>>200134316How many Mexicans have stepped on the moon?
>>200134316No one gives a shit. Touching the moon is the only one anyone gives a shit about
>>200134316Only thing that matters in a race is who crossed the finish line first

Why did the space race end once the US landed on the moon then? Why didn't it keep going?
>>200134514It didn't
The moon landing is significantly more difficult than anything else the Soviet Union accomplished. That's why no one else has been able to do it and why America won the space race.
not sure if disingenuous or just ignorant, but american space firsts include:>first comsat>first spy sat>first weather satellite>first photos of Mars>first space probes to visit the outer solar system>first photos of Mercury>first manmade object recovered from space>first liquid hydrogen rocket engine>first reusable spacecraft>first manmade object to exit the solar systemthis is the sort of thing where either "side" can endlessly bring up more achievements and the "winner" is whoever can name numerically more of them. the only meaningful way to define the "winner" of the space race would have to relate to the actual motivations for the space race, which was missile technology. under that standard, it's still not entirely clear, though i guess the collapse of the soviet union sort of gives a final verdict in a sense
>>200134514Because it's extremely difficult and expensive.

>>200134316Landing a human on the moon and bringing them back alive is a far more difficult thing to do than every single one of those accomplishments the Soviets did. It's so difficult that no other country has managed to do it, not even the Soviets despite their attempts and I'm pretty sure the attempts on doing bankrupted them.
