The United States and Soviets took their rivalry to space. But what exactly caused this? Why did they both care so much about beating each other?

G Q P They never made it because there was no point anymore
the noose was the best invention there was no point because they already lost.
the noose was the best invention
USA: first rendezvous, first docking, for a time held the longest duration in space, advanced EVA maneuvers.
How about a video for the alternate history channel: *What if the space race continued?* meaning that what if the Soviet Union didn't settle the race after the moon landing, but instead aimed for more
ChiefPaddy I was thinking the exact same thing! If it would've continued would we be closer to getting to Mars or would we already have gotten there?
ChiefPaddy the Cold War would've had to have continued as well and we all know from the fallout series how that turns out...
They did aim for more; the US did not, so there was nobody to race against. You lose all passion if there is no competition, and thus it, sadly, died.
i seem to recall hearing about plans to turn the moon into a refueling station, something about helium 3 being abundant there or something.
honestly, i think that's one of 3 major things that need to happen to make the space race more economically feasible, strip mining the moon, or some form of cheap way to lift goods into orbit (space elevator, space cannon, or some form of super efficient engine)
and a form of FTL travel/nearFTL travel (such as warp or wormholes)
@Bart FTL travel is near inposible with our knowledge it will take a literal miricle for a scientest to stumble onto anything FTL related

Sad that the moon did not result in a race to mars.
Then that Would be faked too. Just kidding
Fiaura The Tank Girl I found an article about two organizations stationed in the U.S racing to mars. The only thing I saw was "The U.S gets so bored waiting for other countries to catch up it starts racing itself".
Thats because Korolew died
Also it will be years before we can go to Mars.
Actually we can go to Mars, we just can't come back
A good death sentence is with a consenting prisoner, send them to Mars to plant a flag and hang out until they run out of air, maybe give them some kind of sleeping pill for the end.

It would've been so heroic if the United States had helped the Soviet Union go to the moon and once both rockets had reached, the Soviet and American moonwalkers would shake hands and say "Congratulations" on live tv.
just imagine.
i’ve got a alternate history boner.
dylan. Shit if that happens we would have a Soviet American alliance that could rule the world be pretty fking awesome
We did this to some extent with a mission where an Apollo and Soyuz docked in orbit and the astronauts and cosmonauts exchanged some kind words. The best part is that the Cosmonauts tried speaking in Russian and the Astronauts tried speaking in Russian whenever they talked.
Would’ve been cooler if they’d dueled on the moon, but then again if they didn’t want the duel to end in an insta-kill they’d have had to set up a base so....

@@AsymmetricalCrimes "Achievements" that only Americans are celebrating! Lol! 🤣 Besides the moon landing, which is highly questionable to this day, you play second rate to Soviet space dominance. They were practically FIRST in everything! EAT THAT!!!
@@bluejay7232 Moon landing was questionable? Lol ok, way to completely invalidate yourself.
And the Soviets were not first in everything. The amount of US and USSR first are roughly the same in terms of numbers. Only difference the USSR firsts were cheap and matched by the US every time. The US first on the other hand have never been replicated by any other country. The US is still the only country to send vessels past Mars.
The only reason the Soviets even have first is because they just threw shit up there with no meaning. Sputnik was literally just a beeping radio. Explorer 1 actually had scientific equipment onboard that actually contributed to humanity's knowledge of space.
@@bluejay7232 It’s easy to only focus on the achievements of one nation. Also, Americans are not celebrating those achievements like we did them first. On top of that, the moon landing is in no way highly questionable.
@@bluejay7232You confuse 'first' with 'best.'
THE greatest achievement of human tenacity was the London Sewer System, by far. But putting a guy on the moon was pretty cool too.
People claiming that the USSR won the space race forget that they almost bankrupted themselves with it, which was one of the mayor goals of it all. From a scientific point, yeah the Soviets one by number of achievements, but politicly the US wins. At least that's my opinion.
What if the US and the USSR worked together to reach the moon like kennedy wanted?
Instead of the photo of armstrong with the flag its a soviet and American shaking hands or something
Would the Apollo-Soyuz be enough?
History shows you can never trust muricans.
You can never trust humans
Not even yourself
The only thing that can be heard in space is the sound of *freedom*
Yes there are no fatmericans there at all except as guests of the Russians.

What if they never banned weapons in space. Come on Alt History Hub you can do it!

First satellite to orbit earth - USSR

USA: YEAH, WE WON!
They won the battles we won the war.
The Russians have had more space stations, and they actually flew from one station to another in space.
A ton of people died in the Soviet program, the USSR conceded and the USSR collapsed, but you know, the U.S. lost...
Ivan Kretov Ivan Kretov first woman in space isn't a technological achievement. it's exactly like putting a man in space.
USA - for a time held the longest duration spaceflight, first rendezvous, first docking, first high-orbit craft, advanced EVA maneuvering, first to actually have a man land in his/her spacecraft, first man-rated lunar lander, most powerful working rocket (by a longshot), and demonstrated the technological feat and ability to send men to the moon.
The US had a goal and they achieved it, so by that they won having achieved their goal.
Technically the Nazis won the space race
Murican Empire how?
I mean, the Nazis did make weapons that could fire near orbit but idk
The Real Damon Jackson the guy in charge of the apollo project was a nazi
Murican Empire Well, the Nazis that worked for Nasa won, while the Nazis that worked for the Soviet space program lost.
TheRadiation10 he was, but wasn't when he was working for NASA
The NAZI space program stolen by the US made it to the Moon. The Soviets had their own much more successful space program. Now that the NAZIs are dead there is no US manned space program. The Russians are still going strong and will be building a Moon base in partnership with ESA.

Too bad Cody didn't get into the Barrow club with Wendover Productions and Real Life Lore
Alternate history: what if Korolev didn't die early?
USSR would reach andromeda
Imo, the US will still reach the moon first. USA put reaching the moon first as a priority. They had been developing the technology to do exactly that. I mean at this point the US congress saw the moon landing as a political agenda than just a space mission.
The support that USSR had back in the day no longer exist. They now deemed it as an expensive political boost.

Welcome to youtube... Where everything is sposnred by the great courses plus
I personally think the Moon landing has been surpassed as our greatest achievement by Voyager 1. The moon is pretty much right there while Voyager 1 has gone interstellar.
Voyager 1 was just a skeleton of metal, while Apollo had to have a pressurised cabin as-well as a PROPULSIVE landing on the moon with PEOPLE on board.
Also Apollo 11 happened in 1969, while Voyager-1 was launched in 1977.
It would be funny if soviets would land on a moon, and plant a flag of their country that failed to exist in a few decades.

Why are people arguing about whether USA or USSR won the race? The end goal was the moon, thus USA won.
Let me explain this very simply:
Athlete 1: first to 5 m
first to 10 m
first to 15 m
first to 20 m
first to 25 m
first to 30 m
first to 35 m
Athlete 2: first to 40 m, which is the goal
*Athlete 1s achievements are all surprising
*Athlete 2 still won the race
It's as simple as this.
I disagree with you very strongly. The moon was USA's goal, not the U.S.S.R.'s. Just because the U.S. had a goal and they achieved it, doesn't mean that the U.S.S.R. lost because they didn't have the same goal. Both countries wanted to be the first in space, therefore it is only correct to call the winner the first to achieve the goal of being in space. And that was the U.S.S.R. Thus, the U.S.S.R. won.
Let me explain this very simply.
Athlete 1: **wants to be first to 100 meters**
first to 100 meters, which is their goal
Athlete 2: **wants to be first to 200 meters**
second to 100 meters
keeps running
first to 200 meters
And even so, lots of people, including many Americans, think the moon landing was fake.
The USSR never agreed to enter a race to the moon.
Only the USA raced to the moon.
The moon was a tertiary priority to the USSR.
@@smartowl0545 If the goal was to go to space first than the ussr lost too

how did america win the space race exactly ? russia got the first satellites first living thing and first man first space station . i mean its impressive to go to the moon but thats the only thing america did that the russians didn't do first
America did the much more impressive achievement in landing men on the moon and returning them.
Peter Farrell HOW is it much more impressive it was one thing that was mathematically possible the only hard thing was really creating the shuttle the processus was known while the soviets literally created space exploration
Everything the Russians did, USA was able to do too. However, USA was able to land on the moon, Russia was not able to.
It's easy to build giant rockets and blast things into space. What is not easy, is to send men on such a giant rocket for 3 days flying towards the moon, a subject of human religion and stories for as long as we have existed. Not only did America send them to the moon, they also brought them back. I guarantee Russia would have left them there if they had the chance, because they don't give a shit about human life.
wrong soviets knew how to do it they simply didn't have the resources in my point of view the soviet won
Soviets:
- First Satellite shot into Space
- First living being shot into space
- First living human shot into space
Americans:
- First landing on the moon
Also Americans: "We won the space race, lads!"
Also soviets: Americans one, we tried.
Yeah it pretty clear that America won
Yeah cool going to space but man on another planet
Americans:
- repeated all the achievements of the Soviet Union
Soviets:
- could not repeat the landing on the moon
Crazy that buzz aldrin and Michael Collins are still alive today
My hometown Montclair NJ just renamed my old middle school Mt. Hebron to Buzz Aldrin Middle School since he went to my middle and high school.
USA: richest space agency
biggest rocket (NASA Saturn V 1969-2020s, SpaceX ITS 2020s-???)
biggest rocket concept (NASA Saturn C8 1960s-2020s, SpaceX ITS 2020-???)
first on the moon (Saturn V)
biggest space telescope (NASA Hubble launched in a STS 1990-2018, NASA again but with ESA James Webb launched in an Ariane V 2018-???)
First plane launched space rocket (STS and another rocket I forgot both on a 747)
first reusable rocket (1980 STS)
first to orbit the moon (Apollo 8, 1960's)
First ICBM (which is still in service! Minuteman)
way more
USSR:
First satellite
First person in space
First attempted launch to the moon
Biggest country ever
Oldest spacecraft to go to the ISS (Soyuz 1950s or 60s- )
First living thing in space
Biggest rocket explosion ever
Riskiest rocket mission that was a success in history (First person in space, he ejected from the rocket)
First artificial satellite (Salyut 1)
First failed type of astronaut (cosmonaut)
Winner...
USA
BTW please don't hate this took almost ten minutes to make
You only said good things about the USA that used Nazis made for them. You clearly are biased on USA
The Sea Dragon was the largest rocket ever conceptualised, but it was still American. And the Russians were the first to develop closed-cycle rocket engines, which is the same type of engine the Space shuttle ended up using.
basically Russia was first in everything but 1 thing and somehow that is suppose to mean that they lost the space race ?
David22092001 yup
Nope the us were first in multiple ways just look up firsts in space
David22092001 when the only objective is to out do the other nation, who did what first is completely irrelevant. when one nation can't either out do or replicate the biggest acchiement of the other, the race ends.
The biggest goal was to land men on the moon- that was the goal of the race, not putting both genders in space. That's why the US won, because they landed a man on the moon first.
nope. There was never an ultimate goal from the start. If we go by your logic then why don't we say the race isnt over till the first people land on mars ? or Pluto ? Or go to Alpha Centauri ? The Space race was a race to get to space and do space things. The Soviets did all but one, the Soviets won.
Wow awsome
You guys have the most tasteful sponsorship ads of any channel I've seen.
What if the US never landed on the moon
Cosmonaut? More like cosmoNOT!
Boom Boom Magoo
Or AstroNot...
Geo & Pixels maybe not...
Saying that while the First Man in Space was a Cosmonaut.
There are no astronauts, they all have to beg rides from the Russians.
THE GREAT COURSES PLUS
CODY THIS HAS BECOME A MEME FOR ME AND MY FRIENDS XD
We need another space race
i saw buzzfeed ad. unsubbing.
the Soviets won just from first achievements alone
But look at it like an actual 100m race. The First Satellite is the 10m line, the first animal is the 25, the first person is the 50, the first orbit is the 75, and the Moon is the finish line. Just because the USSR was winning at 50m doesn't mean they would win the race.
If we go by first achievement, then the Nazis won. The first man made object to ever reach space was MW 18014, a V-2 launched from Peenemünde.
Matt Dragoon Ru had first Starlite,animal,man first Eva(spacewalk), first space station. the nazie's have first thing to go into post war definition of space and amarica had first man on the moon.
Then they won by number of achievements, no from first achievement. Also, what definition of space are you talking about? MW 18014 passed the Kármán Line, which is the boundary between Earth and space, according to FAI.
USSR started first, USA ended first.
0:38 that Sputnik face lol
I find it funny that when we think about the space race, we only really consider the moon. The Soviets had the first animals in space, the first satellite, the first man, the first woman, the first spacewalk and the first space station. But because the US got to the moon we seem to forget about all the achievements by the USSR.
In other words, Soviets won.

Matthew R :3 me first
I've heard that audio from the video before... Where did you get it from
It's sad the the first crew to be sent to Salyut weren't able to dock, and the second crew, who stayed for 2 weeks, died on re entry
I think the Russians should've won, no bias
why?
Darius the brony look at his name
Darius the brony First achievements to go to space. First man, animal, satellite, and rocket.
All what America did was have some help from a German Scientist Wernher Von Braun. And other Astro physicists.
Russia had it's own men creating its own rockets.
But look at it like an actual 100m race. The First Satellite is the 10m line, the first animal is the 25, the first person is the 50, the first orbit is the 75, and the Moon is the finish line. Just because the USSR was winning at 50m doesn't mean they would win the race.
Romeball, then why isn't the first space station the finish line? It's a matter of shifting goalposts and arbitrary finishlines.
Here's a JOKE:
The U.S. won the space race!
HAHAHA!!! :D
Such a great achievement in such a ridonkeylous war (if I can even call it that)
I could have used this about 4 months ago. I was writing a research paper on the cold war.
Cody I love you! :D
If the Space Race continued, we'd be living in the Cowboy Bebop World by now, and if not now, in 50y or so.
Cody, why didn't you make a video about Barrow?
@AlternateHistoryHub I'm starting a new playlist with this video.
Seeya at VidCon!
Your voice sounds so different in the actual video vs. how it sounds in the great courses plus segments.
Remember when exploring space was something that mattered to us?
I miss those days.
