The Space Race was a competition between the
United States and the Soviet Union over who
would control space and the Moon. The space race
had it foundation during World War II when
Germany launched the first missiles that
returned to Earth as weapons of mass
destruction. At end of the war, American and
Soviet soldiers scrambled to capture the German
scientist so they too could continue this
missile technology. Russia opened up the race
when it launched Sputnik and the United States
followed with a rapid expansion of their own
programs.
