The point is that national chauvinism in the US touts the moon landing as the ultimate victory, and that glosses over the accomplishments of the USSR, keeping people here ignorant of the potential of alternative political-economic systems, allowing propaganda to get away with lies like "communism means no innovation"
But you're obviously not ignorant of that, you posted "COPIUM" just to be an ass
it's not so clear cut as that
USA/USSR(later RF)/PRC have all collaborated on space science, both during and after the 1945-1991 cold war.
Well then even better! Humanity achived all of that by mutual colaboration!! How great!!
Science has no political views still in the cold war! Cool.
