    “When I orbited the Earth in a spaceship, I saw for the first time how beautiful our planet is. Mankind, let us preserve and increase this beauty, and not destroy it!” -Yuri Gagarin, First man in space.
    Edit about this comment section: I saw after scrolling down a bit that people are getting angry that Americans (like myself) are neglectful of soviet work in space, If you are one of these people please shut up, you should be seeing space exploration as a combined effort by humanity to get out of our watery cradle and into the stars and beyond as a species and not as countries or entities. This is also basically the reason that international space cooperation such as on the ISS exists. Overall I'd just like to say that you should see space as a challenge for our species that will be solved and not simply a matter of propoganda or nationalism/patriotism.

      The soviets stopped being the leader in space exploration in 1965. Their last major first was Voskhod 2( you could also argue Luna 9). After that the highly successful Gemini program combined with the fact the early Soyuz program was riddled with all sorts of problems meant that the Soviets had fallen behind. Even 50+ years later Manny of the US's firsts have yet to be matched by any nation. So, in the long run, who really won the space race?
      There are 2 sides to every story my friend. Both programs nations had triumphant firsts that pushed humanity further than ever before.

      While I agreed we all should get great credit from the Soviets for a lot of achievements, US did a lot of firsts and achievements too and we shouldn't downplay or ignore any of them either.
      And yes in long run, the Soviets lost their momentum compared to the first half of the race (Korolev's death, internal shenanigans, lacks funding, and important technologies (computer and others).

    This makes me want to cry. I am russian and all my life I have been into aerospace. Knowing what Russia has become today makes me want to throw up. Sure, the USSR was ABOSOLUTELY far from perfect, but the country had a precise ideology and real hopes and dreams that fueled the fantasies of the people. The fact that the soviets engineers could pioneer something as hard as space for so long with limited ressources and constant abuse by their superiors really shows the sheer motivation by which they were moved.
    Glory to aerospace engineers from all around the world. Thank you for keeping this dream alive.

    • @Bluegillbronco2
      @Bluegillbronco2  Рік тому +87

      As an American I disagree. Consider a race with 2 halves. Opponent A has a strong lead in the first half. But in the second Opponent B takes the lead. A lead so great that opponent A is so embarrassed they straight up lie about not competing in the second half. The fact is the Americans matched every Soviet first in space(often mere months after the USSR first achieved them). But so far no one has been able to match the achievement that was the Apollo Program. 50+ years on and the only country even close to having that capability of sending people to the moon is.... The USA. If you arbitrarily draw the finish line at the end of 1965, sure the Soviets won the space race. But the race continues in after that...

      @@rizzospastis The soviets most certainly did not win "all but 1 operations". The Americans had plenty of firsts.( Many of which have yet to be challenged). Also: The entire point of the space race was to measure the technological supremacy of the 2 super powers. And since I subscribe to the idea the Americans won the space race, then I also subscribe to the idea that the space race demonstrated the technical superiority of the USA over the СССР.(To an extent). Sure I am obviously biased toward the side of my homeland. But that doesn't mean I can't t respect or honor the efforts the other side made in the space race. In fact that's largely why I made this video.
