The soviet union was the first one to go into space and had far more of the outer space firsts than the US. They also had no market incentives to begin such projects.
It's ridiculous you could even bring up the cold war without acknowledging the major scientific and engineering breakthroughs done by communist societies.

Both the US and Soviet Union basically stole rocket tech and rocket scientists from Germany after WW2. The only reason the US and soviet governments supported and funded those rocketry efforts was due to the military and intelligence benefits.
