Look, this is just cope. Once both nations had icbms, the space race was a propaganda and national prestige thing. The fact that most people say amerikkka won the space race means they did.
Don’t forget first human death in space.
It’s kind of amazing only three people have died in actual outer space. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_spaceflight-related_accidents_and_incidents
I’ll point out, more people died in the US space program than the Soviet one.
As opposed to Apollo 1 where they killed 3 right here on earth
They had information that would lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton.
The US still hasn’t landed on Venus and probably never will
Not much to gain by going there. Wildly corrosive, too hot, too hard to terraform with present tech.
That’s a bit COPIUM tbh
Why?
Why even is getting a man on the moon important?
And if it was important why did we stop?
The value of manned missions was propaganda which is why the Apolo mission was cancelled when it stopped getting TV ratings. Because getting humans on the moon didn’t actually deliver anything of much importance except those TV ratings.
“First game of golf on the moon” good job USA you did it meanwhile the USSR landed on Venus.
I wouldn’t say putting a man on the moon isn’t important. It’s certainly very cool. But is it as important as satellites? Fuck no!
