Um, I don't want to rain on the parade here, but we aren't the only nation to send men to the moon.
Forgive my confusion, but no other nation has landed on the moon. Not the Soviets/Russians or the Chinese.
Who here would think the old USSR wasn't a sick society? Yet look at all they accomplished. Also, they were darned near the end of us all. Accomplishments and sacrifice do not a great nation make.
Some of their accomplishments include millions of their own citizens killed in purges, frequent crop failures and famines. Their economy was so out of whack that they couldn't even manage any industry other than labor intensive heavy industry. Their military was impressive until the mid to late 1980's. Today it's a shell of its former self.
The true tragedy is how the leaders of the USSR raped and pillaged their country.
