No, not all. Just the vast majority, it seems.

Also, I read Deception Point recently. Space exploration is a big deal for you guys.

I doubt it's the majority.

It's media hype.

See just 'cause the media makes a big deal out of it and there are some spectators watching it, it doesn't mean the majority of American's are into to it.

It's barely a conversation piece "around town" and "at the office".

[manker]

I reckon it's the majority.

I'd do a poll here but the Europeans would feck it up

If the poll, that only Americans could reply to, read; Would you care if China (or Russia) suddenly became the dominant country in space exploration?

I'd care a lot.
I'd care.
I'd care a little.
I could care less.
I wouldn't care at all.

I reckon that the mean colour would be orangy red

I think its quite interesting it went ahead considering they didn't fix the problem which caused the first launch to be cancelled.

I don't feel it's an American thing but a personal thing. I find all space exploration fasinating and I would like to be alive if man ever makes it Mars.
When I was young I lived in Utah where they do all the maufactoring of the boosters and where the O rings where made and I went to most the test firings it was something I will always remeber.

Here is a link to the coverage from NASA

Then you misunderstand. It's a personal thing whether you find space exploration interesting, I certainly do. However, I don't care who does it, so long as someone does.

I believe the mjaority of Americans would feel slightly miffed if they weren't global leaders in this sphere.

I had a good view from my front yard
also, they had a camera installed on the shuttles external tank, and there was a nice view of External tank separation

I never really looked at it this way I guess I'll never be a mjaority
