The Space Race - Who Really Won?

 

Many people agree that the space race ended on July 20, 1969, when Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon for the first time.

over 13 years to get to the Moon? 

 

This talk looks at the achievements of both the Soviet Union and America

and answers the question, Who Won The Space Race?

It also explores the new space race, one which is funded by billionaires,

such as Richard Branson and Elon Musk, and is only just beginning!
