what year was it that the Soviets had a man walk on the moon???
Don't take this personally, but this is why few people take your arguing skills seriously. You find some links, do a bit of copy and paste, post then and sit back thinking we should all agree. Then, should any of your posts are challenged, rather than formulate a genuine counter argument, you merely retort like this.
I read the link you posted about "the us letting the soviets beat them" at the start and found it highly amusing. It is about as credible as the "moon landings were fake", which is why I sought not to comment. It is simply someone's attempt to construct an alternate history to make themselves feel better that they weren't the first in something. The thing is, this isn't what you need to move forwards. If the soviets had gotten to the moon first and the US had never been, these people would be saying "we let the soviets get there first because
".
Do you think the majority of russians sat there reading articles about them letting you beat them to be the first on the moon? No. Instead they focused on other things. The first successful landings on venus etc.
