n0wak Posted April 4, 2006 Hmm I had no idea that the russians were there first.. Not only that, but they were also first on Venus and the moon (intact, at least). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salka Posted April 5, 2006 no no no, I'm quite sure that Americans were first to the moon... the reason you don't know Russians were in space first, is because the Americans outdid them by landing on the moon and then nobody cared about the russian space mission. I think. Maybe I'm wrong though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marek Posted April 5, 2006 Ooh! Ooh! I did a 10-page essay on this stuff in high school! As far as I recall, the Russians technically got on the moon first. But only by crashing into it with an unmanned spaceship. The yankees actually thought it was a manned craft so the whole thing was thought to be a really close race, but then it turned out the ruskies weren't nearly as close as they'd thought.

miffy495 Posted April 5, 2006 Nah, he just smashed a monolith into it. Much like the russians, but with more crazy monkeys killing each other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LUNA 9 DAMNIT. Why must you forget about Luna 9!? http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap970907.html First soft landing on an extraterrestrial body. Here's a list of many many lunar (failures)missions. http://ares.jsc.nasa.gov/HumanExplore/Exploration/EXLibrary/docs/facts/LSumm1.htm I also wrote a paper on space exploration, though I think mine was in grade school.
