The Space Race

[@ChiefPaddy]

How about a video for the alternate history channel: *What if the space race continued?* meaning that what if the Soviet Union didn't settle the race after the moon landing, but instead aimed for more

[@zizougifu]

ChiefPaddy I was thinking the exact same thing! If it would've continued would we be closer to getting to Mars or would we already have gotten there?

[@jerry3790]

ChiefPaddy the Cold War would've had to have continued as well and we all know from the fallout series how that turns out...

[@Nosirrbro]

They did aim for more; the US did not, so there was nobody to race against. You lose all passion if there is no competition, and thus it, sadly, died.

[@SuperExodian]

i seem to recall hearing about plans to turn the moon into a refueling station, something about helium 3 being abundant there or something. honestly, i think that's one of 3 major things that need to happen to make the space race more economically feasible, strip mining the moon, or some form of cheap way to lift goods into orbit (space elevator, space cannon, or some form of super efficient engine) and a form of FTL travel/nearFTL travel (such as warp or wormholes)

Why are people arguing about whether USA or USSR won the race? The end goal was the moon, thus USA won.

[@smartowl0545]

I disagree with you very strongly. The moon was USA's goal, not the U.S.S.R.'s. Just because the U.S. had a goal and they achieved it, doesn't mean that the U.S.S.R. lost because they didn't have the same goal. Both countries wanted to be the first in space, therefore it is only correct to call the winner the first to achieve the goal of being in space. And that was the U.S.S.R. Thus, the U.S.S.R. won. Let me explain this very simply. Athlete 1: **wants to be first to 100 meters** first to 100 meters, which is their goal Athlete 2: **wants to be first to 200 meters** second to 100 meters keeps running first to 200 meters And even so, lots of people, including many Americans, think the moon landing was fake.

I love the conspiracy theory that Apollo didn’t stop at 17 “I think that’s what it was” and several more missions were launched, also, that the Soviets at the same amount of time made it to the moon, and during one of the unknown Apollo missions, they came across a broken down, destroyed lunar lander, along with two Cosmonauts , with their face shields busted. The crew of that mission report it back to mission control of what they have found and machine control told them or asked them. Have you set up the equipment yet they replied yes but we’re worried about the visitors that we can see if they’re going to mess with it when we leave. Another mission following that one was, they saw shadows outside their lunar lander, shortly after they were getting ready to disembark for their moonwalk !

I really don’t care who won, no matter if it was the USA or USSR, humans won, hopefully we focus on space travel for the future.

[@sdiujlfhgbdfilokugsdh]

what about the Soviet Flag found on Mars tho?

[@Viviana088]

I wonder if Elon musk will watch this.

[@clayton8or]

Nah, too busy scamming people with inefficient nonexistent technological projects to prove how great he is.

[@evangarnett7753]

clayton8or_2 I wouldnt call them nonexistant, because well...the technologies exist he literally landed a rocket on the earth from orbit, and spacex has reduced the cost of space travel significantly by millions of dollars so I wouldnt say inefficient either. Do some research and you'll be surprised.

[@tallestliver7853]

clayton8or_2 are you for real...

[@skronkolius]

This is GREAT! You know more and more! and you are learnig in a fun,comedy themed,joke style so this channel is great! 10/10

[@skronkolius]

btw rate the channel you're self ?/10

[@skronkolius]

Patriot Why?

[@David22092001]

basically Russia was first in everything but 1 thing and somehow that is suppose to mean that they lost the space race ?

[@garrusn7702]

David22092001 yup

[@Rct3master44]

Nope the us were first in multiple ways just look up firsts in space

[@ilmevavi1112]

David22092001 when the only objective is to out do the other nation, who did what first is completely irrelevant. when one nation can't either out do or replicate the biggest acchiement of the other, the race ends.

[@dylanm.6601]

The biggest goal was to land men on the moon- that was the goal of the race, not putting both genders in space. That's why the US won, because they landed a man on the moon first.

[@David22092001]

nope. There was never an ultimate goal from the start. If we go by your logic then why don't we say the race isnt over till the first people land on mars ? or Pluto ? Or go to Alpha Centauri ? The Space race was a race to get to space and do space things. The Soviets did all but one, the Soviets won.

[@MrAtlfan21]

We need another space race

[@ulysses7157]

i saw buzzfeed ad. unsubbing.

[@Jebbtube]

Remember when exploring space was something that mattered to us? I miss those days.

[@samgeorge4798]

the Soviets won just from first achievements alone

[@imperatorodaenathus9329]

But look at it like an actual 100m race. The First Satellite is the 10m line, the first animal is the 25, the first person is the 50, the first orbit is the 75, and the Moon is the finish line. Just because the USSR was winning at 50m doesn't mean they would win the race.

[@Dramon8888]

If we go by first achievement, then the Nazis won. The first man made object to ever reach space was MW 18014, a V-2 launched from Peenemünde.

[@samgeorge4798]

Matt Dragoon Ru had first Starlite,animal,man first Eva(spacewalk), first space station. the nazie's have first thing to go into post war definition of space and amarica had first man on the moon.

[@Dramon8888]

Then they won by number of achievements, no from first achievement. Also, what definition of space are you talking about? MW 18014 passed the Kármán Line, which is the boundary between Earth and space, according to FAI.

[@hulkysmashy8183]

[@zema9401]

Soviets: - First Satellite shot into Space - First living being shot into space - First living human shot into space Americans: - First landing on the moon Also Americans: "We won the space race, lads!"

[@PossessedPotatoBird]

Also soviets: Americans one, we tried. Yeah it pretty clear that America won

[@Blacksheepcomics]

Yeah cool going to space but man on another planet

[@vprok94]

Americans: - repeated all the achievements of the Soviet Union Soviets: - could not repeat the landing on the moon

[@matttucker3]

Little brother again? It was fantastic man keep it up!!

[@JoMiMi_h]

USA: richest space agency biggest rocket (NASA Saturn V 1969-2020s, SpaceX ITS 2020s-???) biggest rocket concept (NASA Saturn C8 1960s-2020s, SpaceX ITS 2020-???) first on the moon (Saturn V) biggest space telescope (NASA Hubble launched in a STS 1990-2018, NASA again but with ESA James Webb launched in an Ariane V 2018-???) First plane launched space rocket (STS and another rocket I forgot both on a 747) first reusable rocket (1980 STS) first to orbit the moon (Apollo 8, 1960's) First ICBM (which is still in service! Minuteman) way more USSR: First satellite First person in space First attempted launch to the moon Biggest country ever Oldest spacecraft to go to the ISS (Soyuz 1950s or 60s- ) First living thing in space Biggest rocket explosion ever Riskiest rocket mission that was a success in history (First person in space, he ejected from the rocket) First artificial satellite (Salyut 1) First failed type of astronaut (cosmonaut) Winner... USA BTW please don't hate this took almost ten minutes to make

[@Tana4712]

You only said good things about the USA that used Nazis made for them. You clearly are biased on USA

[@jeffvader811]

The Sea Dragon was the largest rocket ever conceptualised, but it was still American. And the Russians were the first to develop closed-cycle rocket engines, which is the same type of engine the Space shuttle ended up using.

[@kirbyfromdiscord2640]

0:38 that Sputnik face lol

[@richardescobar9306]

What if the US never landed on the moon

[@JimmyaKaTheK]

I love how you two are duel running the channel

[@DirtMerchant693]

I think the Russians should've won, no bias

[@dariuzthemacaroni1308]

why?

[@cy8491]

Darius the brony look at his name

[@striped_sponge7187]

Darius the brony First achievements to go to space. First man, animal, satellite, and rocket. All what America did was have some help from a German Scientist Wernher Von Braun. And other Astro physicists. Russia had it's own men creating its own rockets.

[@imperatorodaenathus9329]

But look at it like an actual 100m race. The First Satellite is the 10m line, the first animal is the 25, the first person is the 50, the first orbit is the 75, and the Moon is the finish line. Just because the USSR was winning at 50m doesn't mean they would win the race.

[@videogamer596]

Romeball, then why isn't the first space station the finish line? It's a matter of shifting goalposts and arbitrary finishlines.

Saying that while the First Man in Space was a Cosmonaut.

There are no astronauts, they all have to beg rides from the Russians.

[@iliashevtsov1351]

explain me pls what's the benefit of landing on the moon?we use sputniks today and space station too, but not moon base.so did USSR actually won a race?I'm not interested in politic, just thoughts.

[@ilmevavi1112]

Илья Шевцов the ponit of the race was to show who had the bigest dick. when the only objective is to out do the other nation, who did what first is completely irrelevant. when one nation can't either out do or replicate the biggest acchiement of the other, the race ends. and sputniks are not even in the orbit anymore same goes for any space station built back then.

[@masterarthius8752]

In other words, Soviets won.

[@potatofuryy]

The sovjets DID reach the moon first with their luna missions.... And they had very little funding for the manned moon mission.

The funny thing is that German scientists were in a key role on both sides.
