You're exaggerating :) underwear wasn't that problematic to find in early-1960s USSR.
As for spending billions on vanity project, the manned flights have reasons other than political. Check here - http://www.lettersofnote.com/2012/08/why-explore-space.html http://www.lettersofnote.com/2012/08/why-explore-space.html .
- Fins 8y agoDecent underwear was not that easy to find even in the 80's. There certainly are reasons for space exploration. In a country where a year after Gagarin's flight army shot unarmed civilians who were demonstrating asking government to give them some food, it is far harder to justify.
