Damn, I thought that Russian spacecraft had made it to the moon.

It did. A few years before Armstrong, a Russian spacecraft (Luna 2) crashed into the moon and another one (Luna 3) took the first pictures of it. Luna 1 was supposed to make it to the moon but never did.

Um....they don't consider the former USSR part of Europe?

Parts of it, yeah. Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Belarus, Ukraine, and part of Russia.

Those nations are part of Europe, and Georgia may be too...I dunno if it's supposed to be in Europe or Asia.
