The Space Race was a competition for victory between the US and the USSR. It began with the launch of Sputnik 1 by the Soviet Union. It involved many other missions to include Explorer 1, Vostok 1, Mariner 2, Ranger 7, and Luna 9. Some of the more well known missions are the Apollo missions 1-17.
On April 12, 1981 the Space Shuttle Columbia, STS-1, became the first space shuttle to orbit the Earth.
