(am I the first to tell him? - I guess so!)
THEY BEAT US!
WOOT!
Yuri Gagarin was the first human in space. Dogs and chimps beat him, too. Does this mean that animals pwn humans, like atheists pwn Christians?

What the heck has religion got to do with it? Besides, if I recall rightly Yuri Gagarin, the Russian Cosmonaut, was the first man in space, much to US chagrin. We finally were able to pip the Russians by putting the first man on the Moon.
Science got Man into space, not any particular religious belief system.

They beat us at getting a man into space, dude.
Also, this is a Christian nation? George Washington and John Adams would beg to differ.
"The United States is in no way founded upon the Christian religion."
--George Washington & John Adams, in a diplomatic message to Malta.

The USA is not a Christian nation. It is a FREE nation. You are FREE to be any religion..on none. The Russians led the space race for a long time..There is no connection. but I think you knew that!

Uhhh, NASA begs to differ. First man in space was one of those Russian Reds. Looks like God loves them too!

The Atheist Russians beat us to space with Sputnik. I don't think religion plays any role in such things.

Werner von Braun was an outspoken Christian influence on the NASA space program.
I don't know, although he was the brains behind it.

There is a far greater percentage of Atheists at NASA than in the Catholic Church. Yet it was NASA that landed on the moon and not the Vatican.

Consider this,
1st to develop atomic bomb
1st to develop atomic energy
1st to be able to feed its population entirely on its own
The county with the most IMPORTANT patents in the world/
The country with some of the most world respected leaders ever, Such as Lincoln, Washington, King.
God has blessed this country more than any other ever. And what thanks did he get? None.
