The World According to Andy Newman

Andy Newman at Socialist Unity should get a gig at the Onion for writing unintentionally hilarious bits like this about the space race:

“The early Soviet lead in this area of technology is also an interesting illustration of where the centrally planned economies worked really well. On big prestige projects where political will and imagination inspired people, then there was enormous dedication, innovation and excitement, and extraordinary progress could be made very quickly.”

Oh, to live in Andy’s world!
