And Russia just gave up instead of calling us out on it? China and India have also sent probes and landers and would love to prove that we didn't actually do it as well.
Nah Russia never actually gave up. Americans did the same thing we did with the election, claimed the race was over and declared themselves the Victor. I did a whole 12 page paper on the Soviet space race for my World History class senior year of high school.
The Soviets gave no fucks and sent a frickin dog and then a human into space with no return plan.
