The [serious] people on this forum purport to be British. This means that they will hardly take more pride in 'European' achievements than American ones, since the Yanks are at least part of the family, albeit estranged members, whereas the Europeans are decadent, tyrannical rivals.

Erm, would you care to look at an atlas?

You'll find that the Ukraine, Baltic republics, Byelorus, Moscow and Leningrad/St Petersburg are all within Europe.

Baikonur launch pad is in Kazakhstan, not part of Europe, but Moscow certainly is.
