It's the USA without contest.

75% of successful space programs are made by them.

>>77755404
Soviet union, of course.

Well the soviets did most of the heavy lifting but the west beat them to the finish line.

The USSR

Russia won how is this even a question?

countries that own planets:

USA: Mars, the Moon

The soviet Union: 0

>>77756635
How do you own them? US has astronauts in space only because Russia allows them to use Russian rockets.

Soviet Union, once again proving that the USA is awful and they shouldn't represent capitalism.

Mexico since they made kerbal space program

Considering America developed the Space Shuttle, the Hubble Telescope, and landed on a Comet where the Soviets just fucked around and killed dogs I think we won.

How does it count as a win for Russia when didn't make any significant improvement to the missile designs they stole from the nazis (both sides captured nazi scientists in operation Paperclip).

The nazis were the first to send a missile to space

>>77755404
The Soviets

>>77756671
You say that as if without Russia the US wouldn't be going into space anymore.
If the soyuz wasn't an option then NASA would have not cancelled the shuttle program until Orion was much closer to completion.

No, the west. The manned space program was mainly Brit and Canadian aerospace engineers from the Avro project "loaned" to NASA by PM Deifenbaker where they formed the core of what is today called the Johnson Space Center [sic].
The lunar lander, which you will recognise as the thing that makes a lunar landing possible, was designed by chief flight engineer and Canadian Owen Maynard.

>>77755404
Who has done the most in space to date? The USA? Okay, yeah, the USA won it.

Russia's space program is nothing more than a taxi service to LEO at this point.

>>77756938
they got some cuck in space first. i know jackshit about this but that sounds breddy impressive

>>77757033
The USSR got a headstart in 1957 with Sputnik, the first sattalite. They also put the first man in space.

This sums up everything they did, their largest rocket exploded, they killed countless astronaughts, and the US/Canada mastered the Apollo and Space Shuttle Programs. Russians dont have rovers on Mars, Russians do nothing but sell out to NASA so we can use their shitty rockets to send supplies to OUR International Space Staiton.

>>77756671
Since when is putting astronauts in LEO important? If it's cheaper to pay the Russians to use old soviet tech to do it, why not?

NASA needs to focus it's budget on exploring the solar system, not being a taxi service.

>>77755404

There were no 'race' in the first place.

Silly Hon, The USA was white during the Space Race,

Let's see shall we:

USSR:

First satellite
First living creature in space
First man in space
First woman in space
First spacewalk
First modular space station
First unmanned reusable spacecraft

USA:

First man on the man
First reusable spacecraft

I'd give it to the Soviets. Sure you yanks love to go on about "but muh Neil Armstrong","muh... Columbia", but the Soviets made progress in more areas than the burgers before them. It's like yankees telling us Brits "we saved the world's ass in WW2", uhmm... no you didn't do it alone.

>>77757899
Pretty sure the first man on man was done by the Greeks.

>>77757899
Everything you just named on the USSR side was doubled up and improved by the US. But your a dumb wiki teenager who ignores the technology involved, instead arbitrarily generalizes what is what. I bet you dont even know the difference between the Hubble Telescope and a telecom satellite.

>Made every significant milestone whilst under a shitty authoritarian communist regime against the richest country in the world.
I think the soviets clinched this one fairly cleanly, it wasn't even a fair fight for them either.

earth

>>77758133

I'm a CS PhD student, I'm pretty sure I know the difference between the HST and a telecommunications satellite.

and read it again yank, this a race being decided here. It means the first one to do it wins, regardless of the fact if the others did it much better later.

Hardly did jackshit desu. And how many times do you think it took for them to get it right? The USSR rarely reported launch failures.

no...

Jews. Because both USA and USSR, now Russia waste tonnes of money for useless crap like Moon and Mars programs intead of practical space stuff.

>>77758700
USA has the best spies and detection systems on earth. The CIA knew exactly how many cosmonauts boarded each rocket and how many returned. So the numbers are official.

>>77758824
Not at the time. Theres a famous video recording a Russian-speaking female in a spacecraft that burns up. I dont see that name on the list. Nor would you. The United States did not have the capability to monitor all communications at the time.

there is no finishing line,there are only milestones, next mayor milestones are a manned mission to Mars, or a moon base whoever does this will lead the race

>>77755404
It's not really a race, just a set of milestones. The Soviets reached the "man in space" milestone, the US reached the "man on the moon" milestone and later the "probe on mars" milestone.

Greece will be the first nation to Jupiter.

>>77758981
It was not a woman it was a man named Vladimir Komarov. He inspected the rocket and noticed a metric fuckton of defects in it. He knew it was a suicide mission and if he didn't go then they'd send his best friend Yuri Gagarin instead.

He volunteered and his spacecraft burned up during re-entry. An NSA station in Turkey listened to his conversation cursing Soviet officials a few moments before his spacecraft crashed and he died.
