LOL...11 years before Sputnik, we took the first photo from space, something useful. And first man in space was ordered into space instead of a chimpanzee—sloppy, irresponsible and careless.
Biggest nuke, only after American traitors sold secrets to USSR so such a bomb is also sloppy, irresponsible and careless, the mark of a dangerous mindset. In this case bigger is not better, it's more insane.
WW2, the US supplied USSR with $180 billion of aid, 400,000 vehicles and 14,000 airplanes and THEN we invaded Nazi Germany from the West. Without us, they'd be speaking German in St. Petersburg.
Sorry, when they finally showed their "Moon landing" vehicle, it was all pipes and plumbing and no computers. We already had integrated circuits and computers on Apollo. Recently at a robotics fair, Russia showed up with a cool robot. Turned out to be a guy in a suit. LMFAO. Dude, this is the actual future, not the pretend one.
But, to be fair, Russia/USSR gave us Periodic Table of Elements, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Tchaikovsky, Chekov, awesome ballet and more. Unfortunately, those are being spoiled by the new War Criminal, genocidal RuZZia without a higher purpose. Tragic.
