45. The Space Race - By CompassMedia "free readig"

People dreamed of going long distances before anyone could think of a way to get there. In fact, one can not fly into space until the early 1960s. At that time, Russia and the United States each wanted to be the first country into space. It's like a game. Both countries know how to build powerful rockets that will go into space.
Russia sent the first animal into space on a spacecraft. It is a dog. The US sent the first monkey. Russia also sent the first man into space, on April 12, 1961. One month later, the US sent his first man into space. Soon, many men went into space. They circle the Earth in their spaceship, and then land on the sea. Russia and the US could have put people in outer space. \
On July 20, 1969, a US spacecraft with people landed on the moon. People walk on the moon. The US has won the Space Race. After that, another eleven American men walked on the moon. The latter did so on the moon in 1972. Currently, the United States and Russia are still sending people into space. The next test is to walk on another planet: Mars
