The Space Race (1955-1975)

The Cold War saw a competition between the world’s two great powers-the democratic, capitalist United States and the communist Soviet Union. Both sides would fight to have the best technology in space and who could achieve the ‘firsts’.

    +Marco PLATIN yeah and i've got evidence of the spy's who sent the information to them too. Gustav Guellich and Friedrich von Boetticher, they opened my mailbox and looked in my mail and even stole reports. Friedrich von Boetticher sent a four-page report to the Abwehr in 1936 Gustav Guellich apparently was at Rosewell and saw a launch of an A series rocket himself he also gave a large report to the Abwehr including critical information about fuel mixtures and an engine Cooling jacket.........a cooling jacket that just so happened to end up in the V-2. sources -Hitler's Spies: German Military Intelligence in World War II. -Rocket Man: Robert H. Goddard and the Birth of the Space Age. -The Game of the Foxes, Ladislas Farago, 1972, although I have yet to find any further evidence that the Germans spied on my work the likely hood is extreme, since like the Cooling Jacket my innovative 3D gyroscopic stabilizer and Control vanes in my L series also ended up in the V-2. You know, the US could have had a rocket program of their own if they had listened to me about value of rockets in the future, and if they did our rocket program would have been far ahead of the Germans since I was the one with the real progression and real talent.

    All those USSR achievements were just for the idea of it. Not that they continued for kong. The first object on the moon was a small rocket that was made to juuuust make it there. The first man in the space was only in it for 1 hour. Same for the first woman. The first dog in space died as the Commies didn't want to spend what was necessary to actually complete the mission and thus the spacecraft was left to burn up. The first orbit was outta nowhere and even then the US did a longer and better orbit. The first space station was made after the space race ended.

    The Soviets absolutely did NOT lose interest in space after the US landed on the moon. The USSR kept on rolling and landed a probe on Venus in 1970 and then on Mars in 1971. They were the first country to do either of those things. I don't know why people act like they just gave up after 1969?

    All those USSR achievements were just for the idea of it. Not that they continued for kong. The first object on the moon was a small rocket that was made to juuuust make it there. The first man in the space was only in it for 1 hour. Same for the first woman. The first dog in space died as the Commies didn't want to spend what was necessary to actually complete the mission and thus the spacecraft was left to burn up. The first orbit was outta nowhere and even then the US did a longer and better orbit. The first space station was made after the space race ended

    Two runners start the race. One quickly rushes forward, the second after a couple of seconds begins to run after him. The gap is getting bigger and bigger. Then the second runner turns onto the sidepath, takes a ribbon from his pocket and pulls it between 2 trees. Then he calls the all the journalists to him, crosses the ribbon and shouts to the first runner that he won because finish line was here.

    Nike Trushkov how do you get to the moon? What do you have to go through to get to the moon? Both missions of both countries were to land on the moon, one of the greatest achievements mankind could do, and who did it first?? It doesn’t matter if your ahead in a race what matters is who crosses the finish line first.

    2:42 well that mission wasn't all a sucess, shortly after docking, Gemini 8 started to spin, then they undocked from Agena and spun more, but then the Astronauts got the spin under control and started an emergency decent, and eventually landed sucessfuly in the ocean
