An American achievement. It was the fruit of American money, engineering, manufacturing, organization, and ambition. What was Ghana’s contribution? Argentina? Bueller? Bueller?

Aside from a few patches of ground leased to NASA by Australia, the Canary Islands and Spain (IIRC) for land-based tracking stations, the rest of the world watched *our* accomplishment.

Oh, speaking of those tracking stations - look for a movie called "The Dish" from around 2000-2001. Very enjoyable.
