It's the USA without contest.

75% of successful space programs are made by them.

Soviet union, of course.

Well the soviets did most of the heavy lifting but the west beat them to the finish line.

>the west
USA*

they had our moral support

Humanity

fag

We did

depends what you consider winning.
Soviet Union was a month ahead of US when they were actually 'racing' before Soviets gave up.

>le moon landing meme
Americans actually believe it's relevant xddxdxdxdxdeksdi

The USSR

Russia won how is this even a question?

countries that own planets:

USA: Mars, the Moon

The soviet Union: 0

How do you own them? US has astronauts in space only because Russia allows them to use Russian rockets.

Soviet Union, once again proving that the USA is awful and they shouldn't represent capitalism.

flags and roving drones ready to obliterate non americans on sight

Mexico since they made kerbal space program

Considering America developed the Space Shuttle, the Hubble Telescope, and landed on a Comet where the Soviets just fucked around and killed dogs I think we won.

We used German rocket designs to get into space

How does it count as a win for Russia when didn't make any significant improvement to the missile designs they stole from the nazis (both sides captured nazi scientists in operation Paperclip).

The nazis were the first to send a missile to space

The Soviets

You say that as if without Russia the US wouldn't be going into space anymore.
If the soyuz wasn't an option then NASA would have not cancelled the shuttle program until Orion was much closer to completion.

le contrarian teenagers who think the USSR did anything important in space after 1960.

Meanwhile us burgers kept the ball rolling until 2011. Modern day if you count our ROVERS ON MARS

and British testing...

No, the west. The manned space program was mainly Brit and Canadian aerospace engineers from the Avro project "loaned" to NASA by PM Deifenbaker where they formed the core of what is today called the Johnson Space Center [sic].
The lunar lander, which you will recognise as the thing that makes a lunar landing possible, was designed by chief flight engineer and Canadian Owen Maynard.

Who has done the most in space to date? The USA? Okay, yeah, the USA won it.

Russia's space program is nothing more than a taxi service to LEO at this point.

they got some cuck in space first. i know jackshit about this but that sounds breddy impressive

The USSR got a headstart in 1957 with Sputnik, the first sattalite. They also put the first man in space.

This sums up everything they did, their largest rocket exploded, they killed countless astronaughts, and the US/Canada mastered the Apollo and Space Shuttle Programs. Russians dont have rovers on Mars, Russians do nothing but sell out to NASA so we can use their shitty rockets to send supplies to OUR International Space Staiton.

Since when is putting astronauts in LEO important? If it's cheaper to pay the Russians to use old soviet tech to do it, why not?

NASA needs to focus it's budget on exploring the solar system, not being a taxi service.

There were no 'race' in the first place.

Sorry first rover on moon was soviet

engineers and scientists

Who did the beat?

Gravity

Flat earthers

Who gives a shit, no one cares about space anymore.

The USA

the soviets moon rocket exploded and killed all of their best engineers

the white race

>USA
>white

>USSR
>white

Silly Hon, The USA was white during the Space Race,

Let's see shall we:

USSR:

First satellite
First living creature in space
First man in space
First woman in space
First spacewalk
First modular space station
First unmanned reusable spacecraft

USA:

First man on the man
First reusable spacecraft

I'd give it to the Soviets. Sure you yanks love to go on about "but muh Neil Armstrong","muh... Columbia", but the Soviets made progress in more areas than the burgers before them. It's like yankees telling us Brits "we saved the world's ass in WW2", uhmm... no you didn't do it alone.

Pretty sure the first man on man was done by the Greeks.

Everything you just named on the USSR side was doubled up and improved by the US. But your a dumb wiki teenager who ignores the technology involved, instead arbitrarily generalizes what is what. I bet you dont even know the difference between the Hubble Telescope and a telecom satellite.

>Made every significant milestone whilst under a shitty authoritarian communist regime against the richest country in the world.
I think the soviets clinched this one fairly cleanly, it wasn't even a fair fight for them either.

earth

I'm a CS PhD student, I'm pretty sure I know the difference between the HST and a telecommunications satellite.

and read it again yank, this a race being decided here. It means the first one to do it wins, regardless of the fact if the others did it much better later.

see
Hardly did jackshit desu. And how many times do you think it took for them to get it right? The USSR rarely reported launch failures.

did he died?

fag

The one that still exists and has robots on other planets.

(((them)))

probably, pretty old picture and squirrels have a short lifespan, specially when they are stupid when it comes to avoiding cars.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Russia won.

We, the Slavs, did win it of course.

>they killed countless astronaughts,

Amerikabooms.

Brazil I hardly want to believe you feel the USSR only lost three astronauts. With their history of censorship do you seriously think that's a valid number?

why is the flag waving when there's no wind on the moon? Could it be that this was perhaps, shall I say it... a hoax?

Whose rockets are used to launch supplies to the ISS nowdays?

>The nazis were the first to send a missile to space

no...

Jews. Because both USA and USSR, now Russia waste tonnes of money for useless crap like Moon and Mars programs intead of practical space stuff.

USA has the best spies and detection systems on earth. The CIA knew exactly how many cosmonauts boarded each rocket and how many returned. So the numbers are official.

...

Not at the time. Theres a famous video recording a Russian-speaking female in a spacecraft that burns up. I dont see that name on the list. Nor would you. The United States did not have the capability to monitor all communications at the time.
nice /leftypol/ maymay tankie

>finish line
there is no finishing line,there are only milestones, next mayor milestones are a manned mission to Mars, or a moon base whoever does this will lead the race

America BTFO

It's not really a race, just a set of milestones. The Soviets reached the "man in space" milestone, the US reached the "man on the moon" milestone and later the "probe on mars" milestone.

Greece will be the first nation to Jupiter.

It was not a woman it was a man named Vladimir Komarov. He inspected the rocket and noticed a metric fuckton of defects in it. He knew it was a suicide mission and if he didn't go then they'd send his best friend Yuri Gagarin instead.

He volunteered and his spacecraft burned up during re-entry. An NSA station in Turkey listened to his conversation cursing Soviet officials a few moments before his spacecraft crashed and he died.

>Q: Who put the first object into space?
>A: See flag
The answer is pretty obvious, OP.

The Soviets were the first to bake a man in orbit.

>Not at the time.

It did. It always did.

Komarov is on my list.

No user, this

This famous recording that was never acknowledged by the Russians. Some Swedish teenagers or something picked it up I dont recall

Arigato fellow user.

>Who won the Space Race?
hmmm, I wonder....

Soviet Union of course, fuck the USA. The second to win country was mighty Germany, because NASA leader von Braun was Nazi scientist.

U used shittier Nazi Scientists than we did Ivan shut up desu just as much thieves as we are

Well, USA might have lost the Space Race, but "the best fireworks" award definitely goes to them, hands down.

Is that Columbia?

To all the tankies

you just gave me hard on with that line senpai

Sorry, cant hear you over our martian landers and your lack of space program.

>Moon
>A planet

delet

>bringing humanity into the Space Age
vs
>a weather satellite

Satellites and telescopes count. Mars shit is useless in next centuries.

>its useless because I say its useless!

no. what we learn there enables us to make progress in the future, vanitz. The USSR took you to space, but they USSR doesnt exist anymore. Stop taking credit.

Sorry, can't hear you over an actual space program. You must sit in that corner with India, tho.

Dude, the space race was just the Soviet Union's excuse to develop ICBMs that could turn the USA into a crater.

*might

Mars is the next step and we are building shuttles that'll be able to go to mars and back

It was for both countries at first t.bh

I don't see Russia going to outer worlds and distant galaxies. I don't see Russia operating the worlds greatest number of satellites, or anything remotely comparable to a space program whatsoever outside of your launch facility in Kazakhstan.

>I don't see Russia going to outer worlds and distant galaxies
Dude, I really don't want to dissapoint you, but Insterstellar wasn't actually a documentary.

dude, you're still using russian rockets to this day

see

New Horizons and Pioneer are both actively near or already without the Solar System. Voyager is long gone and did more in 30 years than your country did in 60.
Because the Vatniks are cheaper to mooch off than NASA which struggles for budget. despite this fact however they still BTFO the current space-farriers by miles.

Trump is going to increase their budget.

In Lima Perú, there is a somewhat famous love hotel called Yuri Gagarin. Is there a Neil Armstrong hotel? No.

URSS: 1
USA: 0

In my town there is a bar called Yuri Gagarin, lol. My grandfather also has a t-shirt with Yuri Gagarin stamp.

fucking traitors
