The Soviets indeed had plans to go to the moon but after they were beat there was no point to going.[/b]

Maybe the Concorde should have been scrapped once the Tu-144 flew because the Concorde wouldn't be the "first" anymore.

The Soviet moon project was cancelled well after America landed on the moon.

The main reason Soviets didn't land a man on the moon because the rocket which was supposed to carry cosmonauts to the moon exploded each time it was test fired.
