I would've thought USSR would've done it by the 70s if not before Amerika, but it's been 60 years since and no one has done it so far. In fact, it's likely it'll be Amerikans who're back on the moon again before anyone else. WTF is going on here?

Short answer: the corporate/millionaire tax rate was much higher
and everything was less privatized and deregulated. The remnants of FDR's reforms and war economy meant you could marshall the productive forces of the US economy in a sort of Keynesian way that is impossible these days.
