Best Answer

The United States, because the technology of NASA allowed the Apollo missions to reach the Moon between 1969 and 1972.

The Soviets managed to bring back samples with a robot probe, but it was too little, too late. The weakening in the Soviet economy led to a reduction in space activities, although they continued the Soyuz manned program in support of their Salyut and Mir space stations in the 1970s and 1980s.
