| Nov 29, 2023 at 15:57 | comment | added | leo848 | @RussellBorogove I don't think that "losing the space race" is correct terminology here. After all, they won most other significant competitions. | |
| Nov 28, 2023 at 21:46 | comment | added | Harper - Reinstate Monica | @Russell Also, they had an attitude of "move fast, break things, and learn from the broken things", and that choice broke their launch pad good and plenty. Can you imagine such behavior from the west? ;) ;) ;) | |
