What was the point?
Was it just a dick-measuring contest between the Soviets and The United States?

Yes. Also Soviets did everything else of merit first.
Yes, except the world will follow the one with the biggest dick.

Vietnam war distraction
For science. Human advancement. Big picture.
The surface of the moon is littered with the scrapped wreckage of machines from a war that occurred between pre-history human civilizations that existed 75,000 years ago.
That shit is more valuable than a mountain of gold.

>Was it just a dick-measuring contest between the Soviets and The United States?
Yes.
When white people decide to compete with each other, we build marvels like the space shuttle, the saturn rockets, and the atomic bomb.
>>78877522
The point was to advance the same, or better than, the Soviet Union. The feat advanced rocket technology and understanding of human life beyond earth.
If you could deliver a man to the moon, you can deliver practically anything, like nuclear devices or an army.

proof? serious question did the U.S. ever reach the moon?
Both countries got to improve their ICBM tech under the guise of friendly competition.
>>78878181
Yes there was a documentary about it. It's called "Transformers: Dark of the Moon"
Feels so good to have the biggest dick. Soviet bitches have been trying to marry their way into the states since then.
>>78878181
No, there is literally no proof we have reached the moon. The mythbusters did an episode where they shot a signal to the moon and it got reflected, that was immediately discredited as just regular moon rocks with iron ore.
>>78877522
To make Soviets waste money on a (relatively) pointless venture with their already failing economy. It was to speed up the collapse.

Thus proving that the whole thing was futile

You know, satellites, spacerafts, human flights, EVAs, space stations, robot-rovers, ... things like these...
>>78877522
More. Two white countries developing unbelievable technology at,a pace unheard of. The great Wernher von Braun assimilated to America from,Natzee Germany, and designed the most powerful rocket ever create, put men on the moon!
You know. Regular white shit we do.

>failed state beat you at all but one milestone
Also enjoying all those Muslims extremists that that failed state was sitting on?
>>78880383
>actually bringing up Muslims as an argument
You realize that Russia's population is like 7% Muslim, right?

Get politicians elected

civil space program was just a cover for nuclear bombs delivery mecanisms

>Was it just a dick-measuring contest between the Soviets and The United States?
100%
Just a reminder that the US has been putting animals in space since the 40s.
