    I don’t see how the failed state of the USSR is noteworthy when talking about historic space missions. The USSR might have collapsed but they had a lot of space successes. First human in space, for instance.

      More or less that the idea of how the country that got Humans into space first eventually collapsed, but “modern capitalism solves all problems” can’t do the same tasks as well was 1950’s USSR, and that’s coming from someone who doesn’t like the USSR in general.
