Abstract

Throughout the second half of the 20th century, the USA and Soviet Union spearheaded humanity’s push into space, driven partly by curiosity and mostly by political ego. The Space Race saw humanity’s first space-bound launches take place, sending out satellites equipped with payloads containing everything from scientific instruments to monkeys and dogs.
