In the 1960's the USSR was in a race with the US to get to the moon. Even though the US was late in starting, it had some advantages such as throttleable liquid fuel engines, guidance systems, Werner Von Braun, more advanced solid-state electronics, and LOTS MORE MONEY. That made all the difference. Getting there second seemed pointless, and the US has shared its scientific data worldwide. The USSR chose to put it money and talent elsewhere. The USSR may still beat the US to landing humans on Mars.
