Also, the soviet union got to space faster. Capitalism is good enough until it creates too much waste and uses all resources. The only reason capitalism is still "nice" is that the continuous growth has not been stopped yet. However, we live on a planet with limited resources and capitalism will hit a wall soon enough. I'm not in favor of communism and gulags, but definitely free healthcare, education, true effort by government to solve climate change and wealth redistribution.

You'll be saying that when it's your wealth being redistributed? Or will you be a high-level party member, and thus immune? The soviets got to space faster, the americans got to the moon- while the soviet ship blew up on the launchpad. I'd say that's about even on the space front, if not in the americans' favour.
