The space race is such a deep topic. The preparation, the research and development prior to the Moon landing and even before WW2 is fascinating

I would argue that the US won it as I see it more as a marathon. If you look at history, while it wasn't first the US was in an extremely close second as they were usually a few months behind the Russian on space achievements and over time the US tech got better and better and as Kraut said, when their head engineer died the Russian/Soviet program stagnated as the US one continued to go forward and land on the moon, create reusable shuttles, and grow and massive private space industry today

As a long time player of Civ III, yes the spacerace uses up the entire empire's attention.

Who “won” the Space Race depends on where you draw the finish line and how you define a win. I’d be more inclined to to say nobody won or lost the space race because we all benefited from it immensely in terms of new technologies, new discoveries, and so on. I visited the Museum of Cosmonautics in Moscow a bit over a decade ago and there’s no denying the impact the Soviets had in space exploration. At least to me, the Space Race was never really about winning and losing so much as two superpowers pushing each other to greater and greater achievements.

id say a tie but id say from what i know from both sides it looks like the soviet union has the upper hand in a lot of firsts but the America has the bigger achievements like going to the moon landing and getting back to earth etc etc but both are important for today and the future when we reland on the moon and on mars

Everyone know that you can only win a scientific victory if you make it to Alpha Centauri.

The one that crashed was Indian. It was chandrayaan II. It was a sad day for ISRO. But ISRO learned from it and made it happen with version III. They livestreamed the landing of chandrayann III and just before the phase where the last version crasehed; They inserted a presentation of why the last one failed and why the current one will succeed. It is awesome to watch.

where can i find it?

The ESA primarily launches from the French Guiana Kourou launch site as far as I know. Being close to the equator and launch eastward gives a boost in velocity. Although, depending on your target in terms of what kind of orbit you want (or some other non-orbit objective) you can change what direction you launch in. At the end of the day, its a big engineering problem where you're balancing what your requirements are with how light you can make your launch vehicle.

Also, if you want to launch into a sun-synchronous orbit (essentially a complex version of a polar orbit where you go north/south over the poles of Earth), it's actually advantageous to launch away from the equator because you want to be traveling north (or south), not east. Having that momentum from an equatorial launch site is counter-productive, so launching from a place like New Zealand or Alaska or Plesetsk in northern Russia is a good idea.

So happy to find this channel and see it grow!

Kraut is such an interesting and entertaining channel. I'm glad Mr Terry reacted to this one.

Better way to introduce this meme to the channel. Before countryballs, there was Polandball

4:15 it's an old meme called the Navy Seals Copypasta, people love to quote it because it's the epitome of being an "internet tough guy"

You should do a video on micronations such as Sealand, I think it would be a fun topic to cover.

15:16 The Russians sent a lander (the first since the collapse of the Soviets which would have TECHNICALLY made them the fourth to land) that crashed days before. I watched a video on it recently; the Indian probe also discovered a new crater which is assumed to be the crash site.

The US won the space race, not because of a specific milestone, but because we declared victory and got away with it. As you may recall from ancient Egypt - as long as nobody questions it before you carve it in stone, it counts.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the ESA launches primarily in French Guyana, but it has been known to use Cape Canaveral or even the Baikonur Cosmodrome when relations were better.

ESA launches its Ariane and Vega rockets from the European Space Port in French Guyana, as far as I know they’ve never launched out of Cape Canaveral AFB. Technically speaking they don’t launch from Russian space ports either, they just hitchhike on Russian crew flights as their own manned capsule Programm for the Ariane 6 is still in development.

Lula, the current brazilian president, seems more in favor of such small communities and minorities than his predecessor. So i think there is a good possibility of negotiations with locals occuring if Brazil wishes to expand its space program. Fun fact: Greece, my homeland, attempted to set up its own space agency... at 2017, aka the midst of the economic crisis... it was dissolved at the end, but the memes that came out of it are just excellent

At 4:13 it occurred to me that the text right there was an old copy pasta my friend used on a videogame once

Hi Mr. Terry! I was wondering if you could make a video about the Korean War if you haven't already, since my mom's side is from Korea. Thanks! :)

9:01 "NASA does not work in a vacuum anymore" They quite literally do. Thats the entire point of the organization

Race by definition is about who will get to the end first, not about milestones.

The importance of India being on the south side of the moon is important if territorial disputes arrise

Israel was the one whose probe crashed, but I think Russia and China had some probes crash too.

I think this video undersells China a bit. It makes excellent points about the organization and challenges of China's program, but it also leaves out its successes. China launches about as many rockets per year as the United States. In fact, in 2021, it had quite a bit more orbital launches than the United States. I'm not convinced China will lead the world in rocket launches in 50 years, but I also don't think it's in quite as bad as spot as the video makes it out to be.

Im going to college for aerospace engineering and I'd love to see poland enter the race for space.

5:34 that’s a Chinese nerd, not a Taiwanese nerd. It’s written in simplified characters.

6:40 de difference between Bezos's vision for space colonization and Musk's is that Bezos sees the colonization of planets as fruitless and would have future humans live in large self sufficient space stations instead. 14:53 landing near the poles is trickier because you have to change orbits. The essayist way to get from the Earth to the Moon take one on an equatorial orbit around the moon. To land near the poles requires more maneuvers which complicates things... there were three recent ones that crashed. One was indeed from Israel, the other two were from Russia and a Japanese-Belgian cooperation if I'm not mistaking. China succeeded a few years back

If all milestones achieved during the space race would be equivalent to 1 point and equally valued, the Soviet Union by far. However, the Moon landing was the greatest achievement. So it depends on how much you value each milestone.

NASA has never worked alone they have always contracted companies to build their rockets facilities etc.

26:30 They gonna do it anyways, brazilian laws allows property takeover by the government in some cases,like if let your property looks like a abandoned land. They just need a excuse to include the base expansion. More likely in the end they gonna give new homes to the people and expand the base,but not like they did in the 80's, when the goverment just give houses without sewage system. Probaly they gonna give proper houses and respect community relationships.

If you want to give the Space Race a point system, with every milestone being a point, the USSR definitely won. If you view it as a *race*, though, where it doesn't matter who wins lap 1, 2, etc., only who wins the last lap, the USA won with the Moon Landing. On the other hand, space exploration is far from done and you could therefore argue the Space Race is still going on, with the USA having overtaken Russia and China (and others) having entered the race.

Russia won more milestones total but the U.S. won more impressive milestones. Hard to say who won.

The reason landing on the south pole of the Moon is considered harder than landing near the equator of the Moon, is because radio communications on the Moon require line of sight with Earth. On Earth, radio waves bounce around in the atmosphere, making it so we don't need line of sight. Depending on the location on the Moon, scientists can communicate with a spacecraft on the Moon for between 0-28.5 days. Then can communicate again after waiting roughly the same amont of time. The exact timing is essentially just dependent on the moon's geography, as far as I know. The challenges of radio communication on the Moon could be solved with communication satellites orbiting the Moon.

Good point!

In terms of the space race, the Soviet Union won the sprint but the US won the marathon.

I would not say that the USSR won the space race. They did achieve great success early on, but their competition with America in military and space was a costly affair. Something, they were not able to sustain in the long term, being one of the contributing factors of their collapse.

"Can Poland into space" What does that mean? Can Poland what into space?

Well, the semiconductor part of spaceflight is overvalued a lot. Most of necessary calculations are performed on Earth via off-shelf consumer computers. The rocket itself can utilise... A chip from advanced microwave or washing machine. The Preseveranse rover utilises a cpu from 2001, for example, it does not need anything more advanced - but robust. Main problems are not semiconductors nor propulsion, but material science, power generation and life support systems. Yes, I work in space industry. In Russia. Joint Cino-Russian venture, to be exact. The main concerns are not lack of semiconductors - we can made robust electronics, but it's heavy, so we compensate it via increasing rockets' size, but lack of governmental interest in private space and an overwhelming corruption problem. Roscosmos and main OKBs are PLAGUED with insane corruption and ineffective low-paid workforse. But we're trying to hold under sanctions. Vostochniy spaceport is finally fully operational, as Angara A5 is. The last step is moving to Orlan spaceship to strap on A5 and get rid of Soyuz for good.

I think it has to do with the fact his businesses had the capacity to even consider space travel and explanation, compared to the Societ Union at their peak in terms of such sector. Like Mr Terry said, its an intriguing perspective on how one actor that relies on its public sector (Soviet Union) and how far the private sector (in this example, Elon Musk) have come to dveelop such capacities and capabilities to launch projecfs in space travel and exploration.

very long story short but a guy used the star wars program to bait out a kgb hacker.

1:45 "seal of cringe" :))) didn't notice that when I first watched kraut's video 3:38 it still baffles me that people didn't end up calling that "the Ronald Ray Gun" much more fitting name than "Star Wars" imo

There is no dark/light side of the Moon only near/fair side of the Moon. The Moon is tightly-locked with the Earth, so only one side of the Moon faces the Earth.

Brazil is not one to back down from this kind of opportunity simply because of some ex-slave farmers out in the jungle. I think Kraut’s claim that they’d have to reconcile with that past sin to move forward is more just wishful thinking on his part. Those farmers have no means of leveraging their land against the Brazilian government, nor is there any international pressure on Brazil to do so, since as Kraut said, it is a well-hidden event, and more then likely will be swept under the rug and quickly forgotten as the world focuses on more important issues.

Not ALL the early milestones were achieved by the USSR (which is NOT synonymous with ruSSkistan, especially considering the predominance of Ukrainian scientists in the USSR), after all, the first man-made object to pass the Kármán line (and pass it by a long distance, no less) and thus go to space was a German A4 (/"V2") in 44.

who won the space race? At first I thought the US, everyone knows that, they got to the moon first. But ya the first satellite, first animal, first man to die in space, all to USSR. Did the space race even end with a win? NASA still tries things and makes progress towards Mars. India just beat Russia with a sample of the moon's poles. I'd like a full graph of projects of each country and when their first successful mission was, who has the best pictures of Pluto or outer system probes. EU certainly shows it's best to cooperate on a larger scale or link up with NASA's funding and systems than go completely alone but if we want bragging rights then each country will track certain things or repeat missions by others. Would like a list of best places for space centers, most convenient location to the Equator, easily or already developed and in case of an accident how stable are the politics of the region or an open ocean. Which African countries are likely to launch satellites if they get the means or coorperation with other organizations to be a launching point. Fun topic just by asking why Poland might not have a space agency when they'll be working mostly with the rest of Europe or launching from Italy or anywhere far more south.

It's a fart in the wind i know to request videos for a reaction channel to watch but there's been a release by whatifalthist that is just talking about the top 20 atrocities in the history of the world. Relatively light on political prostlyization and it jumps around to a lot of obscure episodes in history.

US won space race. Yes USSR achieved a number of early milestones first, but US put a man on the moon first, and the race was to put a man on the moon. Doesn't matter whose leading a race for the majority of the time, what matters is who is leading when they cross the finish line. That's not to say the USSR shouldn't be proud of their first achievements, but in terms of who won, it was the US.

There actually is, much of the groundwork of modern biology, chemistry, physics and medicine has been pioneered in space. Not to mention that space travel has been invaluable in understanding and mapping the process of climate change. Much of the knowledge we have today about our atmosphere, radiation, energy and weather we exclusively have because of space travel.

Russia won more milestones total but the U.S. won more impressive milestones. Hard to say who won.

Who won space race all boil down to what you drew the finishline (if any) or definition of winning. (Like... what is the definition of 'milestone' in the space race anyway? First satellite... what kind of satellite? What kind of capsule? Space applicaiton? Etc.) If it is about send men to the moon first or have overall better tech that trickle down into civilian then US 'won'. But if you used other metric Soviet can 'won'. Overall I still get it to US if you really wamt to find the 'winner' with Soviet has strong lead early on but fail down after. But it is benefit to all anyway so... it depends on who you asked.

4:27 the USA did because not only did we reach the moon first but we sent the first thing to space ON ACCIDENT 😂 When the USA was testing nukes they put one in the ground and covered the hole with a manhole cover and when the bomb blew the manhole cover got launched and the fastest camera at the time captured it for only one frame I don’t remember the exact measurements but the big brain math people estimated that it DID reach escape velocity. And since basically everything back then was just built stronger than now it would make sense it survived. IN FACT some people estimate that it could have achieved a speed to leave earths orbit and possibly escape the solar system in the future.
