More than in any other country, science has been the secret to success for the United States, from practical inventions like the airplane or the personal computer, to breakthroughs like the nuclear bomb, to feats of engineering like the lunar landing. If we keep going at this rate, we’ll wake up one morning to find Europe or Asia accelerating past us, and it won’t just be in underground laboratories...
