The Space Race is on
“On May 25, 1961, a defining moment unfolded in American history as President John F. Kennedy boldly declared the nation’s commitment to landing a man on the Moon and ensuring his safe return within the decade. This historic proclamation marked a significant escalation in the Space Race with the Soviet Union.”
Historic Lunar Landing: On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin made history by being the first and second men to walk on the Moon. This landmark event in space exploration occurred just over eight years after President Kennedy’s ambitious declaration to land a man on the Moon.
