America is loving badass.

[Sirrus]

This video gave me a patriotic hard-on. Stepping on another planet is a huge accomplishment in and of itself for the human race, but the fact that America did it first by themselves with reel-to-reel computers and slide rules in pure defiance and patriotic badassery over the Soviet Union is loving amazing. The next time you're feeling like this country is going to stuff, go outside at night and look at the moon and think "Yeah, we walked on that. America."

Americunt.

Nice video btw.

[Retz]

Our country was founded [expanded] by genocide.  Not very awesome.

At the end, it should have said "brought to you by AMERICA", because honestly we're the only ones that did it an succeeded. The only rocket that came close is the Soviet N1 which was launched and failed four times. The Saturn V was launched  12 times with only 1 partial failure (Apollo 13).

Why can't people look at these things as great accomplishments of Mankind, instead of the feats of one country?

Yes, I am from the United States.

It unified the nation, spurred technological research, and since we got there we could make sure the soviets didn't put any nuclear missiles on the moon. Sounds like a good deal to me.

[Pulchritude]

Hm, and which country got into space first? Yeah, I thought so. The Russians beat your asses to it.

[Welknair]

Ontopic: Yeah, we're pretty amazing. Sometimes. If you look at it the right way. It's hard to think we're so cool after Bush though...

[Pulchritude]

Russia launched the first man-made object to orbit the Earth, had the first living being in orbit, the first human spaceflight, the first spacewalk, the first automatic landing on another celestial body, and the launch of the first space station. Not to mention, they were the first in space.

Touching the moon first is a great achievement, but it doesn't make the USA the best country ever.
