Soviet: allmost every thing.
USA: moon first
Winner:USA
with partly the technology of germany of course
USSR landed first unmanned ship on the moon in 1959 beat America to the moon but didn't have the first man on the moon
The Robloxian Daily Gaming TV *Quality is more important than quantity, the moon landing beats em’ all. End of the story.*
@@alexanderveritas You wouldn't have said the same thing had the Soviet Union performed the moon landing before the US
@@alexanderveritas I'm American and I think we Americans lost
This is how fight between countries should be. Instead of killing each other, just send a guy out of the planet to another planet. So at least we could advance science without killing us.
Y'know, the Moon is not a planet...
Like
Russia; I dont like you, UE
UE: Oh? Okey then, lets fight, the first in Pluton wins
Russia; OKEY
Y'know the word "without killing" is not so right
Remember Soyuz 1 ? Remember Vladimir Komarov ?
They died in space.
Then the meaning "without killing" is... Not so right but right too
cold wars are the best wars
Nah, takes way too long
"First"
Yuri Gagarin 1961
LU profile, mad respect
I think no matter who won the space race we can all agree that the collective thinking of the 2 biggest powers in the world at the time helped us progress and made the future a tad bit brighter.
@@baptistebeziau4237 ur future is darker than i think
Yeah, maybe if Stalin didn't have to act so assertive and just extract the majority of resources from Eastern Europe, then just leave them alone, maybe NATO would not have been necessary and perhaps a Cold War wouldn't have occurred. If Stalin focused more on the repairing of the union rather than spreading the regime, they could still have accomplished Sputnik and Gagarin, but with less paranoia. Even Kennedy, at one point, wanted his nation and the USSR to be united on middle ground rather than racing to the Moon. Perhaps they could have went to the Moon together.
@@quinzerrak4975 if russia and america is besties then we wont get space race. the only reason we explored space is because of competition. they hated each other and wanted to show each other that they have better technology. if they were friends either space race wont happen or due to lack of competition, progress will be very slow. we wont reach the moon until the 80s
@@Nemenis WTF? Do you really think I know so little?! Competition is obviously what drives progression and is also kind of the heat that keeps the flame of capitalism ongoing. But in the LONG term, although the USA and USSR were polar opposites with incompatible regimes, it could still have been possible for them to find middle ground and cooperate, kind of like Apollo-Soyuz mission in 1975.
@@quinzerrak4975 but this is under the assumption that soviets survive through the 90s. They were pretty broke so even if they were friends, it would end with the soviets
My favorite moment was when yuri gagarin became the first man in space, a national hero -- and a worldwide celebrity
Lol
@Jacob Drotar ok despite me being pro American that was to far man he was a hero of space exploration
@@TheDrewgrim ah spotted a pressed american, yall still think chocolate milk comes from brown cows😂😭 shut up
Wasn’t it Neil Armstrong
@@FlameTheGHe was first on the Moon
Fun Fact: People were wondering why it was taking Armstrong so long to walk down the ladder on the moon - he was taking a piss.
It was Buzz Aldrin, the second man to walk on the moon.
Source?
Not true.
Xor rd lmao
Actually that was Edwin Aldrin who paused so long to fill his urine bag. Armstrong took awhile only because he was testing the lander's stability.My source is the astronaut himself testifying it in the epic documentary In The Shadow Of The Moon
I love how no one cares about the first person in SPACE, but everyone cares about a man on the moon. Wow.
Easy to launch a man into space, not easy to land them on another celestial body and then bring them back home safe and sound.
@@sportsnut198 If it's so easy to launch a man into space, then why is space considered the "final frontier"? Why was there a race to put a man into space? Why did the U.S. try to outdo the U.S.S.R.'s feat? If it's so easy to launch a man into space, why did it take so many years? HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmm?
@@sportsnut198 And if it's so easy to put a man in space, why did it take the U.S. 11 years after the U.S.S.R. to actually do it?

Simple History the two identcal people
History + Space = AWESOME!
CallMeCrow very true
No, space + USSR = AWESOME
Are u a teacher ?!?!?
Can you really call that a win?
Soviet Union did a lot ...
Let them think what they want
Soviets still won
*hand on heart*
@@mobilecyclop7329 yep!!! But i still i dont want to make all things too complicated >:(
yea
Soviet Union used their budget and didnt give a crap about their citizen who are experiencing poverty and inequality, while the USA used the money from their budget and tax of their working class citizens.
The entire system collapsed Soviet union is gone the failure of the space program has been considered a contributing factor communism failed and it was exposed for its failure
Not gonna lie the Soviets had better music
Nathan Smith I agree
Except on the Apollo 13 movie
Agree USSR nasional athem.
No just listen to MURICA
american one is terrible
"America had won the space race"
No, the *Soviet Union won the space race.*
Achievements:
USSR - First artificial satellite (4 October 1957)
USSR - First animal in orbit, the dog Laika (3 November 1957)
USSR - First firing of a rocket in Earth orbit (2 January 1959)
USSR - First impact into another world, that is the Moon (13 September 1959)
USSR - First plants and animals to return alive from Earth orbit (19 August 1960)
USSR - First human spaceflight with Yuri Gagarin as the first man in space (12 April 1961)
USSR - First planetary flyby (Venus) on 19 May 1961
USSR - First space walk performed by Alexei Leonov (18 March 1965)
USSR - First soft landing on another body (the Moon) and first photos from another body (3 February 1966)
USSR - First impact into another planet (Venus) on 1 March 1966
USSR - First artificial satellite around another body (the Moon) on 3 April 1966
*USA* - First human on the Moon and first space launch from a celestial body (20 July 1969)
USSR - First lunar rover (23 November 1970)
USSR - First space station (19 April 1971)
USSR - First soft Mars landing and first signals from Mars surface (2 December 1971)
In terms of relevancy, first Satellite, plant, animal, man, woman, and contact with other planets, in comparison with a person walking on the moon for 21 hours, the Soviet achievements had a larger impact on the world today.
*I'm American. We lost.*
Matter of opinion
U.S.S.R achieved more feats with a economy more closely
a person The race was getting to the moon and back, although the Soviet Union did help the exploration of space.
Horse Eem, who told you that? to moon and back? Race is a race, first to the space, simple
Миша Иванов I just replied to your comment earlier.
Haha, had to do a presentation about cold war and space race today.
Did you use the video as inspiration / in your presentation? :D
Sadly, I found your channel just today after I already presented, but seeing, that I used many of your informations too, is like being an Insider.Really nice channel mate.
trycoldman23 sad but true
trycoldman23 ii
trycoldman23 i see you everwhere
Technically the Soviets won the Space Race I mean it is called the 'Space Race' not the 'Put a man on the moon first race'.
Uh no.. The USSR quit.
Mr. Gator uh, no, the space race ended in the 75 with the apollo soyuz mission, ending the golden age of space, ans by counting every achievement soviets won(and here in europe its not even a debate,i mean its not even a debate with americans that know about space either...) why do you doubt that?
It's called a "Space race" because it was a race IN SPACE. The START of the Space Race was Sputnik. You don't win a race at the starting line!
If you have a "sailboat race," does that mean the first guy to put his boat on the water wins? Or the guy that crosses the finish line first?
bcubed72 Soviets still won by achieving more achievements than america (there was no set goal)
The Cold War was arguably the best war ever. There was only about 300 confirmed casualties, and that era led to thousands of technological advances.
Yea direct casualties sure.
Can't forget the Korean War, Vietnam, Russian invasion of Afghanistan, Invasion of Cuba.
Plus the creation of North Korea, and the Taliban....And the 3 or 4 times the world literally almost ended.
But yea, we have the internet because of all this so I'd say it's worth it!
But at the risk of MAD..
If you would read about 10 words ahead you would know I already mentioned the Taliban you silly billy.
lol cold war is not that good. you forget how the proxy war all around the globe. cuban missile crisis is very close to human extincion with nuclear war.
@@negativezero8174 Invasion of Cuba ?
So who won?
German scientists proving their technology is superior
they copied my designs.
the V-2 is just an enlarged, polished and product improved version of
my L-13 i made in 1937.
Braun even admitted it himself.
"Goddard's experiments in liquid fuel saved us years of work, and enabled us to perfect the V-2 years before it would have been possible."
-Wehner von Braun,
source page 89-92 The New Ocean: The story of the first space age
"His rockets ... may have been rather crude by present-day standards, but they blazed the trail and incorporated many features used in our most modern rockets and space vehicles"
-Wehner von Braun,

''Don't you know about your own rocket pioneer? Dr. Goddard was ahead of us all.''

Robert H. Goddard ok
+Marco PLATIN
yeah and i've got evidence of the spy's who sent the information to them too.
Gustav Guellich and Friedrich von Boetticher, they opened my mailbox and looked in my mail and even stole reports.
Friedrich von Boetticher sent a four-page report to the Abwehr in 1936
Gustav Guellich apparently was at Rosewell and saw a launch of an
A series rocket himself he also gave a large report to the Abwehr including critical information about fuel mixtures and an engine Cooling jacket.........a cooling jacket that just so happened to end up in the V-2.
sources
-Hitler's Spies: German Military Intelligence in World War II.
-Rocket Man: Robert H. Goddard and the Birth of the Space Age.
-The Game of the Foxes, Ladislas Farago, 1972,
although I have yet to find any further evidence that the Germans spied on my work the likely hood is extreme, since like the Cooling Jacket my innovative 3D gyroscopic stabilizer and Control vanes in my L series also ended up in the V-2.
You know, the US could have had a rocket program of their own if they had listened to me about value of rockets in the future, and if they did our rocket program would have been far ahead of the Germans since I was the one with the real progression and real talent.
Robert H. Goddard yes thats true!
So
First dog in space - *USSR*
First man in space - *USSR*
First woman in space - *USSR*
First orbit - *USSR*
First space station - *USSR*
First object on the moon - *USSR*
First man on the moon - *USA*
*Winner - USA*
The US lost the space race so they moved the finish line to the moon
JLirl don't forget Venera program
Going to the moon is a more impressive achievement
TheInvincible H More impressive than all the achievements that the USSR achieved. Nope
And USSR Collapse
All those USSR achievements were just for the idea of it. Not that they continued for kong. The first object on the moon was a small rocket that was made to juuuust make it there.
The first man in the space was only in it for 1 hour. Same for the first woman.
The first dog in space died as the Commies didn't want to spend what was necessary to actually complete the mission and thus the spacecraft was left to burn up.
The first orbit was outta nowhere and even then the US did a longer and better orbit.
The first space station was made after the space race ended.
"Now America Won The Space Race"
lets correct that to the moon race LOL
HighNeder Mapper it makes me cringe a bit when Americans say "we won the space race"
But russia done more
@@blazingcobra7228 putting a man is much much harder.
BlazingCobra 722 the whole race was to get the first man on the moon.... that was the goal
BlazingCobra 722 because he is an actual idiot
The Soviets absolutely did NOT lose interest in space after the US landed on the moon. The USSR kept on rolling and landed a probe on Venus in 1970 and then on Mars in 1971. They were the first country to do either of those things.
I don't know why people act like they just gave up after 1969?
The Mars missions were failures lol. The first rover crashed on landing and the second lost transmission after 20 seconds.
That's like sending a rocket with an animal inside and it crashing on the moon and saying
"Hey it's the first animal on the moons!"
Such a shame the lunar missions died down. Also, it's interesting how America claims they 'won' the space race :P Not going to deny that Apollo 11 was the greatest technological feat in the history of mankind, but they kinda kept moving the goalposts, as the Soviets consistently kept beating them with the first satellite, then the first man in space, the first spacewalk, etc. etc.
Agreed
Now it is a race to Mars
Anders Mostue yeah lol
LoZ Collector let's call it a tie, USSR got there first, USA got to moon first, and will probably be the first to Mars
Otto Von Bismark Most likely thing he will do is to cut medicare and social security. and that is a fact
so the soviets basicly won at everything but the moon landing and usa still thinks it won it only won 1 out of the many challanges that is not winning
sandro sainishvili Sir, the race was to get to the MOON and back. Yes the Soviet Union created very good tech but we beat them to the MOON.
But the Soviets won the SPACE race, not the MOON race. They were first to do everything but landing on the moon first. Boohoo
Horse then why was it called "Space" race?
American exceptionalism, even if we lost, we won! A nation of delusional puppets.
Its called space race for a reason
I love the cold war. All the cool (and sometimes crazy) engineering and friendly competition between the two most powerful countries in the world. M.A.D. was kinda scary but what's the threat of total global annihilation compared to space travel and jet trains?
The competition wasnt exactly "friendly" . But, yes

My favorite part is when we went to space

No, but it's indirectly linked to this conspiracy theory..

Nope
+Simple History
i quit, can someone find the easter egg for the community???
please give me a hint...
you miss a lot of Russian firsts like first dog in orbit first animal to orbit moon first lunar satilite first space photo first photo of the back side of the moon first and only probe on Venus fist artificial satilite to orbit mars Venus Jupiter and its moons fist parts of making the fist international
space station Mir first and only expeditionary probe on the moon fist lunar granite collected by a robot fist talking AI in orbit and still here are about 78 more that I can't remember
At least half of those events were *after* the space race-- not really the focus of the video after the moon landing to be fair :\
not half more like 15% actually after
legocar64 Up to the moon landing was the ultimate relevant thing. This isn't a video to praise the USSR for all its a achievements and it's not a video praising the US's. It's the *major* and more noticeable events making up a *brief* history.

My favorite moment was when the USSR won the space race.
Comrade Ovechkin
Let me guess you are in your early 20s and think capitalism is evil.
colonel coover I think so...
colonel coover he didn't say anything about communism or capitalism. The soviets did win by being the first country to put man in space. Literally the only victory America scored was the moon landing and even then what'd that really accomplish?
Mellow Panda well, communism is not bad at its core: it's suppose to be a society that has no rules, or leaders. But humans are horrible at achieving it. (N. Korea, China for example)
Borov going 260000 miles away from the planet and back, getting moon rocks for expirimentation
@Simple History Amazing thanks I will have a final exam about this it helped me a lot!
Best episode of Simple History so far.
USSR: first Satellite, plant, animal, man, woman, space station, lunar rover, space walk, artificial satellite around another body and etc
USA: land on a Moon (people still arguing is this a fake or not)
USA "WE won"
And hey, who say that the finishing line, is the Moon?
moon landind is really hoax. just look at years before the so called moon landing. their rocket explode many time suddenly they go to the moon. it is not logic

Neil Armstrong actually said when he landed: "One small step for *a* man, one giant leap for mankind"
Both countries got successful achivements..so I'd say they both won
More videos on space would be cool , and still awesome video here I see ^^
My favourite moment from the Space Race? Did you see those sick drifts they did on the tracks? Man, i tell you, those were hundreds of kilometers long!
America didn won the spacerace, its 3 points for the Soviet Union: first man, first women and first step in space.
Whit America having 1 point for setting first step on the moon, So i think the Soviets won this my friend.
Going to the moon is a larger achievement than where the Soviets went which was only 0.1% as far.
TheInvincible H It was called the Space Race and not the Moon Race for a reason kiddo
@@TheInvincibleH landing on venus and mars was pretty big even for back then since mars rover is still quite recent
Lol so what launching someone off the earth is easy launching someone to the moon then coming back to earth is a different level.

The first space station was made after the space race ended
Two runners start the race. One quickly rushes forward, the second after a couple of seconds begins to run after him. The gap is getting bigger and bigger. Then the second runner turns onto the sidepath, takes a ribbon from his pocket and pulls it between 2 trees. Then he calls the all the journalists to him, crosses the ribbon and shouts to the first runner that he won because finish line was here.
So you saying us faked the moon landing?
Cope
Stay mad, sore loser. The US won. That is a fact. You’re the one trying to decide what the finish line is
This is awesome, played for my students and they were very attentive.
Love that the music is the Blue Danube. Referencing 2001 A Space Odyssey. Very Clever.
2:32 I like how's the Russian has adidas poloski on his space suit
My school used this video for our space race assignment lol.
Me too
Great video love it
2:42 well that mission wasn't all a sucess, shortly after docking, Gemini 8 started to spin, then they undocked from Agena and spun more, but then the Astronauts got the spin under control and started an emergency decent, and eventually landed sucessfuly in the ocean
Just a little error at 2:00. That's the Gemini capsule, which wasn't used during the Mercury Program. Just thought I'd point that out. :)
You're Number one , Man ecks dee
my favorite moment was the fact that they were able to improve relationships and make peace with each other
same !
A lot of people think Neil Armstrong said “Thats one small step for man” when he really said “Thats one small step for a man”, the transcript shows he did say A but it was inaudible on the recording.
My dad is making us do a magazine about a decade. I got the 1950s and this video helped a lot
there’s no point in finding a winner and a loser, science has won

Horse it wasnt race anymore, its like "oh... but i can do this!!! -Oh! Thats pity, look at this!" Yeah, its like a race, but the first idea was "The first into space" USSR did it.

"America had won the space race"
dude....
No
No those fat American hamburgers cant for anything no ofence
@infections 84 no I do it's that russia is better
Diana A Soviet Union because they couldn’t make to the moon and usa came to moon and the Soviet Union just orbit the earth
Yessir like it or not we did
USA: I won the Space Race! I got a human on the Moon first!
USSR: Dude, I got all these other achievements before you.
USA: My achievement is way greater than any of yours.
USSR: Quantity has a quality of its own.
Getting the first human on the Moon was not exactly a race, since it wasn't a particularly high Soviet priority in the first place. The Soviets had a preference for unmanned missions, as they are way more economical, and had already done an unmanned Moon landing before the Apollo 11 mission. The actual added scientific gains from a manned Moon landing were probably not that great, so scientifically speaking, it's a rational use of resources not to prioritize it overly. Still, the prestige and propaganda value of the Apollo 11 mission for the USA was immense. Doing a manned moon landing would probably have been worth it for the Soviet Union simply because of that, to forestall that and thus land an effective killing blow in the Space Race, a finishing move. Except that then the USA would probably have gone for a manned Mars landing at ridiculous expense and used it to claim victory in the Space Race.
Wasn't a priority bruh didn't you read about the n1 rocket and the soyuz lk
No one cares of a female going to space we still won

The reason is the moon is farther than the part that both America and Soviet flew to so America WINS, USA USA USA!
Personally, my favorite moment during the Space Race is Apollo/Soyuz.
You have good voice Seriously And to Be honest your videos are real good but real real I really like your videos
very informational
I'm sorry, but you can't just skip from Gemini to Apollo 11. There were many other Apollos, such as Apollo 8. (which I believe is the most important Apollo) Regardless, this is a good video and sums up the space race nicely.
Actually the Soviet union won because they were first ones in space itself.
It's called the *space* race not the moon race. lol
Edit: I mean as in who put the first person in space
What about the germans

Iliya Tchernikov American drones arrived there before any other country sent any. Russia got to Venus first although
voyager
it could be worded better but he probably was referring to the voyager probes

Great stuff. My class really enjoyed the video. They all want to become astronauts now. God bless your souls.
What's interesting about the Soyuz spacecraft is how there are solar panels that come out, as if it's a space station.
My favorite part is when Neil Armstrong landed on the moon. Inspiration. :)
My favorite part was Gagarin launching into space. In Russia, there is also a movie about it and it is amazing.

My favourite part was when they landed on Venus. Some still think landing on a big rock (382,240 km away) is a greater achievement than landing on the hottest planet in the solar system (57,872,000 km away).
@@cooldudenike1788 yeah there's alot of movies of the moon landing and the space race I watched one yesterday
I wasn’t alive during the event, but my favourite moment of the space race was when London born “darth Vader” built the 4567th Death Star
Excellent music choice
i really love this video so much lol
Me: watching this cause my teacher assigned it cause of Corona
Other people: watching this cause it came into their recommended page
lol my to
My favorite part of the Space Race was sitting up all night with my mom (who died last year at 100) watching the first human beings walk on the Earth's Moon.
Good vid
I'm being nitpicky but you got to get the U.S flag facing the right way at 3:58. Other than that this channel is a very good history lesson and I finally like history!!! Keep it up :) Edit: for the flag, the stars should be pointing forward or it's a sign of retreat.
Technically, the Soviets win, it’s called the space race not “ Put a man on the moon “
The space race was a race to space exploration and the moon landings were a huge part of that
Suurree

Question: In the recording of neil going down the ladder (not buzz) how was the camera placed outside???
