Why do the Russians have a better space program then NASA

Roscosmos has been launching to space constantly since the 1960s where as NASA has had several disasters and gaps in space flight several times over the years

They don't. Roscosmos has done well in low Earth orbit, albeit with their share of failures, but their success beyond that has been very limited. Last November they had a major flop when the Fobos-Grunt probe failed to leave Earth orbit. The Russians have nothing to compare to the moon landings, Mars rovers, or any of NASA's outer planet probes, and currently have nothing active beyond Earth orbit.

And all the Soviet cosmonauts who died coming to Earth, their giant moon rockets that blew up on the launch pad and once killed hundreds of people, the space probes to Mars that went nowhere or disappeared or died suddenly at landing, did you forget about those?
True, the Soviet (now Russian) rockets have a marvelous success rate for manned launches (that we know of, given the early secrecy). But that is no reason to compare NASA and say the Russians were better.
The gaps in programs at NASA were the result of either shifting priorities, or slow development times, or budget cutbacks, or in two cases (Challenger and Columbia), pure bumbling bureaucrats.

When was the last time Russia sent a rover to mars, The hole Shuttle idea is a thing of the past now we need a better plan that's why the USA is waiting, because we need to move forward not stay with the same program for 60yrs USA has it's 5th rover landing in August, when was the last time Russia did anything like that.....It was 6yrs ago and it failed like 80% of all of Russia's out of date stuff
Example... The Spektr R Radio telescope that took them 13 years to build, was launched last year...failed to bring back any pictures of interest because the US build ground Basie Radio telescope in the 60's that bring pics back with almost identical images, even thought it was 1000 time more powerful, The US is scraping Hubble, Russia wishes they could have a Hubble.

Because they've been making incremental improvements to the same spacecraft since the 1960s whereas NASA tried to reinvent the wheel after the Apollo program. Unfortunately, the Space Shuttle turned out to be too expensive and unreliable, so now they're forced to start over again.

Well, the Russians are pretty good at Low Earth Orbit operations, but I guess you weren't paying attention when Roscosmos whiffed Phobos-GRUNT recently.

they do NOT have a better space program than we do
the Russians have had plenty of disasters themselves
