talking with a friend, we just noticed one thing
a lot of USA "old achievements" came form stuff they don't really made.
Like, the light bulb hat was a thing that someone else created, but all credit went to Thomas Edson, that "just" made a big improvement of it, if you look for the history you can see all this info, but as I remind seeing american cartoons, they teach that just like he did everything lol .
Other this was the Wright brothers, that USA gives all te credit for the aviation stuff, the truth is that they just had an airplane that could fly with external propulsion, while Santos Dumont make one that could get out the floor by itself, was documented and televised... them they come " we did it first lol, that nobody saw before, showed something without this important feature and get all te credit xD
And then, nobody knew about going to space actually, but just afer someone on the " rival countries" did something , they sudden come going to the moon with less technology than a snes? Not that I don't believe this at all, but today, with more technology we don't have more photos or televised records of new expeditions, online lives or even being more accessible to everybody doing it ...
I mean , light bulbs and plane aren't there for everyone on the start, production where limited, wasn't cheap , but stuff evolved, made it very common, very more accessible and safe, today we have lighbulbs that cost almost nothing and light forever, planes are safer and technically more accessible, but going to the moon we don't have any more "popular" , even the other times people went there , where's more photos or videos? are they even still going there to explore today ? why we know less of what are going today than the first time they went there ?
