NASA's Red trophy (shortened edition) by ElijahBooth2007

In a different universe where the Americans landed on the moon first. the Soviets continue to work towards the red planet before the Americans get there too, in the vast attempt to reach the red planet before eachother which leads to a boom in space interest with the general public. This causes NASA's budget to go higher than anytime before so NASA could make their weird and wild rockets that stayed on paper in our world, which causes downfall and uprising across the globe... maybe it would've been better that it didn't happen after all.
