About this listen

In the mid-20th century, the United States and the Soviet Union competed to control the future of space. This was the Space Race—an intense rivalry that led to amazing scientific advances, including the first satellite, the first human in space, and the Apollo 11 moon landing. This episode explores how politics, fear, and ambition launched humanity into space—and why the Space Race changed the world forever. 📢 ⁠⁠⁠Donate via Patreon⁠⁠⁠ for a shout-out! 🎉 Check out our new show, ⁠⁠⁠⁠Bedtime Safari⁠⁠⁠⁠! ⁠⁠⁠⁠📺⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠ 👍 ⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠🇲🇽⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Spanish | "Déjame contarte la Historia"⁠⁠⁠
