let me use an analogy from software development. the soviets wrote all the foundational code libraries, and the american forked those libraries to build a shiny web application

Well with the only diference that they both used closed source code. So both of them were on their own.

they both used closed source code

it's not so clear cut as that

USA/USSR(later RF)/PRC have all collaborated on space science, both during and after the 1945-1991 cold war.

Well then even better! Humanity achived all of that by mutual colaboration!! How great!!

Science has no political views still in the cold war! Cool.

The point is that national chauvinism in the US touts the moon landing as the ultimate victory, and that glosses over the accomplishments of the USSR, keeping people here ignorant of the potential of alternative political-economic systems, allowing propaganda to get away with lies like "communism means no innovation"

But you're obviously not ignorant of that, you posted "COPIUM" just to be an ass
