Race to the moon .Though indeed a technological advance. After years (or maybe centuries) when we start to land and colonize other planets ,no one will even remmember the "moon landing" (since for instance the landing on Mars will surpass the achievment of landing on the moon) but the first space craft and the first man in space is iconic of human achievements thats wort remembering.Its like sending the first plane in to flight every one knows that but do eny one remmember the first ...
@BGSlopy city to city flight or the first intercontinental flight (probably) but its is not as significant as the first man to fly now is it .As for scientific benefits i think sending a man to the moon has little scientific value if you can send probes there that can do the same job.After the USSR lost the race t the moon they focused on creating a series of space stations that payed much greather scientific role whit the ability sustain of long term acomudation in space and zero G experiments.
"There's a dance that you all should know It's the swingingest thing that has hit the floor First you put your foot out And then you slowly bring it back And then you put your little hand on your partner's back Well, come on, baby Do the Sputnik Well, you can do this dance And it's so slick Well, you can learn to do it Almost right away It's a swingin' dance that is here to stay Come on, don't deny it You can learn it if you try it Come, come on baby Do the Sputnik"
There is something new in politics, just as there was something new during the beginning of the space age. The Soviet Union created "Sputnik" just as they have manufactured the world's first "Manchurian Candidate" Obama.
