we like to make fun of the american space program because they were behind in a bunch of milestones, but damn, landing on the moon is pretty fuckin good IMO.
like I don’t really think of it as an american victory over the Soviets, but as a general human accomplishment, landing on the moon is pretty much one of the best we got.
Soviet accomplishments in space stations are probably as important or more important but damn, humans landed on the fuckin moon. holy shit!
Honestly I think they’re only doing this new corporate space race because China is picking up where the USSR left off
