Sharing photos is cool but this is pretty blatant.
This was posted yesterday. You even took the captions WORD for WORD.

#38 Sadly history won't ever give credit to Vladimir Ilyushin. The lie continues.

Russia would have nothing to lose by stating he was first to space since they were far ahead of America at the time. Also the Russians have already spoken about their own space tragedies such as the N1 rocket program, so there is no logical reason they would hide this.

I'm pretty sure, with the eye we were keeping on the Soviet Union at the time, that we'd have noticed a rocket being launched from there and flying around overhead. NORAD's entire existence was to detect such launches.

Had there been some kind of oopsie in space on the Soviet's part, you don't think the Americans wouldn't have made hay out of it? Please.

Jake

Normally I DGF about thechive just being a /r/pics from reddit repost site, because boobs, but this whole post is just lifted directly and in order from someone else's imgur account. This post was up yesterday on reddit. Lazy, lazy, lazy. Should have at least added some of your own pics or credited the imgur user that created it.
DBig

Possibly the best page on the internet.

Fred Flintstone

Troy

Goebbels now works for the Obama campaign and runs MSNBC, CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC and owns the NYT
