Again we are not talking about Moon race.

I am not a "US Patriot". I am more like a history buff, and surely a World War II history buff.
You give me a link to Wikipedia about "outer space" and yet when I give you a link to Wikipedia about the Space Race, you claim it was written by a "US Patriot". The Soviet Union led the way into space with the first satellite into space and the first man into outer space. In fact, the Soviet Union had a lot more firsts in outer space which you fail to mention. But after it's original successes, the Soviet Union floundered. No matter how much the Soviet Union tried it could not put a man on the moon. The Soviets gave up in 1970 after the Americans put men on the moon twice.
But the space race didn't end there - The US continued to put men on the moon, and then continued going into outer space with the Space Shuttle. The Soviets tried to copy that, but that didn't work out too well either.
While you and I bicker like school children about this, the truth is the majority of our rocket technologies for both the US and the Soviets truthfully came from Nazi Germany.
