Not a historian, but folks on The Internet have characterized the Soviet program as a series of milestones, with the US program a series of stepping stones in support of a single goal.
This makes sense with the cartoon, where the Soviets were first in basically everything except walking on the moon.
Not sure how much merit it has, but it’s kinda interesting.
Well well if it’s the first thing you do first, it’s very convenient to say it’s the winning condition.
Because you’re late or incapable of winning every single thing imaginable besides the one you declare to be the “only true race”. If this sounds racist, it’s because they are. Coincidence?

Less merit truthfully it wasn’t the single goal to put a man on the moon until it became a convenient "win condition " for Western politicians.
