Just for the record the only space race was several key Soviet missilemen making an effort to be first for propaganda purposes. There was no "official space race" until Apollo was expedited by Kennedy in 1961. The term space race is incorrect as regards the US efforts and was a term coined by politicians and news media.The US had orderly military and civil space programsand they was not for propaganda or politics.

What are you saying? Us science and space programs were doing quite well. Not being first is not a measure of abilitybut simply what your priorities are and what funding you have. Look at all the programs the US had in 1957 - don'tread or watch documentaries. Learn the facts yourself.

i think the Russians won the space race actually. They launched the first object into orbit, the first person into space, the first person into orbit,the first woman into space, the first object to orbit the moon. I mean the only thing the USA did that the russians didnt do first was land a man on the moon. I wish the russians wouldve kept going and got a man on the moon and then set their sights at mars...wouldve been awesome or even better if USA and Russia have another space race.
