Yes the USSR was the first into space but that is because of the space race. Here's a little history: 1) USSR launches Sputnic the first man made satallite 2) USSR launches Mir the first space station 3) USSR dies Why because �communism doesn't work�. In order to develop interstellar travel you have to be around long enough to develop it. What's the saying? Oh ya case IN point, Jesse
