    i seem to recall hearing about plans to turn the moon into a refueling station, something about helium 3 being abundant there or something. honestly, i think that's one of 3 major things that need to happen to make the space race more economically feasible, strip mining the moon, or some form of cheap way to lift goods into orbit (space elevator, space cannon, or some form of super efficient engine) and a form of FTL travel/nearFTL travel (such as warp or wormholes)

The US first on the other hand have never been replicated by any other country. The US is still the only country to send vessels past Mars. The only reason the Soviets even have first is because they just threw shit up there with no meaning. Sputnik was literally just a beeping radio.

    Ivan Kretov Ivan Kretov first woman in space isn't a technological achievement. it's exactly like putting a man in space. USA - for a time held the longest duration spaceflight, first rendezvous, first docking, first high-orbit craft, advanced EVA maneuvering, first to actually have a man land in his/her spacecraft, first man-rated lunar lander, most powerful working rocket (by a longshot), and demonstrated the technological feat and ability to send men to the moon.

    Imo, the US will still reach the moon first. USA put reaching the moon first as a priority. They had been developing the technology to do exactly that. I mean at this point the US congress saw the moon landing as a political agenda than just a space mission. The support that USSR had back in the day no longer exist. They now deemed it as an expensive political boost.

    Why are people arguing about whether USA or USSR won the race? The end goal was the moon, thus USA won. Let me explain this very simply: Athlete 1: first to 5 m first to 10 m first to 15 m first to 20 m first to 25 m first to 30 m first to 35 m Athlete 2: first to 40 m, which is the goal *Athlete 1s achievements are all surprising *Athlete 2 still won the race It's as simple as this.

    I disagree with you very strongly. The moon was USA's goal, not the U.S.S.R.'s. Just because the U.S. had a goal and they achieved it, doesn't mean that the U.S.S.R. lost because they didn't have the same goal. Both countries wanted to be the first in space, therefore it is only correct to call the winner the first to achieve the goal of being in space. And that was the U.S.S.R. Thus, the U.S.S.R. won. Let me explain this very simply. Athlete 1: **wants to be first to 100 meters** first to 100 meters, which is their goal Athlete 2: **wants to be first to 200 meters** second to 100 meters keeps running first to 200 meters And even so, lots of people, including many Americans, think the moon landing was fake.

But because the US got to the moon we seem to forget about all the achievements by the USSR.

    nope. There was never an ultimate goal from the start. If we go by your logic then why don't we say the race isnt over till the first people land on mars ? or Pluto ? Or go to Alpha Centauri ? The Space race was a race to get to space and do space things. The Soviets did all but one, the Soviets won.

    But look at it like an actual 100m race. The First Satellite is the 10m line, the first animal is the 25, the first person is the 50, the first orbit is the 75, and the Moon is the finish line. Just because the USSR was winning at 50m doesn't mean they would win the race.

    Then they won by number of achievements, no from first achievement. Also, what definition of space are you talking about? MW 18014 passed the Kármán Line, which is the boundary between Earth and space, according to FAI.

    I love the conspiracy theory that Apollo didn’t stop at 17 “I think that’s what it was” and several more missions were launched, also, that the Soviets at the same amount of time made it to the moon, and during one of the unknown Apollo missions, they came across a broken down, destroyed lunar lander, along with two Cosmonauts , with their face shields busted. The crew of that mission report it back to mission control of what they have found and machine control told them or asked them. Have you set up the equipment yet they replied yes but we’re worried about the visitors that we can see if they’re going to mess with it when we leave. Another mission following that one was, they saw shadows outside their lunar lander, shortly after they were getting ready to disembark for their moonwalk !
