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.

I would suspect that many of our inventions were the same things that they invented. Even though there was always a lot of espionage going on, there were also many things that were logically developed in parallel.
