"He needs to remember that, uh, what happened back then with the communist U.S.S.R. and their victory in that race to space,"It is true that the Russians beat us into space and also put the first man in orbit but the real "race to space" was the race to the Moon and the entire world knew about that.
Palin then compounds her error with this whopper:
"Yeah, they won but they also incurred so much debt at the time that it resulted in the inevitable collapse of the Soviet Union,"This is not only wrong, it also contradicts the wingnut claim that Ronald Reagan won the Cold War because he had us militarily outspend the USSR.
