    I get where they’re coming from

    I went to a space cadet camp at the Kennedy Space Centre. Considering I’m not American, Florida was a bit of a change for me

    It was really odd how much they glossed over how they managed to do things, and instead focused on what they did instead

    One good example of this was when the USA made these new engines for a rocket, and they tried to really underline how much of a scientific breakthrough they were, all while never actually saying what they did differently. Similarly, every time they brought up Russia it was always about how they were a step behind, slapping on a bunch of rockets to compensate for the fact that they had worse machinery

    Of course, they never brought up how Russia was basically in front for the entire race until the US moved the goalposts, as shown in this meme

    So yeah that’s my experience on how this is taught in America
