    Who says otherwise? Same people who say the UK won WW2?

    The USSR put the first satellite and the first man in space. The USA was so embarrassed about losing the space race they made a huge effort to go to the moon, to save face. You could say they won the “moon race” if you like. But I don’t think anybody else was racing.
