Without in anyway diminishing the fact that the Russians did it first, I think our success shows that this nation is not lagging behind the Reds even in the field of ballistic missiles where they have concentrated most of their emphasis to the detriment of other scientific accomplishments. . What Next While this nation has many firsts to its credit, it is well to note that often many major inventions have taken place elsewhere. To name two, the railroad and the automobile were firsts for England and France, respectively. But only under the stimulus of free enterprise competition in this nation have these two modes of transportation progressed to the position of importance and efficiency that they now occupy.
