The "space race" was a competition between USSR and The United States to get objects and people into space orbit, and eventually reach the moon. The USSR placed the first synthetic satellite in orbit ("sputnik"), placed the first human in orbit, preformed the first space walk (where the astronaut leaves the rocket and floats in free space, attached to the rocket by a cord), but the US placed the first man on the moon.
