Russia. But in the end the same technology got replicated by the U.S so it doesn't matter.

Soviets did. USA beat them to the Moon but they didn't really pushed to it anyway and focused on space stations instead.

Correct, sir.
>>70375446
Nope, the head of the USSR's space program was Russian.
Shit life in a gulag for him as well.
US is jealous and always has to one up
Mir
>ISS
Sputnik
>Apollo
>>70375617
Nope, Sergei Korolov.
>>70375372
The technology was from Germany you fuckwit.
And the goal was always getting to the moon, in that regard USA won like always.
Go at throttle up
sending humans into space was and is an expensive waste of time.
>>70375270
Nazi Germany
>>70375891
The design and technology was based off, but was ultimately ran and improved by the Russians (who had fewer German scientists then the US). And the aim was never for the moon, it was for space.
But like the nuke the other side stole/developed the technology fast enough that it doesn't matter.
>>70375891
The goal of the SPACE race wasn't to get to the moon. The US space program was more German than the Soviets.
>>70376157
We be Nazi's on the moon! We carry a harpoon!
why is everything about race?

Everyone who worked on NASA was an American
Yo can go fuck yourself if you don't understand why
>>70376127
No it's not.
1. Possibly unlimited access to resources.
2. Science for science's sake.
3. Possible human colonies so we won't die out.
>>70376127
People is kind of waste at times, but satellites are great for the modern world.
>>70376127
Ultimately, it isnt.
>>70376127
Actually that statement is false and you're a faggot. It's actually a great bang for buck investment.
>>70376396
Because you naturalised them? The USSR did the same thing.
>>70376127
>scientific studies are an expensive waste of time
Go pray to Jeebus, Jim Bob.
>>70376396
Yes because Wernher von Braun never had a questionable past.
Although I guess it is right they were all American citizens at the time of the space program.
Russia won the first act, known as the post-WW2 stretched to orbit and first manned flight in space.
America won the second, known as the post-Vietnam era riding high on multiple apollo lunar missions as well as numerous successful deep space and planetary probes.
I say the Corporations tho, have won this final phase of space exploration. They will be without nation, heritage, or sense of duty, only profit. Elon Musk and Corporate Space Fascism here we come ;)
>>70375270
Soviet won, but it is kind of easier to spend a huge amount of your production and science towards something that does not directly benefit the population in a system with a planned economy.
>>70376396
Completely incorrect
>>70376508
Not to mention the drive it gave for electrical and plastics research.
Mostly the soviets but the yanks won the moon bit.
It speaks volumes that the shuttle was an overpriced dangerous piece of shit that cost more than an expendable rocket whilst the Soyuz has been in use since 1966 and is one of the safest launch vehicles and spacecraft in history.
>>70376566
He's more likely to be atheist. Atheists tend to be humanists and thus would rather spend billions on feeding third worlders.
>>70375540
/thread
>>70376756
Soviets also tried to build a shuttle (Buran).
>>70376815
I understand India has a space program.
In 2019 they hope to poo on the moon.
>>70376827
i think its broken
>>70375270
Faggots won. They love jamming their pocket rockets into black holes. Nothing makes them happier than going where no man has gone before.
>>70376827
And gave up quickly instead of sinking hundreds of billions into a garbage programme.

>>70377146
So New Zealand invented the Nuke?
Yes I can support this logic.
It would have been nice is Korolev hadn't died in 1966, maybe the N1 would have worked instead of being finished by idiots and the soviets would have landed on the moon as well. They had no hope of beating apollo but it's a shame all their work never came to anything.
Human beans
>>70377422
That is the sad thing, they really could have/should have capitalized on their advanced space program. But I guess the concept is foreign to them.
Space race : USSR
Moon race : Germany with a US flag
>>70377422
He died because all you had to do is accuse someone you didn't like of something and they'd get hard labor/torture.maybe death. He died because of hard labor. Think it was his heart took a lot of damage.
Just goes to show you that the U.S., while not perfect has a better system.
Man was a genius tho

USA CONFIRMED FOR BEST SYSTEM IN THE WORLD, DEUS VULT!
>>70377607
It was doomed, the Americans had Von Braun as the strong man at the top of Apollo, the soviets had no one with Korolev gone. Korolev was a genius, the Vostok and Soyuz are clear showcases, the people who replaced him just weren't him. (Nasa similarly went off the rails after Von Braun retired in 1972, which is why we got the waste of space called the shuttle).
Add in political meddling demanding they test fly the thing before test firing all of the engines and other similar idiocy amongst the soviet leadership and it was doomed.
>>70377777
Yeah the soviet system had a lot more failures, especially with unmanned probes, than the US did too, they just covered them up.
>winning something that has no prize
Trillions of dollars have been dumped into space. There's been literally 0 return on that investment.

Who did this? US did this.
>>70376127
fuck you
>>70378374
you're one dumb motherfucker
>>70378329
What I mean is there was no attempt to record or teach from Korolev. The way they treated their scientists and tacticians is one of their greatest failures in my opinion.
>>70378534
A compelling argument. Unfortunately for you, I have a registered IQ of 270.
>>70378374
Satellites, world wide web (talking to you makes me doubt it's such a good thing however), a fuck tonne of plastics and semiconductors.
>>70377665
and there is also MIR
>>70378744
FUCKING MUTANT!
>>70378655
The man was in a gulag for years in the 1940s, the soviet leadership was awful.

Satellites have nothing to do with space.
Everything else you mentioned have no monetary returns.

>>70379092
The soviet moon landing plan was basically a scaled down Apollo, a two man Soyuz with a one man lander, since the N1 rocket theoretically only lifted 70% of the payload that the Saturn V did. They had test flown the soyuz and the L3 lander individually, they just never got the N1 to work. So the hardware is all out there rotting in warehouses somewhere.

Never.

Hahahaha, Slavshits trying to fly on the moon
Well we arent living in space colonies and getting made at earthling privledge so Id say nobody won.

I suspect I'm doing something wrong honestly.
>>70375270
Nobody, because no nation has a sustained long term program to remain in and expand space operations.
>>70380230
That's not true. What is ISS?
The Space Race MADE the USSR, so when they gave up after USA claimed the Moon, the USSR was bound to collapse due to the shortcomings of communism, although they put up a good fight and kept the plates spinning for 22 years. They had to go and invade Afghanistan, though. Don't invade a country made out of pure mountain.
USSR
>>70377068
kek underrated post
>>70380476
But the funny thing is that Slavshits were not smart enough to build a rocket that was able to fly to the moon. This cemented the view that they are inferior, today they are only a 2nd world country at best.
>>70375540
Germans aren't white.
