Absolute legend o7
It’s crazy how thoroughly memory-holed the entirety of the soviet space program was. They clearly won the space race, both as a matter of technological progression and social milestones, but somehow the US state managed to hoodwink its people into believing that the space race was always about landing on the moon, not
putting up a satellitewait noputting a person in spacewait no not that one eitherputting a person in orbitshit they keep beating usThe Soviets literally won the race to space, but the Americans landing people on the moon was hella impressive. Also worth mentioning that for the past ~50 years, we’ve sent people to live in space stations (Soviet invention) but not back to the moon (American accomplishment). And of course the Soyuz rocket remained relevant this entire time. But either way, space exploration is awesome! I love both space agencies :)
they were the bidens of the era
What is that even supposed to mean?
it means two things
- the soviets were 50 years ahead of their time in social progressivism
- original commenter doesn’t understand economics
But Biden has never been ahead of his time…?
Under what kind of logic is Biden a progressive, though, he’s barely to the left of Trump.
