The U.S. Faces Another Sputnik Moment
Posted by scapozzola on 01/25/2011
In a recent Huffington Post op-ed, AAM Executive Director Scott Paul observed that the U.S. faces another "Sputnik moment":
The president needs to state clearly in his State of the Union address that we face another "Sputnik moment" with implications that may be far more consequential than the launch of that satellite in 1957. He needs to change the debate. In the current political environment, we really have no answer to the rise of China, when, in fact, it should be an issue that unites Americans to a common purpose.
