First to put a rocket into space, a satellite into space, first to put a dog into space, a man into space, a woman into space, a man to perform a space walk etc etc.

Being first into space and being first to put people into space clearly constitutes winning the space race.


Unless you've read history and realise that the space race went on for a bit longer than that and was won by the USA when Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon. I've already seen you argue against established facts with other posters on this thread. You're doing it again.

If it comes down to it the space race was won by Germans. Former scientists from Peenemunde were either lured to The US by promises of wealth or kidnapped by the ghastly red bastards who threatened to send their children to the Gulag if they didn't comply. They provided the intellectual impetus behind both the American and Soviet achievement.

An idea isn't responsible for those who believe in it.

Whatever the nationality of the vehicles, they broke down because of a lack of spare parts caused by the American embargo. Therefore, it's capitalism that was responsible for the problems with the Cuban economy and not communism

Ah right, not being able to have a mobile phone for years, limiting access to internet, breaking up families when one moves away and can't come back, not having spare parts to fix your feckin jeep and god knows what else.....

That sure showed those Americans.

Not having a mobile phone, how awful. Limited internet access, surely the end of civilisation as we know it

Well yeah, it would be if mobiles and the internet suddenly disappeared. Humans have forgotten how to live without those 2 things. It would cause chaos

- "30% of the Cuban population obtains access through wifi hotspots the government has installed at parks and other public spaces in some cities. Only two provinces – Havana and Pinar del Río – have wifi available in all its municipalities, but the cost of $2 per hour to obtain access remains high in a country where the average monthly salary is about $26."

So in a country where the majority of people can't access the Internet, and the ones that can have access to a very censored internet, your response is "oh well"?

Not your finest hour.

Had he actually though? Some would say that it is believed that they filmed the whole thing in Mosckywood studios. It was one of the last films ever directed by Stalin and if you look closely, some would say that one of the constellations just above Orion's Belt forms a perfect likeness of his face.

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.
