Science and Diplo wins take the exact same number of techs.
While the Diplo path techs take less beakers (and research labs are on the tech path), great scientists/rationalism/oxford mean the last techs are popped so it takes the exact same # of turns to get there.
The hold-up: UN takes twice as much production to build compared to Apollo Project. In addition, you must wait 10 turns for diplo voting, while it can take 1/2 that time to build the spaceship parts.
Summary: diplo win is longer than science win!
Here is my first Diplo win on MP (197 turns), which I did for fun cuz the science win would have been about 10 turns quicker. A human stayed until the end, with the other human quitting when the outcome was obvious.
I filled out Liberty, Tradition, Rationalism and Freedom completely before the win.
Over 1000 science, over 500 culture per turn.
Kremlin + Freedom is CRAZY, my capital was 150+ strength.
