The Space Race

The space race kicks off on July 29, 1955 when the US announces its plan to launch the world's first artificial satellite. This is basically the start of a 20 year back and forth between US and Soviet achievements in motherfucking space travel. It finally ends on July 15, 1975 when the competitive nature of the two countries dies down and they complete a joint Apollo Soyuz mission. Maybe you remember watching. I think you were like five. Could be.
