But...
...you're opposing American's "waving their flag"...
...by waving the Soviet Union's flag.
I called their country a corrupt shit hole of a country. So much for flag waving. There´s precious little for the Soviet Union to be proud of. I just think they deserve credit for the few things they actually got right.
I don't care about flags. I do care about facts. And the fact is that the US space program was by no means inferior to that of the Soviets. The Soviets made many great advances, yes. So did the Americans. And yes, the Americans had many great failures. So too did the Soviets. And us Europeans and the Japanese have had some amazing successes (and failures) too, in more recent times.
Good that we agree. I never claimed the USSR didn´t have plenty of failures. They were just better than the Americans when it comes to space.
