When did America win the space race?
Because the space race was a theoretical race, winning would be a matter of opinion. I consider that America "won" this race when the Astronauts of Apollo 11 were the first people to set foot on the moon on July 20, 1969. Many events happened following this historical event which led to the people of the world being the ultimate winner based on the use of satellite communication systems of today.
