The 'space race diplomacy' refers to the competition mostly in the 1950's and 1960's between the United States and the USSR to achieve a number of firsts in space and to dominate it. Initially Russia led the way with the first satellite, first man and later woman in space, and first spacewalk - although some of the difficulties and shortcuts taken to achieve these were not revealed until much later. Eventually, the US took the lead and became the first to land a man on the moon. Nowadays, Russia and the US work side by side on the International Space Station. Both nations used this newly-born 'space race' to scare one another of the nuclear bombs both now possessed. (Ex: Sputnik was thought to be a nuke by the Americans at first).
