We should have went to keplar b9-alpha and collected the data orbs from the crystal people, but no I guess they just wanted to put a flag on the moon and call it that. Millions of dollars for a flag on the moon 😔

War had a set definition, but also has many synonyms if that makes it any easier for you

Just because we never declared war doesn’t mean we weren’t at war. Would you say we haven’t been at war since WWII?

Yes. Have we been, de facto, at war, without declaring war (de jure)?

For the space race, it completely depends on where you draw the finish line. Most people agree that the US built a better space program than the Soviets, with fewer failures. It also won the race to the moon which was the most impressive milestone. First satellite and first human in orbit are very cool, though. Also only Soviets died in outer space which is a big detractor from saying they won the space race
