They have the space shuttle, the only thing faster than that was Apollo
but
that's old technology borrowed from the Germans.


The crappy V2 rockets that they rianed down on gay old England?

Well the Saturn V wasn't exactly advanced compared to a V2.


Sigh. the Saturn V was a Model A. The V2 was a model T. Both
designed in the days of slide rules, and poor metalurgy. Tube
electronics and crude plastics. Do you have anything useful to say?

They were both more or less the same.
However the Russians did have significantly more advanced rocket engines.


They built bigger engines, typical of Russian designs. Scale up
something, then everthing else needed the same.

NASA have been using the designs to make their rockets better.


Proof?
