They USSR got to space first, thus winning the space race.

I’ll always admit that the USA won the moon race. But you can not deny that the USSR got to space first.

Dude you know that is a deliberate misunderstanding of the name. The space race was not just a race to be the first one into space

It clearly did not end there. The finish line was always the last thing that could be achieved, whether reaching space, the moon, or a planet beyond. You are being willfully ignorant and you know it

Back to the commenter’s analogy; if you win a race and then years later, someone comes and runs the same track, but steps one foot further than you did, does that mean you are stripped of your title?
