Why has the Russian space program been much more successful then the American space program? It seemed like the American space program was aimed at prestige like putting a man on the moon and the Russian space program was to more about reliability. For instance launching people with a soyuz capsule from 1967 till this day. Were the budgets bigger in the sovjet union? Was capitalism driving innovation to a standstill because of costs? What was it that caused the Russians to be so much more successful?
