Even Soviet patriots underestimate the greatness and might of the USSR. Soviet space is too tough for them

This patriotic motivator prompted me to think about it:

In the photo, a Soviet soldier who returned home from the war hugs his son. The house is destroyed, the son has no shoes, and all the property of the soldier is in one duffel bag. And below the signature - "Through 16 years the Soviet people will conquer space."

In 1961, 16 years after the Victory, the first man flew into space.

But this is not conquest at all. This is a continuation of the conquest. The next stage. And this conquest continued and continues now. The conquest of space took place as much as 4 years earlier in 1957. Then the Soviet people launched the first artificial earth satellite.

So, the Soviet people will conquer space not in 16 years, but in 12 years. The difference of 4 years is a very, very, very VERY long time. It's not 25% earlier. The difference of 4 years should be compared to the difference in fractions of a second when setting a world record in running, for example, or with every centimeter in high or long jump. Every fraction of a second or centimeter is worth several years of training for an athlete, coach, and the whole team. And here it is not just one person who goes to the world record, but the whole country. Almost 200 million people at once !!! Moreover, the record is not ordinary, but the most significant in the history of mankind. Nothing like this will ever happen again.

So, the conquest of space did not take place 16 years after the war, but 12 years later. 4 years before Gagarin's flight, there were still many giant steps of the Soviet space high-tech, with the scale of which modern computer high-tech cannot be compared.

12 years after the most destructive war in human history, the most destroyed country is conquering space. The first artificial Earth satellite was launched. The Soviet rocket accelerated it to the first space speed, which is almost 30 times higher than the speed of modern passenger aircraft.

But that's not all.

13.5 years after Victory, 2.5 years before Gagarin's flight, on January 2, 1959, the Vostok-L launch vehicle was launched, which brought the Luna-1 Automatic Interplanetary Station onto the flight path to the Moon. Luna 1 became the world's first spacecraft that reached the second space velocity, overcame the gravity of the Earth and became an artificial satellite of the Sun. But, and that's not all.

14 years after Victory, almost 2 years before Gagarin's flight, on September 14, 1959, the Luna-2 station for the first time in the world reached lunar surface … A pennant with the coat of arms of the USSR was delivered to the lunar surface.

But, and that's not all.

On October 4, 1959, almost a year and a half before Gagarin's flight, the Luna-3 spacecraft was launched and for the first time in the world photographed the side of the moon invisible from Earth … Also during the flight for the first time in the world, a gravity assist was carried out in practice. The resulting images provided the Soviet Union with priority in naming objects on the lunar surface, craters Giordano Bruno, Jules Verne, Hertz, Kurchatov, Lobachevsky, Maxwell, Mendeleev, Pasteur, Popov, Sklodowska-Curie, Tzu Chun-Zhi and Edison, the lunar Sea appeared on the map Moscow. Once again, the USSR's primacy in the space race was demonstrated. But, and that's not all.

2 months before Gagarin's flight, on February 12, 1961, at 5 hours 9 minutes Moscow time, an automatic interplanetary station "Venera-1" (product 1VA No. 2). Then, with the help of the upper stage, the Venera-1 spacecraft was transferred to the flight path to the planet Venus. V the first in the world, a spacecraft was launched from near-earth orbit to another planet. The spent upper stage retained the name "heavy satellite 02" ("Sputnik-8"). From the Venera-1 station, data from measurements of the parameters of the solar wind and cosmic rays in the vicinity of the Earth, as well as at a distance of 1.9 million kilometers from the Earth, were transmitted. After the discovery of the solar wind by the Luna-1 station, the Venera-1 station confirmed the presence of solar wind plasma in interplanetary space. The last communication session with "Venus-1" took place on February 19, 1961. After 7 days, when the station was at a distance of about 2 million kilometers from the Earth, contact with the Venera-1 station was lost. On May 19 and 20, 1961, the Venera-1 spacecraft passed at a distance of approximately 100,000 km from the planet Venus and entered a heliocentric orbit. It was the first spacecraft designed for planetary exploration. For the first time, the technique of orientation along the three axes of the spacecraft along the Sun and the Canopus star was applied. For the first time a parabolic antenna was used to transmit telemetry information. In general, until those "16 years later" not only space was conquered, the Moon and Venus were conquered. So even Soviet patriots underestimate the power and greatness of the Soviet Union. Millions of Soviet people were born and raised before there were cars, planes, radios, televisions, telephones, etc. And during their lifetime they caught the flight of a Soviet robot to the planet Venus. Few people understand that the USSR is not just a great country on Earth, it is a representative of the Earth in the universe. It must be assessed not by limited earthly standards, but by unlimited universal

If a developed alien civilization exists and observes our civilization, then, from its point of view, only the USSR existed on Earth. Or at least the Soviet Union was the "capital" of the Earth.

(And the fact that they exist and observe there is serious evidence collected here and here But, now we are not talking about that) Although, according to Hollywood, aliens see the Earth differently. They always land in the USA:

Werner von Braun

Here we must take into account that all this could have happened 20 years earlier. The constant threat of an attack on the USSR forced the Soviet people to develop the military industry instead of the space industry. In addition to simply material and technical constraints, a much greater inhibition of space exploration did the fact that many talented scientists for decades had to invest their brains not in space, but, again, in the military.

And, even a big blow to Soviet space was inflicted by the war. Simply, thousands of failed space scientists died.

The United States did not have all these hindrances. Moreover, the Americans lured away the best German rocket designer Wernher von Braun. And even with him they could not get around the Russians. Although the Soviet missiles were based on the ideas and developments of Von Braun.

Americans do not have that spirit. Primitive thinking and down-to-earthness. Focus on bubble, not spiritual.

Moreover, in those days in the United States they still could not decide - are blacks people or monkeys?

Racial segregation was abolished by law in 1964. There were still black and white establishments.

I looked at Wikipedia and here's what I read about what the Americans lived in 1961, in the year of the first SOvestsky man in space and the first Soviet robot near Venus:

In 1961, in Albany, Georgia, local blacks began a campaign to desegregate public spaces. Martin Luther King, King, came to the aid of local activists and organized peaceful protests. In response, the city authorities resorted to mass arrests, parks, libraries were closed and buses stopped to maintain segregation. About 5% of the city's black population has been in prison. The Albany campaign was unsuccessful.

The Soviet Union is already on Mars and Venus, and the Americans are still delving into the anthropology of blacks and whites. What kind of space is there? As they say, I would not live to be fat. Savages!

Why did the Soviet Union rush forward so much? Because the cult of knowledge, science, generosity was cultivated, equal opportunities in a scientific career for all due to free education, etc. After the revolution, Jewish brains, of which there were many in the space program, also joined the infinitely talented Russian people. The tsarist regime, for example, infringed on the rights and humiliated the Jews.

And what is even more important is that the Soviet country is a country of romantics. The most difficult thing was not the technical implementation of the tasks set by the Party, but … the very desire and determination of the Party to set a task that was insane in its impracticability. But the task is great. The grandeur of the task for the communists outweighs the difficulty of accomplishing it.

This conquest of space took place 12 years later. And the decision to conquer was much earlier. When the war had just died down, the whole huge country was in ruins. It's as if a simple bum from Honduras decided to decide to become the king of England in 5 years.

*** Only the power of the great European Bandero-ucropia can be compared with the power of the Soviet Union. But until recently, in the interim Euromaidan, the curses of the Muscovites prevented the Bandera's national identity from emerging. What great embroidered shirts! And the power of traditional pictures with gliders on fences is unparalleled in history! Correctly, their verse says, "You are great, we are great."

• Resonant victories of the Ukrainian army over the Russian! Bender is resurrected! Glory to Ukraine! Hto not jump that Moskal! Moskalyaku to Gilyaka!
• The great ancient European people dry poop for heating instead of unnecessary coal from the downbass

Yes, if the brutal Putin had not dropped atomic bombs twice on the great European cyborgs, the Banderas would have already been in Lugansk!
