apr 12, 1961 - The Space Race

Description:

Russia and U.S unofficially compete to see which country is more capable of being able to fly to outer space first. The Russians were able to get satellite in space first, Americans didn't like a Russian satellite facing them everyday so they sent Allan Shephard to be the first American in space on this day.
