The Space Race: Timeline, Cold War & Facts - HISTORY

Webb submitted a budget request to fund a Moon landing before , Kennedy rejected it because it was simply too expensive. Gagarin's flight changed this; now Kennedy sensed the humiliation and fear on the part of the American public over the Soviet lead. Additionally, the Bay of Pigs invasion , planned before his term began but executed during it, was an embarrassment to his administration due to the colossal failure of the US forces. Johnson , asking him to look into the state of America's space program, and into programs that could offer NASA the opportunity to catch up. Johnson, in turn, consulted with von Braun, who answered Kennedy's questions based on his estimates of US and Soviet rocket lifting capability. Kennedy ultimately decided to pursue what became the , and on May 25 took the opportunity to ask for Congressional support in a Cold War speech titled "Special Message on Urgent National Needs". Johnson Space Center facility. As later disclosed, the secretly pursued a crewed lunar program until Almost a year after the Soviet Union put a human into orbit, John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth, on February 20, The United States launched three more Mercury flights after Glenn's: Aurora 7 on May 24, duplicated Glenn's three orbits, Sigma 7 on October 3, six orbits, and Faith 7 on May 15, 22 orbits NASA at first intended to launch one more mission, extending the spacecraft's endurance to three days, but since this would not beat the Soviet record, it was decided instead to concentrate on developing Project Gemini. Gherman Titov became the first Soviet cosmonaut to exercise manual control of his Vostok 2 craft on August 6, Though the two craft's orbits were as nearly identical as possible given the accuracy of the launch rocket's guidance system, slight variations still existed which drew the two craft at first as close to each other as 6. There were no maneuvering rockets on the Vostok to permit space rendezvous , required to keep two spacecraft a controlled distance apart. This time they launched the first woman also the first civilian , Valentina Tereshkova , into space on Vostok 6. The Soviets kept the details and true appearance of the Vostok capsule secret until the April Economic Exhibition, where it was first displayed without its aerodynamic nose cone concealing the spherical capsule. The "Vostok spaceship" had been first displayed at the July Tushino air show , mounted on its launch vehicle's third stage, with the nose cone in place. A tail section with eight fins was also added, in an apparent attempt to confuse western observers. This spurious tail section also appeared on official commemorative stamps and a documentary. Kennedy thus changed his mind regarding the desirability of the space race, preferring instead to ease tensions with the Soviet Union by cooperating on projects such as a joint lunar landing. During the next few weeks he reportedly concluded that both nations might realize cost benefits and technological gains from a joint venture, and decided to accept Kennedy's offer based on a measure of rapport during their years as leaders of the world's two superpowers, but changed his mind and dropped the idea since he did not have the same trust for Kennedy's successor, Lyndon Johnson. As President, Johnson steadfastly pursued the Gemini and Apollo programs, promoting them as Kennedy's legacy to the American public. One week after Kennedy's death, he issued an executive order renaming the Cape Canaveral and Apollo launch facilities after Kennedy. Focused by the commitment to a Moon landing, in January the US announced Project Gemini , a two-person spacecraft that would support the later three- person Apollo by developing the key spaceflight technologies of space rendezvous and docking of two craft, flight durations of sufficient length to simulate going to the Moon and back, and extra-vehicular activity to accomplish useful work outside the spacecraft. Meanwhile, Korolev had planned further, long-term missions for the Vostok spacecraft, and had four Vostoks in various stages of fabrication in late at his OKB-1 facilities. These plans included major advancements in spacecraft capabilities, including a two-person spacecraft, the ability to change orbits, the capacity to perform an extravehicular activity EVA , and the goal of docking with another spacecraft. The greater advances of the at the time allowed their space program to achieve other significant firsts, including the first EVA "spacewalk". Gemini took a year longer than planned to accomplish its first flight, allowing the Soviets to achieve another first, launching the first spacecraft with a three-cosmonaut crew, Voskhod 1 , on October 12, Flying without spacesuits exposed the cosmonauts to significant risk in the event of potentially fatal cabin depressurization. By October 16, , Leonid Brezhnev and a small cadre of high-ranking Communist Party officials deposed Khrushchev as Soviet government leader a day after Voskhod 1 landed, in what was called the "Wednesday conspiracy". According to historian Asif Siddiqi, Korolev's accomplishments marked "the absolute zenith of the Soviet space program, one never, ever attained since. Though delayed a year to reach its first flight, Gemini was able to take advantage of the USSR's two-year hiatus after Voskhod, which enabled the US to catch up and surpass the previous Soviet lead in piloted spaceflight. Gemini achieved several significant firsts during the course of ten piloted missions:. Most of the novice pilots on the early missions would command the later missions. In this way, Project Gemini built up spaceflight experience for the pool of for the Apollo lunar missions. Korolev's design bureau produced two prospectuses for circumlunar spaceflight March and May , the main spacecraft for which were early versions of his Soyuz design. Soviet Communist Party Central Committee Command officially established two secret, competing crewed programs for circumlunar flights and lunar landings, on August 3, The circumlunar flights were planned to occur in , and the landings to start in The Zond sacrificed habitable cabin volume for equipment, by omitting the Soyuz orbital module. Chelomey gained favor with Khrushchev by employing members of his family. A separate lunar lander " Lunniy Korabl ", LK , would carry a single cosmonaut to the lunar surface. The treaty remains in force, signed by member states. In , both nations faced serious challenges that brought their programs to temporary halts. Both had been rushing at full-speed toward the first piloted flights of Apollo and Soyuz, without paying due diligence to growing design and manufacturing problems. The results proved fatal to both pioneering crews. An investigative board determined the fire was probably caused by an electrical spark and quickly grew out of control, fed by the spacecraft's pure oxygen atmosphere. Crew escape was made impossible by inability to open the plug door hatch cover against the greater-than-atmospheric internal pressure. On April 24, , the single pilot of Soyuz 1 , Vladimir Komarov , became the first in-flight spaceflight fatality. The mission was planned to be a three-day test, to include the first Soviet docking with an unpiloted Soyuz 2 , but the mission was plagued with problems. Early on, Komarov's craft lacked sufficient electrical power because only one of two solar panels had deployed. Then the automatic attitude control system began malfunctioning and eventually failed completely, resulting in the craft spinning wildly. Komarov was able to stop the spin with the manual system, which was only partially effective. The flight controllers aborted his mission after only one day. The official autopsy states Komarov died of blunt force trauma on impact, and that the subsequent heat mutilation of his corpse was a result of the explosive impact. Fixing the spacecraft's faults caused an eighteen-month delay before piloted Soyuz flights could resume. The United States recovered from the fire, fixing the fatal flaws in an improved version of the Block II command module. The US proceeded with unpiloted test launches of the Saturn V launch vehicle Apollo 4 and Apollo 6 and the Lunar Module Apollo 5 during the latter half of and early The Soviet Union also fixed the parachute and control problems with Soyuz, and the next piloted mission Soyuz 3 was launched on October 26, It was the first-ever docking of two crewed spacecraft, and the first transfer of crew from one space vehicle to another. The Soviet Zond spacecraft was not yet ready for piloted circumlunar missions in , after five [ verification needed ] unsuccessful and partially successful automated test launches: Cosmos on March 10, ; Cosmos on April 8, ; Zond A September 27, ; Zond B on November 22, During the summer of , the Apollo program hit another snag: the first pilot-rated Lunar Module LM was not ready for orbital tests in time for a December launch. NASA planners overcame this challenge by changing the mission flight order, delaying the first LM flight until March , and sending Apollo 8 into lunar orbit without the LM in December. It encountered difficulties in Earth reentry, and depressurized and deployed its parachute too early, causing it to crash-land only 16 kilometers 9. They also became the first to leave low-Earth orbit and go to another celestial body, entering lunar orbit on December The American Lunar Module was finally ready for a successful piloted test flight in low Earth orbit on Apollo 9 in March The next mission, Apollo 10 , conducted a "dress rehearsal" for the first landing in May , flying the LM in lunar orbit as close as 47, feet Unknown to the Americans, the Soviet Moon program was in deep trouble. Apollo 11 was prepared with the goal of a July landing in the Sea of Tranquility. The trip to the Moon took just over three days. The first humans on the Moon waited six hours before they left their craft. The first step was witnessed by at least one-fifth of the population of Earth, or about million people. Apollo 11 left lunar orbit and returned to Earth, landing safely in the Pacific Ocean on July 24, NASA had ambitious follow-on plans as it reached its lunar goal, but soon discovered it had expended most of its political capital to do so. The first landing was followed by another, precision landing on Apollo 12 in November NASA had achieved its first landing goal with enough Apollo spacecraft and Saturn V launchers left for eight follow-on lunar landings through Apollo 20, conducting extended-endurance missions and transporting the landing crews in Lunar Roving Vehicles on the last five. They also planned an Apollo Applications Program to develop a longer-duration Earth orbital workshop later named Skylab to be constructed in orbit from a spent S-IVB upper stage, using several launches of the smaller Saturn IB launch vehicle. But planners soon decided this could be done more efficiently by using the two live stages of a Saturn V to launch the workshop pre-fabricated from an S-IVB which was also the Saturn V third stage , which immediately removed Apollo Apollo 13 encountered an in-flight spacecraft failure and had to abort its lunar landing in April , returning its crew safely but temporarily grounding the program again. In February , President Richard M. He cut the spending proposal he sent to Congress to include funding for only the Space Shuttle, with perhaps an option to pursue the Earth orbital for the foreseeable future. The USSR continued trying to perfect their N1 rocket, finally canceling it in , after two more launch failures in and During and , they launched six more Soyuz flights after Soyuz 3, then launched the first space station , the laboratory designed by Kerim Kerimov , on April 19, Three days later, the Soyuz 10 crew attempted to dock with it, but failed to achieve a secure enough connection to safely enter the station. The crew became the second in-flight space fatality during their reentry on June They were asphyxiated when their spacecraft's cabin lost all pressure, shortly after undocking. The disaster was blamed on a faulty cabin pressure valve, that allowed all the air to vent into space. The crew was not wearing pressure suits and had no chance of survival once the leak occurred. Salyut 1's orbit was increased to prevent premature reentry, but further piloted flights were delayed while the Soyuz was redesigned to fix the new safety problem. The station re-entered the Earth's atmosphere on October 11, after days in orbit. After the DOS-2 failure, the USSR attempted to launch four more Salyut-class stations up to , with another failure due to an explosion of the final rocket stage, which punctured the station with shrapnel so that it would not hold pressure. All of the Salyuts were presented to the public as non-military scientific laboratories, but some of them were covers for the military Almaz reconnaissance stations. The United States launched the orbital workstation Skylab 1 on May 14, Skylab was damaged during the ascent to orbit, losing one of its solar panels and a meteoroid thermal shield. Subsequent crewed missions repaired the station, and the final mission's crew, Skylab 4 , set a human endurance record with 84 days in orbit when the mission ended on February 8, Skylab stayed in orbit another five years before reentering the Earth's atmosphere over the Indian Ocean and Western Australia on July 11, In May , President Richard M. Nixon and Soviet Premier Leonid Brezhnev negotiated an easing of relations known as detente , creating a temporary "thaw" in the Cold War. The time seemed right for cooperation rather than competition, and the notion of a continuing "race" began to subside. To prepare, the US designed a docking module for the Apollo that was compatible with the Soviet docking system, which allowed any of their craft to dock with any other e. The module was also necessary as an airlock to allow the men to visit each other's craft, which had incompatible cabin atmospheres. The joint mission began when Soyuz 19 was first launched on July 15, , at UTC , and the Apollo craft was launched with the docking module six and a half hours later. The two craft rendezvoused and docked on July 17 at UTC. The three astronauts conducted joint experiments with the two cosmonauts, and the crew shook hands, exchanged gifts, and visited each other's craft. In the s, the United States began developing the reusable orbital Space Shuttle spaceplane , and launched a range of uncrewed probes. The USSR continued to develop space station technology with the Salyut program and 'Peace' or 'World', depending on the context space station, supported by Soyuz spacecraft. They developed their own large spaceplane under the Buran program. The Russian R-7 rocket family , which launched the first Sputnik at the beginning of the Space Race, is still in use today. It also ferries both Russian and American crews to and from the station. Currently, the US Commercial Crew Development and Artemis program are intended to result in the development of a variety of crewed spacecraft. is also developing a Soyuz replacement, and China has sent crewed Shenzhou spacecraft to orbit. The imagery of the Space Race has remained poignant in the popular imagination of many nations even after the fall of the Soviet Union. In August Russia announced that they were releasing a vaccine for COVID skipping multiple stages of clinical trials, referring to it as the " Sputnik vaccine " to capture the sense of pride still felt by Russians from their victories in the Space Race.

TGSR is a combination role-playing game and science-fiction space combat game. The basic premise of the game is that a new super-drink called Natof has been discovered. Natof has three key properties, which are to get the person drunk, never leave him with a hangover, and supply him with all the nutrition required from a well-balanced if never sober diet. The name Natof is a portmanteau of the phrase " NA me TO F ollow" - the sentence sent with the first batch of miracle drink by the discoverer. The manual describes the game as "a true computer movie. The player can just watch events unfold, joining in as much or as little as he wishes. Pre-release publicity boasted that the game contained "technical effects never before seen in home computer software", with "true solid 3D graphics". Error rating book. Refresh and try again.
