The 'space race'
The galactic aliens from utopia. They got in a ight and bet who could race across space the fastest. Not a very bright race seeing how space expands for ever.
It started on 1957 and ended on 1969
It was the Soviet Union and the USA. It started out as the Space Race which the Soviet Union won with Sputnik in 1957. Of course the USA won the race to the moon in 1969.
The space race is important because it shows the competitive nature between humans. it is a race between russia and america to reach (get a man on) the moon. the race was stared when russia launched a satellite called sputnik in 1957, the americans thought this could destroy them (by launching missiles from space) and the race for space started.

Basically the Successful Launch of Sputnik I by then USSR started the Space race as US Space programme till then was not integrated and successful launch of SputnikI triggred 1)formation of NASA 2)passing of Space act by US congress 3)allocation of funds for the space projects.
The Russians started the Space Race by launching Sputnik the first satellite, which then provoked fear in the Americans to begin development of their own satellites.
