In a game, all that matters is the final score. A team can dominate for most of the game, but if they are one point behind at the final buzzer, they lose.
Right, but that’s not what happened, let’s use your sports analogy The USSR scores 9 points and then the USA scores the last point before the game ends Overall score 9-1
Ooh, i like this! Also in my opinion the US won, because i think that the end goal for the space race was the landing on the moon, and the soviets never did that, so they never crossed the goal line.
Idk 2 points to the space race 1 to flex there military and show off there rocket technology which the Soviets did better getting to space first as the moon has little to do with the whole strategic missiles thing And 2 what's in the name It's the space race not the moon race
The USSR won the space race. Here are the achievements of the USSR: the first artificial satellite (1957), the first animal in space (1957), the first photographs of the far side by the Moon (1959), the first man in space (1961), the first woman in space (1963) G.), the first spacewalk (1965), the first landing of a spacecraft (1966), the first landing of a spacecraft on another planet (Venus) (1970), the first space station (1971), the first landing of a spacecraft on Mars (1971). Sergei Korolev, a supporter of a man landing on the moon, died in 1966, and after that Glushko, appointed general designer of the Soviet space program, decides to stop work on manned lunar programs, since he was a principled opponent of flights to the moon and advocated the creation of orbital near-earth stations for defense goals. The USSR did not begin to land a man on the moon, as it was not economically feasible. The USSR decided that it was much cheaper to send automatic lunar interplanetary stations and self-propelled vehicles remotely controlled from Earth, which was done by the USSR later. Americans spent $ 28 billion from 1960 to 1973 on the Apollo program. Thus, the USSR was able to master the Moon, much more economically and efficiently than the United States. Therefore, the lunar race was also won by the USSR. In general, in all respects, the USSR bypassed the United States.
@@leleuvulliez Whoever crosses the finish line first wins! The USSR very often crossed the finish line first. This race had a propaganda effect. And it was the USSR and the USA that tried to become the first in certain events, and sometimes in spite of reliability, security and economic expediency. If one country became the first, then the second was in no hurry. And how do you know what the finish line is? If we count the total number of successful launches to it, then here too the USSR defeated the USA. The total number of successful space launches from 1957 to 1991: USSR - 2298, USA - 945. The USSR has 2.43 times more than the USA.
@@luckyea7 Finish line is the Moon, which USSR never crossed. Besides way more people have heard of the US's Moon landing than the USSR "2298 to 945 successful space launches." This had a greater propaganda effect than all of the USSR's 'firsts' combined, which very few people know of. Today, the United States has the best developed space program, better than Russia, showing pretty clearly that we defeated them in the Space Race (and Cold War as a whole). The US has the most missions sent outside of Earth, so even if the USSR got their first and used to have a lead, they lost their lead over time and were surpassed by the US.
@@leleuvulliez If the finish line is the Moon, then here too the USSR defeated the USA, since the first apparatus to reach another celestial body, the Moon, was created by the USSR. This happened in 1959. In the same year, the first photograph of the far side of the Moon was taken, also of the USSR. And in 1966 there was the first soft landing on the Moon, the first photographs from the surface of the Moon and the first artificial satellite in the orbit of the Moon. And this was also achieved by the USSR. Also in relation to the Moon, the USSR had the following achievements: the first flyby of the Moon and the return of the device to Earth, the first flyby of the Moon by living beings, the first automatic sampling of the Moon's soil and its delivery to Earth, the first remotely controlled self-propelled vehicle on the Moon. The United States landed astronauts on the lunar surface, while the Soviet Union focused on remote control of spacecraft, which is much cheaper and more economically feasible. Therefore, here, too, the USSR won against the United States, using the allocated money much more efficiently. After all, what is the need to send people to the moon, if it is much cheaper to send a robot there !? The United States squandered a lot of money to land a man on the moon. And when the United States landed astronauts on the moon in 1969, the USSR had been there for 10 years already! But why exactly the Moon is the finish line, and not another planet or another event? The greatest propaganda effect had the first manned orbital flight in 1961, which the whole world learned about - more than the landing of a man on the moon. Also an important milestone was the launch of the first artificial Earth satellite, since it was this achievement that made the USSR the first space power. After the United States, it also launched an artificial satellite, but the United States became only the second space power. Whatever achievements the United States would have after that, this fact cannot be changed. The space race took place between the USSR and the USA, Russia was not a participant in the space race. At the time of the beginning of Russia's existence, the space race between the USSR and the United States had already ended. The USSR was the leader of the space race and did not lose its leadership until the end of its existence.
@@luckyea7 Soviet Union WAS leader of space race not IS hence US won, simple as. Besides, for each Soviet space achievement u pointed out, I can point out a US one: First photos of Earth from space (1946) First solar-powered satellite (1958) First satellite in polar orbit (1959) First photos of Earth from orbit (1959) First satellite recovered from orbit intact (1960) First primate in space (1961) First pilot-controlled space flight (1961) First return to Earth after orbitting Moon (1968) First man on the moon (1969); also brought back first samples from the Moon First spacecraft orbitting another planet, Mars (1971) First spacecraft sent on escape trajectory away from the Sun (1972) which is also first mission to leave the inner Solar System First Jupiter flyby (1973) First Mercury flyby (1974) First Saturn flyby (1979) First Uranus flyby (1986) First Neptune flyby (1989) First comet sample return (2006) First Mercury orbit (2011) First manmade probe in interstellar space (2012) First Pluto flyby (2015) First photo of a black hole (2019) USSR had less money to spend on the Space Race due to a poor economic system; USA had more money. Therefore, USSR was only able to do cheap missions that got little recognition while USA was able to land the first humans on the Moon, a much more important mission. The whole point of the Space Race was to show which economic system was better bc which side was able to afford spending more money on the Space Race. USA was able to afford to spend more money on the Space Race. USSR was not using money "more efficiently" - they just had less money to use. The Space Race was never about efficiency of money it was about showing which system give a state so much surplus money that they could afford spending large amounts of money on a space program. As you said, the Space Race took place between the USA and USSR. However, one of these states had dissolved: the USSR, and with it, its space program. This shows that the USA triumphed over the USSR in the Space Race, considering the fact that its competitor no longer exists. As you say, the Space Race ended when the USSR dissolved - it ended in a US victory. Its the most decisive victory the USA could hope to have; not only did the USSR space program fall behind it, but the USSR as a whole disappeared, and now Russia exists, which is much weaker politically, and whose space program is far behind the USA.
You can also compare the total number of successful space launches from 1957 to 1991: the USSR - 2298, the USA - 945. The USSR has 2.43 times more than the USA. The main winner is humanity! The space race has spurred the development of science, technology and industry. But the main factor in the growth of living standards is the development of fundamental science. The highest growth in labor productivity was in the 50s. Also, high growth was noted in the 60s and 70s. These are the years of the space race. Now the growth of labor productivity is 3 times less than in the 50s.
Many of the devices that we use on a daily basis came to us thanks to space exploration. The most obvious benefit is navigation and communication. Thanks to satellites, we have accurate GPS navigators, internet and satellite TV. Energy-efficient solar panels began to be used not only in close proximity to the Sun, but also on Earth. We have digital camera sensors, airport security scanners, portable x-ray machines, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners, and many other technologies that have come to us as "secondary benefits" from space exploration. The infrared thermometer, which became very popular during the Covid-19 pandemic, was originally used in space applications to measure the temperature of stars and planets. Flame-retardant fabric for astronaut spacesuits came in handy for protective clothing for firefighters and the military. Also, the equipment of the astronauts was useful to the athletes. Space technology has also been used to tailor swimsuits that reduce drag, repel water and have almost no weight, and thermal underwear that retains heat and wicks away moisture. The long stay of astronauts away from places where food can be obtained required a new method of preparation with maximum preservation of nutritional properties. This is how freeze-dried food was invented. With this technology, you can save 98% of the nutritional value and only 20% of the original weight of the product. Today, various dishes are sublimated - from food for athletes to borscht, which is familiar to many residents of the post-Soviet space. Do not forget that the study of space has the goal of preserving the life and health of earthlings. A person can predict the approach of an asteroid and have time to take any action. Also, astronomers can warn us, for example, about approaching solar storms and predict the next big eruption of electromagnetic radiation in the Sun's atmosphere - a solar flare. From space medicine, knowledge about how to prevent many diseases, such as osteoporosis, also comes into everyday life: under the conditions of space flights, astronauts significantly lose bone mass.
This is a bit different than my normal history review stuff, lemme know what you think.
i can't hear you over the music for much of this video.
@@distantanion6742 whoops. thanks for letting me know
this videos too spooki for me
@@thatoneprussian8987 of course my friend! big fan btw
@@lenrrique exciting right?
Nice video
A hug from Brazil
thanks!
When a race was declared when you just wanted to explore space
nice video, keep up the good work.

It's the space race not the moon race
Meh, Russia's had a more profound impact on the world as a whole than america's
The Us focused only on the moon while the USSR was first in everything else
More must have more videos
there will be one soon, i'm glad you liked it!
