The United States of America was first in the "Space Race" which was a race to see which country would be first to land on the moon.
Because it was a "race" between the USSR and the US to reach space milestones first.
The space race took place in the mid 60's, and was America, verses the russians, to be the first to get to the moon.
It refers to America and what is now Russia who engaged in a race to put a man in space first.
The soviets won first into space, the Americans first to the moon
The first artificial satellite into space was named sputnik and was launched by the USSR. The term "Space Race" actually applies to the race to the moon which was won by the US when the Apollo spacecraft touched down in 1969.

The Space Race was a technology race in the 1950s and 1960s between the USA and the USSR to outdo the other in space-related advances. The most dramatic result of this was the first moon landing, in 1969, which effectively ended the race.
The space race was between the America's and the Russian's. Each side sent up many missions but nearly all of them failed. The Russian's were first into space but in 1969 the America's landed the first two men on the moon and therefore winning the space race.
Both America and the USSR improved space and rocket technology. The Soviets got to space first, but America got to the moon first. America would've won if it was an actual race.
The countries involved in the space race were the USSR and the United States of America. The US claims victory in the space race, having been the first to land on the moon in 1969.
