well, US didn't win anything (= lost it all to CCCP) in "space race", apart from sending manned mission to moon, in which it was alone in the "race" :) (to be fair, that was much harder than just shooting 1 guy to orbit few hundred kms above). but try to sell that loss to general US public desperate to feel superior and "winning" in sixties, hence the current "opinion", aka self-lie regardless of facts.

Your post is hilarious -- the USSR didn't lose because it didn't try, but the US lost because it didn't try. Do you see the amusing double-speak whereby the Russians are excused from "losing", but the Americans are not? >aka self-lie regardless of facts. No different than your protection of the Russian public's desperation to not feel inferior to the capitalist West, causing them to "not even try to compete".
