we like to make fun of the american space program because they were behind in a bunch of milestones, but damn, landing on the moon is pretty fuckin good IMO.
like I don't really think of it as an american victory over the Soviets, but as a general human accomplishment, landing on the moon is pretty much one of the best we got.
Soviet accomplishments in space stations are probably as important or more important but damn, humans landed on the fuckin moon. holy shit!
Don't forget the time a bunch of rice farmers won a war against the best armed military in the world
Vietnam: has the US attack and invade it, Vietnam wins, then years later a bunch of veterans move to Vietnam because they can't afford the US
USA: "communism has failed"
