Wow 70 years of history is so flat, it just folds right up in your pocket like that, stunning. Its possible you've left a few details out

The ussr managed to get nearly all of the firsts in the space race while spending less than a tenth of what the US spent to lose nearly all of the firsts in the space race.

Cool cool what did that earn them by the 70s? How well off were they into the 80s? Switching to oligarchy capitalism didn't help them, though, they still used the Energia Engines from 1988 until 2017, but where they really struggled was Chemistry and Medicine.

So why/how is the US such a tragic thorn in your side?

Why is the biggest loser in history the eternal focus of your rage?

Because of the lies you want us to forget lmao
