That they made it in east germany and made up an excuse for being bad at sales?

corning the guys they bring up at the very end is also the company that did pyrex. they spun that business off in the 90s. They don't mention that because you'd recognize it and go "wait my cabinet's been full of that my whole life"

The cool part about that idea, even if 99% of the robots break down, that's spare parts for a manned mission.

they don't have a reason though it functions as protectionism for their native IT industry. They have there own set of large tech companies in googles place. They have their own version of all these apps/webservices ect.
