It shows how competition entoxicates the science and all the other stuff. No sharing of informations and no really help.

So they were slower and less efficient like normal capitalistic big companies.
"our closest planetary neighbor." Incorrect. At :55 seconds in. Venus is our closest planetary neighbor. The USSR also landed a probe on the surface of Venus. Further, you could make a case that 'on average' Mecury is closer to the Earth than Mars.
@@KailamiMwiinga "friend zoned" Spot on. And for some good reasons.

I'm 59 and grew up during the US-Soviet space race. Of note is that the US/NASA always covered its space launches and missions live on TV while the Soviet missions were always a secret until/unless they were successful. If successful, the world would hear about it in the news after the fact. During the space shuttle years, the US/NASA did have numerous missions that were entirely for the Department of Defense. We knew from the news that these missions occurred, but there were no details as to the specifics of those missions. Even to this day, I don't believe that much is known to the public about those NASA/DOD missions.
Surprise, surprise, NASA did not reveal what they did on their military missions... 😂 Of course not, and maybe a lot of this stuff is still classified even today, for good reasons.
@@stscc01 I have no problem with the NASA/DOD missions being classified. The general public does not need to know any details of those missions. In 50, 75, or 100 years, we may learn the details of those missions, usually after all of the main people involved have died. For at least a couple of decades now, NASA/DOD (initially) and now (apparently) the US Space Force have been operating secret flights of the X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle. This is a vehicle that looks like a mini space shuttle, is unmanned, and is entirely remotely controlled. Google it to see photos. This spacecraft remains in space for often 1-2 years at a time. Then it returns and then goes on another mission. There has never been (to my knowledge) any credible information about the purpose of details of those missions.... only guesses.
You’re gawdamn right. The irony is that we have learned much about the Soviets space missions after the Cold War.. and still know little about ours. The Burans, the Soyuz, the RD-18-.. “built with pride in the US!”, lol
Regarding 13:20: Olympus Mons is in fact NOT the tallest mountain in the solar system. It is the tallest volcano, but the tallest mountain is actually Rheasilvia on the protoplanet Vesta, which is about 0.6 kilometers taller than Olympus Mons. Olympus Mons is 21.9km, whereas Rheasilvia is 22.5km. Rheasilvia is also technically a central crater peak, which means it is measured from the bottom of the crater floor, but since Rheasilvia covers 95% of Vesta's mean diameter, it's hard to decide whether or not it really counts.
