Yes, the Soviets had the early lead (first in orbit, first man, first
three-man capsule, first space-walk) but by 1965 we were passing them
handily.  We had the first rendezvous, first orbital docking, and
eventually first man on the Moon.

Not the most regular of posters, second only to ren.

Of course it didn't that the Russian moon booster, the N-1, was a
kludge that kept blowing up...

Did I say no blame.
