The space race was the race to land a man on the moon and bring him back safely to Earth. Because both nations (United States & The USSR) thought they would lose the race they made a treaty that stated that no weapons what so ever would be brought onto the moon.

The so-called "space race" between the US and the USSR was to become the first nation to successfully launch a space satellite to orbit the Earth. Most of all it was a race to see which nation had the best technology. The idea was that whomever controlled space had a scientific edge over all other nations.
