The Russian v. USA space race’s important milestones included putting satellites, animals and people into orbit. It wasn’t just merely launching them to the edge of spacs.

The USSR didn't even bother with suborbital flights. There's a reason that there's only 3 flights to suborbital ranges that are considered manned spaceflight.
