I wonder which the first country to launch a satellite, put a person in space, put a woman in space, put an animal in space, put a person in orbit, perform the first space walk, hard-land on the moon, soft-land on the moon, image the far side of the moon, return samples from the moon, soft-land on another planet, and establish a space station was, all with fewer astronaut deaths than Amerika?
Less racism too, I read an anecdote recently that said the U.S. moon landing heroes racistly bullied the only black astronaut candidate in the program, to the point where he quit.
Armstrong, etc. were silver spoon types who grew up with all the privilege in the world, descended from white settlers, attended top universities and so on, unlike Gagarin and Tereschkova, who had humble upbringings---true proletarian heroes.

I remember reading this too, I'll have a look for more info on it when I'm free :)
I am convinced that Robert Henry Lawrence was murdered for being the first black candidate in the us program
