Mind blowing.
Didn't have that strong a desire to escape from our country.
>>51679806
Didn't kidnap enough nazi and other foreign scientists to build a rocket and slap a place holder flag sticker on it to impress the lower common denominator of the citizens who cling to any achievement made by greater man than they will ever be but somehow take claim for it themselves and the country they happen to reside in.

In the tech victory in civ V ot doesn't matter if you got gun powder or computers before your opponent. As long as your opponent gets his ship ready before you, he wins. Same with the space race m8. We may have lagged behind at the start but we pulled ahead.

It could be fun. Will push science hard cause we really need some blasters to protect ourselves from space spiders.

What was the goal of the space race? If you're to argue that we lost, you need to cite a specific finish line we failed to cross.
>>51681871
And your moon rockets all exploded. ;)
No need, we've already won by that point.
Russia, you did everything else so well. What the fuck happened?

If it was so fucked then they shouldn't have attempted 4 launches.

We were too busy being a bunch of weed smoking hippies at the time I think.

>Soviet technology was not able to produce rocket engines comparable with the Saturn F-1/J-2
Important point: Korolev hated hypergolic propellants and vetoed Vladimir Chelomei's plan for the UR-700, a Saturn V-class booster that would be essentially a Proton rocket on steroids. Because Soviet manufacturing technology was not up to producing large LOX/kerosene engines, the end result was an N1 first stage with 30 small engines, thus creating a horrible mess that couldn't possibly work.
The Saturn V first stage was hard to develop because of combustion instability problems with the F-1 (the engine required a number of advances in metallurgy to pull off), but also trying to get five engines working in tandem. Now try and imagine getting 30 to work in tandem.
Eventually in the 80s, they did build a Saturn V-class rocket that actually flew (the Energiya) but the collapse of the USSR ended its run after just two launches. But even then, 20 years after the N1, Soviet engineers still were unable to solve the problem of combustion instability on large LOX/kerosene engines so the Energiya instead had a LOX/hydrogen core and four strap-ons with smaller LOX/kerosene engines.

I guess NASA didn't consider it worthwhile to send a lander there to get three pictures before it was destroyed by extreme heat and pressure.

Forgot first recovery of a manmade object from space (Discoverer 13 on August 10, 1960) which beat out Korabl-Sputnik 2 by nine days although the latter was a bigger overall feat because it had dogs and thus first recovery of living creatures from space.

The Space Race:

>CCCP and USA argue about who's the best and commit to a race to space and race to the centre of the earth. This account details the former, even though russia dug the deepest hole.
América: let's get a satélite up there

América: animals in space

USA 0-4 CCCP
Many, many defeats later
América: I got the moon, it was the moon all along, we win no rematch
