Okay, it's one thing to say what if the space race never stopped, to saying let's ignore any real historical significance. Wow. Where did that come from? Maybe they should have based the real reason the space race stopped. Communist Russia was a huge failure. If they could have kept up with competition maybe the US wouldn't have been so lazy. But why do that? Hollywood will rewrite any significant American positives.

So, thinking about this, feeling it deserves a smarter response. The fact of matter is instead of a smarter show they dumbed it down compared to a more historical account. They changed history to make what happened dumber that what really happened. Like it wasn't an amazing unbelievable feat for the time, yet, somehow Russia pulled it off with no scientific or theoretical reason why. What it leads to is bases to increase the race to an advanced stage. I mean come on!, can't even come up with a movie science way the Russians went first? Something that sparks innovation? Something like revolutionary fuel, or new theories to defy gravity? No, just oopps, we need to try harder.

This is my main reason for a critical review. Not even accounting for it's inclusion of modern day social issues.
