first man in space, but NASA and the American industry surged ahead under JFK in the 1960's, until the 68ers destroyed American culture, and sent America on a decline that continues to this day.I was right in the middle of this fight, and know it first hand: the person who led the battle against the liberal destruction of Nasa and American development was Lyndon LaRouche, and you can read his website to understand it.Just do an internet search on Tavistock and Nasa to get the details.
