in 1961, i think, the soviet union sent up the first man in space. that was actually considered more sensational than sputnik, which ed reminded me before the broadcast weighed 20 pounds and was the size of a volleyball. but when they sent a human being, this very brave soviet astronaut, and he remains a hero in russia today, that really brought it home that they put a man in space. there's one other thing i would say, what television has done in the united states and probably in other countries is confuse celebrity with political leadership. when you become famous and celebrate it for something, in politics, it's confused with leadership. >> we're out of time. maria, i want to thank you. >> thank you, soledad. >> thank you. nice to see you. let us know what you think at ac360.com.
