    China's initial entrance into the space race was driven by the nuclear escalation of the Cold War. So, of course, it began with building ICBMs.

    I like to think we'll all look back on this in another generation or two and cringe, but I'm dubious that my grandkids won't be glowing in the dark given how global geopolitics continues to shake out.

      I see. So what came first this phrase or the phrase referring to the disgusting internet video? Did 2 girls 1 cup come second and reference it or was it completely coincidental naming of the video?

        "Two Bombs, One Satellite" is from the 1960s and little known in the west

        the porn video name was probably coincidental
