    I care less about the propaganda and more about reality. The reality is that the USSR got to space first. That's all. I don't see how correcting a misconception is cope.

      Samsies. Apollo was the USA's only real "win". Dude's walking around on the moon is cool, it really is, but then sometimes i also look at the images from Venus, taken in 100 atmos of pressure, at 500 degrees, in a seething atmosphere of 300 km/h acid winds.

      Idk if it's true, but i believe the soviets went to space to see what was up there, and the americans went to space because they saw sputnik overhead and felt terror in their hearts.

        As Amber said, the USSR kept us honest. We went to space because we faced an actual nation building project with aspirations and dreams
