From my perspective nobody won the space race as I can't go to Kepler-62e yet therefore the race didn't end but both sides simply got tired and gave up.
We never left Earth's orbit, I will only consider the space race done when we find a efficient way of deep space travel. Be that warp drives or something else.
We should sit our butts on Earth until we find a way for that. :P
Well, you miss some points.
The communication is possible because these particles can reach the speed of light [c].
For mankind it is nearly impossible to reach this level of c, as - if you have it - you have nearly no control of an airship anymore.
Furthermore, the needed energy to come to the speed c is more than mankind has created, as as ship as calculated around a km of length to provide the needed systems, aswell as a 2-3m thick "stone" wall because of the radiation emitted from the stars, people need the protection because it would cause major harm on e.g. the dna. Aswell as the nearest planet is some lightyears away, so sending people to this planet means no return for them.
Wtf are talking about? Who mentioned speed of light? And wtf communication has to do with speed of light? Stop trolling!
The guy said mankind won't leave our solar system. I said that's BS. No one ever mentioned c. You can't possibly know what new weird way of transportation will be invented in the future...
History of our technological advancement should have thought us that nothing is impossible, we just need to wait for a new Tesla...
Well, out of our solar system there is nearly -nothing- we could visit. The nearest planet or something is some light years away.
The speed of light is the speed our radar etc. systems nearly have, as they are quants (dont know if the english term is correct), little particles who fly at the speed approximatley to c (speed of light).
Although -nothing- can go above the speed of light c.
Nothing ever discovered nor seen can get above this speed limit.
So to travel to other planets you need to be fast, so, nearly as fast as light to get to planets far away (because there is simply nothing outside). Thats why you need c. And well, you simply first have to get to know how to store energy effeciently and how to get energy in outer space.
And no, I am not trolling.
If you would be able to understand German I would give you a link to a well-respected German Physicist who made a presentation about this topic and explained what I have written above.
I understand all that but those are all today's facts. What is possible now wasn't possible 100 years ago. I'm only saying that mankind will surely find some weird way of transportation that not necessarily will have anything to do with actual speed...
Don't forget, the Russians were also the first to cause the Kessler effect by firing a missile at one of their satellites. Legit. I saw it at the movies.
Mother Russia make us comrades proud.

the next space race should be about landing on Mars and mining asteroids
and Gundams, lots of Gundams.

It is mostly impossible for mankind to reach planets out of our solar system.
********, nothing is impossible.
Exactly. Nothing is impossible, just incredibly hard.
But hey, the fun lies in the challenge. :D
Impossible? That's what they told that bloke who said people will find a way to instantly communicate from different parts of the planet.
Apparently they were right...

A race?
Sorry, I've yet to see any soviet or US astronauts sprint a hundred metres (yards, if you're American) in space against one another.

Youtu.be ohhh my :O
