Im just curious what inventions came out of that Russian space program? Theirs was solely a military and propoganda venture against capitalist society. Lots of good inventions came out of NASA, not just Tang. The technology for medical imaging came from them for example.

When NASA was given the task of what the astronauts would write with in
space, spent millions of dollars to come up with the ball point pen. While
in Russia given the same question replied was ah we'll use a pencil.
