its called the space race. not the moon race or the orbit race or comeback race. this is why other countries dont respect us, cause we can't seem to give respect to others when its due.

mildly annoys me that this guy apparently hasn’t done enough research cus Soviets also got the first space station into space (Salyut 1) and Americans got theirs into orbit a good two years and change later

i hate the fact that people say I didn't win the 100m dash just because I came in goal 3 seconds after the first guy. I totally won

First to get something into space. Didn’t the US shoot a manhole cover into space with an atomic bomb at Mach-Jesus in the 40/50’s

The moment the US took the lead they declared the race was over and the finish line was always right here

This whole conversation isn't actually about who was first, but about the kind of propaganda you live in. If you think that (any) of those countries was an obvious winner, then you're just repeating propaganda.

If you think of it as a race with laps, leading the most laps isn't exactly a win

yes it was a masterclass in moving the goalposts. Set the goal so far ahead that the opponent's lead is negligible, then beat them so hard to that they give up.

Completely ignoring the purpose of the space race which was missile technology. First to get anything in space is the winner by that metric.

Us has the first landing on the moon. USSR has first satellite, first man in space, first hard landing on moon, first soft landing on moon, first remote rover on moon. We tend to over emphasize one because we did it.

Also claiming Sputnik as the first satellite is funny because you have to use the most basic definition since Sputnik was basically just a metal ball they shot into space, America actually had the first genuinely useful satellite
