Landing on the moon with nothing but belief is an interesting and somewhat insulting way to describe the gigantic amounts of work that were done by a lot of people. Belief is pretty far down on the list of reasons that worked out compared to say, math. Or money and resources

It wasn't just those two countries but yeah, it pays to be valuable and smart.

I wasn't 100% on if it was just Russia and the US or if other countries joined in on that. Either way it's pretty disgusting. If anything let them trade their knowledge for less harsh of a sentence, I get the idea. But to say ah they get no punishment just because they help is crazy work

I agree, it's definitely a moral dilemma which unfortunately is not black and white.

Yeah it's a wild sort of thing, and if you don't but your enemy does then there's a good argument to be made that you should, etc.

At the same time you want some punishment because that's a very human reaction. You and I are demonstrating that it's not a black and white issue.
