It was when Soviet Union and United States had a race to see who would land a man on the moon first.

Answer

The Space Race was not only the race for the moon but to see who could advance the quickest technologically when it came to space. Such as the first living thing in space, the first man in space, the first space walk, the first one to get to the moon, the first to walk on the moon. It all started October 4th, 1957 when Russia launched an artificial satellite into space. Later the United States launched its own satellite. Almost the whole race the United States was one step behind Russia but eventually they beat Russia to the moon on July 20,1969 when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Alrin walked in the Sea of Tranquility.
