=The Space Race=

By Shan Mei
> The Space Race lasted between October 4, 1957 (when //Sputnik 1// was launched by Russia) until a little bit after July 20, 1969 (when Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin walked on the moon) between Russia and U.S. The main purpose of the Space Race was to see which country could land a human being on the moon and return him safely back home. The U.S. won after Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin came back to Earth after landing on the moon on July 20, 1969. > * The Space Race > * Apollo 11 > * Citations for Space Race
