Quote: "If Im coreect the first semi upright walking thing in space was a Chimp....... Humans were second......."
Well if chimps had developed the technology and BUILT the rocket...then this would be a valid point....and of grave concern for us humans....but they didn't......
I digress..
Fact is that the underlying question here, the proverbial rhinocerous on the coffee table....is the question of the relationship between aptitudes, technologies and cultural pathologies...in other words, are there features of one particular group that leads them to have particular prowess in a field of endeavour.....or are we all exactly the same with exactly the same potential.
Is there certain cultural pathologies whose traits are anathema to technology.....for instance, is a strong culture of 'saving face' anathema to good crm which is critical to flight safety and therefore, should that cultural group refrain from crew concept flying?
Hard questions and being militantly politically correct will not lead to any constructive discussions....only mud-slinging.
