After a dozen or so attempts to land successfully on the moon, the Soviet Union landed an unmanned spacecraft on the moon before the US did. Both countries landed in 1966, with the Soviets landing a half year before. It's understood that the US put a lot more attention towards the bigger goal of landing a man on the moon before 1970 but in my mind, I think they should have diverted a small amount of attention from the Apollo program towards the goal of stealing bragging rights away from the Soviets. I thought of this point after watching a propagandist youtube video on India's moon lander where they gave kudos to the Luna 9 mission for being the inspiration of the India moon lander while ignoring any western involvement in the exploration of the moon including no mention of the word Apollo. https://youtu.be/v_d4GH_n9kg?si=0IrfERT33lnkr6Il
Hey all, I am doing a space travel booking agency rebrand for my grad school (ArtCenter College of Design) project, and it is a pretty new territory to me, never really thought that's even possible. And I looked through some articles and reports, found it's actually started at April 2001, and the agency that I am doing project of helped on it. Still a bit behind on my clients perspectives survey, so thought I'd try Reddit, hope it wouldn't be so odd. Anyone who can participate would be a huge help!!!!
