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
Checks out how America was the single factor that allowed WWII to start favouring the winning parties in Europe theatre.
Cue to the stereotypes that you only hear if you speak English: France surrenders at a mosquito’s notice, USSR could only fight because Americans leased tanks starting from 1941, and everybody else was just dumb.
I get where they’re coming from
