    similar to how the USSR was constantly made to look more technologically advanced

    You mean like how they beat the US to every milestone except actually putting a footprint on the damn moon? Russia was always ahead until they ran out of budget. All the US did was quietly admit defeat, hire the designer of the V2 rocket (of nazi germany weapons designer fame) to re-create his rocket for a moon landing and then the US brag like they achieved it.
