fuck off butthurt belt

korolev was too stubborn
It is not my fault

No one won the space race, it has barely begun, space exploration is in its infancy.

POO

The soviets dominated the space race though.

>didnt land on the moon
>didnt land a rover on mars
>b-but we orbited it and shot a monkey out there first

real winner is mexico because they got kerbal space program

THE FALL OF THE USSR WAS A MISTAKE

If Americans have won space race how come this forum has a 2000 character limit per post

It was not.

us was the turtle and ussr the rabbit
they can beat us at every turn except the race

Reminder that it was because of german tech and scientist those both countries were even able to do it at that point.

Real winner is Nazi Germany

literally wrong but okay

inb4 look at all this shit nobody cares about

nothing is impressive as a man walking on the moon

von braun did not invent rockets or space travel
real winner is tsiolkovsky

>first hispanic and black person in space

this is not an achievement.

It's OK Canada. I found your leaf in High Earth Orbit.

Von Braun was the first to send an object into space :^)

Strawgrabbing much

But according to scientists, the flag that they put on the moon is totally white now, because of radiation and shit.

It's white.
...So the moon is french right?

>nothing is impressive as a man walking on the moon

Pretty confident Tsar Bomba was more impressive.

lol big boom so epic!! xD

no

Soviets:

>first space walk
>first landing on Mars
>first landing on Venus
>first images from both Mars and Venus

USA:
>some maneuvers in space
>everything involving the moon
>first moon walk

no we didn't make a bigger one because it was pointless

the technicals wasn't the bomb itself but the plane that carried it

They sent it to Venera

>le first women in space XD
>le first dog in space XD
"No"

>called space race
>winner is not the first in space but the first in moon

How does it make sense, guys?

>Venera
Venus even for English speakers.

the moon is in space, guy

Whilst the moon landing was a major propaganda victory, the space race (a propaganda war) had really died down by then.

You don't appear to understand how how these battles are fought but the USSR made the US look incredibly technologically inferior for the majority of the duration of the space race.

>Earth is in space
>Russia existed before the US

But the space isn't in space...? Really makes you think.

space is not just space, it is the idea of extra terrestrial everything and not just the distance in between
space stuff and space no stuff

I'd say getting a thing into orbit as in "going to space". Not the moon, just making sure something doesn't fall back on the earth.
So that would be a Soviet achievement obviously

really makes you think

Many countries have put people into orbit. Only one has planted their flag on the moon.

So if you're running a 200 meter race and you're the last at the 200 meter point but keep running for a kilometer, you won?

The US was losing the Space Race so badly that they moved the goalposts to the moon.
In the end it was humanity's greatest singular achievement.

>It's called the space race
>as in, the first to reach space
But that apparently doesn't count because of reasons

A thread about the space race and nobody posted the pic with the american redneck in the corner an d all the other achievements by Russia, come on

It wasn't a set distance race though. Are you autistic?
This is true, but we also weren't focused on space to the same extent as the soviets until Kennedy. Ike was busy with Korea and the interstate highway system.

But it kinda was, as in who's first in space, hence the name "space race"

That's not why it was called that and the term was coined after that had already been achieved. But hey, if it makes a Belgian feel better to shill for a dead commie regime, by all means.

Don't mention facts. I love space autism on Sup Forums. BTW they're doing better now if you consider it important.

>yfw Americans won the Space Race
KEK

So why is it called the space race and not the moon race?

>muh solar panels

Also technically this if you want to be anal about it

Do you think that sending a nigger and a shitskin to the space is not an achievement?

>whining about how communism lost to capitalism is "unfair"
does anybody else see the irony here?

first yes if it ended there but didn't
the idea of winning isn't just go somewhere and stop in this way it is not like a terrestrial race where the ground is define
this is more like reaching into the darkness do as much as you technically can and beat them at what they did
spunik would have won if we didn't do anything but we did and then they did, thus after his first turn, they decided to compete against their own race
that's what makes it a race, to do until the other guy can't

Or the Paris guns in WW1

there is no capitalism in the nasa race, it was 100 on life support

"capitalism" also ended the Apollo program

...

>tfw born too skon to explore space
thank god for dank memes

But that is not a race. The Soviets did it first and the US did it better. I think we can all agree on that.
That took long enough

>a government funded program lost to another government funded program

capitalism and communism amirite

>I think we can all agree on that
no we can't because they couldn't keep up
we won because they exhausted their resources

>CAT Scans, microchip tech, water filters and satellite TV, inventions derived from the Apollo program tech, are irrelevant.

it's not fair to say that desu.

this tbqh

>Sam: those ruskis doing some funny things without us
>Ben: ALRIGHT WE RACE NOW
>Ivan: huh?
>Ben: ALRIGHT WE WON
>Ivan: what?

>Russia won the space race
Well, what are they currently doing now?
That was decades ago, Russia has ran out of gas, what's going on in space and space related tech currently?

So if China desides to copy one of your rockets but make it bigger, and fly it to mars with a chink, would make them the true winners of space?
Also please remind me how americans nowadays go to the ISS

Being a taxi service for all the other countries that don't have a manned space flight program but still want into space

>Poortugal

>ivan: we won space
>sergei: but country is collapsed
>ivan: not matter paint yuri gagarin on every tenement

You are aware 3 of the current 5 people currently on the ISS are russians, and russians currenlty have the most ''reliable'' way to get people up there and sown from there, right?

*6 people

ah yes ebin comeback my fat friend d:^)

Stop bullying Indians pls

>tfw """"""great""""""" britain still doesn't have tech to send people to space
You now realize that in the case of armageddon only Russia and USA will be able to get away.

>Poortugal
>Space

>unlivable toxic gas planet

wow, who cares

>USA
You're going to be lonely out there Vasiliy

>being a commie

This

...

Nice damage control

I'm sure they will shit out tons of them, so couple probably would survive.

yeah, you triggered my autism.

The US had a lot more space for funding directly because of the large amounts of money made off of taxes on private businesses which were outlawed in the USSR. So yeah, capitalism did win.

>Crashed due to imperial/metric unit mixup

usa cant into space tho.

moonlanding is fake.

stop believing masons fairy tales. and repent

They shouldn't of used so much metric

[global poker face]

humans cant into space. it is all a lie.

soviets and usa are controled by masons.

all this space race and rivality is to keep the mases numb and entertained.

Why is the world so interested in what system of measurement we use?

We don't want your metric or your socialism

>Poortugal

t. tinfoil

Well actually we did into space

>F-FUCK OFF
>WHY ARE YOU SO BUTTHURT

>amerigans have to use bajkonur to get their fatass astronauts onto the iss
WHAT IS RUSSIA DOIN FOR THA SPACE NOW, DEY DOIN NUFFIN

Humans can into space, but what we've been doing since the 1960s is send a bunch of test pilots up to look after science experiments and communications and spy satellites. As long as we're sending them to the unterraformed surfaces of solar planets that won't change. We can into space, but we can't into making space civilisations. Our physiology won't allow it until we start hollowing out some asteroids with robotic mining then spinning them for artificial gravity.

americans are fat so they are used to declaring the end of the race when they feel like it

xddd eat dick u commie scumbags xdddd

america always has and will have the best rts units over soviets

>but we can't into making space civilisations
We can if need arises. There's no need for it right now. Besides colonizable planets are in fuckhuge distance away from us, unless you meant colonizing worthless planets with no life support.
