The Russians used their captured WW2 German technology more effectively than did the US in the early years of the space race. Their Germans beat our Germans because a bunch of morons directing US space policy didn't want to use the German rocket team designed rockets but instead used the Vanguaud which blew up on the launch pad. It wasn't until Von Brauns rocket team were allowed to do their thing that we were able to get into space and to the Moon. As a thanks they deported Arthur Rudolph.

@OBSysteme One good example of this would be the millions of Dollars the US invested in designing a pen which would work in the zero-gravity of space. The USSR just used a pencil :)

What did they use Sputnik fore?

@ConsciousAtoms is this the guy that does forensic files?? lol

@AroundSun Depends what you mean by "in space". This was the first man-made thing in orbit. An early V-2 rocket test, from Germany during WW2, was the first man-made object that flew (fbriefly) out of the earth's atmosphere.
-
@Mad69sur That was one of its reasons, but not the only one. Simple telemetry signals (IIRC, the temperature inside the spacecraft) were encoded in the beeps.
-
What for was the radio signal? just to show the world it was truly up there?
-
@AroundSun yeah it is
-
@Krazycat2579 Is this the first thing in space ever?

@327372
To be honest, I think the Russians have a better space program than the US has. It's high quality and while it may be using older technology for operations, the Soyuz is very reliable as opposed to the Space Shuttle

indeed...its amazing how advanced the russians were compared to USA. soviets were very smart, as their strategy of scaring USA into spending billions into a space program worked effectively.
