    What a way to take a quote out of context, the CCCP said they didn’t consider themselves to be in the Space Race because they didn’t even consider America a competitor with how behind the US space program was. The Soviets were photographing Saturn and sending men into orbit before the US could even get a monkey off the ground without blowing it up.
