Space shuttles? The USA made 6 space shuttles. Two of them (1/3) have exploded and killed off all their crews. It doesn't sound good enough even for a 3rd-world technology, isn't it?

There was a German Moon program. Von Braun and his Nazi guys did it. Now he's dead and there is no Moon for the States anymore. Your modern super-puper rockets explode in 50% of cases. Admit it already.

I didn't say that. I've just mentioned a well-known fact: the USA have no reliable rocket technologies and they have to use the Russian ones.

A first creature in space was a dog. Not some American guy, and not a Russian one. It was a dog. Does it mean that dogs won the space race? The same can be applied to Americans. Von Braun and his Nazi crew just used Americans to see if they will survive on the Moon or not. It's just like Soviets were using dogs in their experiments. Dogs were always first and humans were second.
