Why did they care about the Russians stealing the Mars design but not the stolen Buran shuttle plans?

In season 2 Margo finds out from General Bradford that the Russians stole the Americans’ plans for a shuttle (with the o ring). Margo later gives the Russians plans for the engines for the craft thatll travel to Mars.

Given that when they find out about the copied Mars engines it’s all shock and oh my god someone has given them the plans, why was there not a bigger deal made about how the Russians got the plans for the shuttle earlier on? Surely someone at NASA had to be involved in that as well? But it’s not really mentioned again. Couldn’t Margo have made out like whatever happened with those plans also happened with these ones, like they were stolen somehow?

Just rewatching and got to the >!first encounter between Ed and a cosmonaut on the moon!<. It just struck me how with their round heads and bulky bodies, astronauts look so cute, like such cute little creatures it would be difficult to get violent. I like to think this is why >!Ed stepped aside and let the cosmonaut go,!< with the visor down they’re just these clumsy little bobble heads springing around.
