Got 12 out of 12......well, 12 out of 13. Didn't get the bonus question.......It was a trick question.

I admit...I only got 11 out of 12. I thought, technically, that John Glen was the first to actually enter what could be considered "space". Maybe I over thought it.

Perfect score! Woo Hoo!

Perfect score! Woo Hoo!

The bonus question was the only one I got right.

I got it wrong. There was a time that I would have gotten it right. But that time has come and gone.......

Maybe sometime I will get it right again.

Alan Shepherd was the first American to go up into space (1961), a sub-orbital flight and back down.  Lasted approximately 15 minutes.

John Glenn was the first American to orbit around the earth (1962).

Yuri Gagarin, a Russian Cosmonaut was the first human into space.

Yes sir, even though there have been other powerful countries over the course of human civilization that remained in power for over 1000 years and ruled over larger areas I took a wild guess based upon the "Patriot" theme of the test and got it correct.

Aw, but the question was not which country was the most "powerful" country....

It was "America is the greatest country in the history of the world."

"Greatest" and "powerful" are not one in the same.

However, I do see where my error is. After reading it again, I would have to say that it is the greatest in history......I do not agree that it is currently the greatest, though.

It really depends on what defines "greatest".

I reckon I stand corrected on terminology.  I didn't go back to look at the question again and was actually unsure if it was "most powerful" or "greatest" and went with the former.

So, my comment should have read, "Yes sir, even though there have been other great countries over the course of human civilization that remained great for over 1000 years and ruled over larger areas I took a wild guess based upon the "Patriot" theme of the test and got it correct."

And I agree it all depends on how "greatest" is defined.

truth be told, we're closer the "least" in some things.

I was thinking Glenn might have had a high altitude flight that would have qualified when he was a test pilot. Oh well...I did better than I thought I could.

The bonus question is stupid because America isn't even a country. I figured you teabaggers would know that.

Obama thinks it is. He always says "God bless America" so we know when he's done flapping his lips.

He's asking God to bless all of America, not just the USA.

That's because he's going to annex all of North, Central and South America by executive order. He's already removed all security from the border and is secretly building high speed rail lines with an all you can eat crab leg buffet and open bar to bring our new citizens in.

Geez, didn't you read the email your grandma forwarded to you?

You mean all 57 states, not just the 50 that are United?  By the way just when will those other 7 join the Union?  

If progressive liberals get any smarter, they will actually pass rocks on the IQ rankings.

Really? Then what he stated in his immigration speech makes no sense: "Tomorrow, I’ll travel to Las Vegas and meet with some of these students, including a young woman named Astrid Silva. Astrid was brought to America when she was four years old,". Astrid Silva came from Mexico, so again by his own words, Obama believes that the USA is also America. Hell, Mexico doesn't even use the word America in it's official name of United Mexican States. In fact I believe that no other country in the Americas uses America in it's official title or even colloquially except the United States of America.

Do you think the Midwest is the greatest state in the history of the USA? Teabaggers do.

Why have you failed to comment on your communist King's comments? Instead you re-direct the discussion. Obama thinks there are 57 states and the United States is America...what do you think about someone who is so misinformed? Do you think he should have been elected President given his lack of knowledge?

Try to answer without injecting the term" teabagger" as it is disrespectful to men who have butt sex with other men which we are supposed to openly celebrate.

Concentrate now....

I bet the teabaggers think the Middle East is a country too.
