This is a little ambiguous, so below are several "firsts." Let's take "space" as meaning "at least 100 km above sea level" which is a fairly common choice. In that case: * The first rockets capable of reaching that altitude (the V-2 rockets) were developed by Germany * The first scientific (i.e. non-military) rocket flight to that height was by the US using a captured and modified V-2 * First animals in space (fruit flies): US * First satellite (Sputnik): USSR * First non-Earth landing (Moon): USSR * First manned spaceflight: USSR * First non-Earth soft landing (Moon): USSR * First non-Earth manned landing (Moon): US
