    The space race


    00.00–00.17 John F Kennedy, the president of the United States in 1961.

    In the 1950s and 1960s, there was a race between the United States and the Soviet
    Union – the space race.

    00.18–00.37 Kennedy’s famous speech about space was on 25 May 1961. Alan
    Shepard was the first American in space, on 5 May 1961.

    But he wasn’t the first person in space. That was the Russian, Yuri Gagarin.

    00.38–00.48 Sputnik was the first satellite. It was part of the Soviet Union’s space
    programme in 1957.

    00.49–00.58 On 12 April 1961, the Soviet Union was the first country to send a
    person into space.

    00.59–01.17 In the United States, Alan Shepard, John Glenn, Gus Grissom and four
    more astronauts were part of the Mercury programme.

    John Glenn was the first American to orbit the Earth, on 20 February 1962.

    01.18–01.39 The next goal was to put a man on the Moon. This was the Apollo
    programme.

    There was a tragedy on 27 January 1967 when there was a fire on Apollo 1. Three
    astronauts, including Gus Grissom, died.

    01.40–02.01 On 20 July 1969 there was success for Apollo 11.

    For the first time in history, there were men on the Moon. The first man was Neil
    Armstrong and the second was Buzz Aldrin.

    02.02–02.13 The next American space programme was the Shuttle programme.
    Life 02.14–end There were also tragedies on this programme – in 1986
    with the Challenger shuttle and in 2003 with the Columbia shuttle.
    The shuttle was also part of the International Space Station
    programme. This is a programme by the United States, Russia,
    Canada, Japan and Europe.
