Glad people are learning this now, grew up hearing about what a great nation it was but all I saw was cheap knockoffs of everything.

I never met Sergei Korolev, he died before I was born. The fact remains he was Ukrainian, born in Zhytomyr about 140 km west of Kyiv. Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union, but Ukraine was not part of Russia. Being Ukrainian when Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union does not make someone Russian.

You guys know that Atlas V rockets were using Russian engine as they are still probably the best rocket engines around. It seems to me that everyone is falling to west propaganda. Russia has an economy the size of Italy, and they are still quite a powerhouse in space and military technologies.

You clearly don't know what you talking about, just acting out of propaganda fueled fanboyism. Please read what Musk himself says about Russian Engines. Raptor engines are supposedly better, but still not operational.
