The Space Race was a competition between two Cold War rivals, the Soviet Union (USSR) and the United States (US), for rule in spaceflight capability. (1955–1972) The space race was the basis of the Cold War. Because of this there was very little fighting. Although the world was preparing for nuclear war, every country that had the capability was creating mass destruction weapons. These weapons provided a new form of fear even though they never went off. The space race involved the first man on the moon and sending satellites into space. This race caused world wide stress and potentially ended the world.
