I get your point but I don't think you've ever been a world leader in any of these things.

I really love the comparison of the "space race" firsts. As someone indoctrinated in the US school system I was brainwashed into believing we did everything first, but to find out all we did first was land a person on the moon and then claim total victory is very American of us to do... It's laughable. Russia did basically everything space related first.
