Episode Notes
The American and Soviet space programs began amid Cold War tensions, where the goal was to "get there first" and demonstrate who had technological supremacy. These efforts began with the launch of artificial satellites, followed quickly by sending crewed spacecraft to orbit. All in preparation for eventual missions to the Moon!
