Tyler Fisher
why is the moon the finish line?
Liam Bell
Because that's the point where the soviet union officially gave up on the race, abandoned their plans to launch people to the moon and put their ships at a scrapyard.
Gavin Walker
It's the most difficult of the plausible options
Noah Johnson
Russians may have made most (if not all) of the advancements we still use today, but it was never about that. It was about reaching the final frontier, and the Americans reached farthest into the frontier and planted their flag on the moon.
(Also JFK, in 1961, explicitly made the space race about the moon).
Jaxon Wood
The US won the space race because the Russian economy collapsed keeping up with our spending.
Kevin Rogers
First woman is space is not an achievement.
The US was first to successfully dock in space.

Caleb Campbell
>this fucking daily thread
BTW why nobody ever accounts Korolev's death to this? He alone basically was soviet space program.
After reading shitton of memoires I got an idea that maybe he decided to go down as a star instead of a failure as soon as he realised that he can't anymore fight the government in questions of space program and whatever he was left with (the N1) couldn't reach the goalpost endlessly moved by USians.
After his death it all went to wasting money, imitating work and dick contests between other big designers.
What do you guys who actually digged some info on that think?
Liam Hall
Christopher Hill
Typical haters, you should be on your knees thanking NASA for 99% of what is known about our universe
