    The Space Race between the United States and Soviet Union during the Cold War was a competition to achieve firsts in space exploration. The Soviets achieved early milestones by launching the first artificial satellite, Sputnik 1, and sending the first living creature, a dog named Laika, and first human, Yuri Gagarin, into space. However, the US eventually caught up and surpassed the Soviets by accomplishing goals such as Alan Shepard becoming the first American in space, John Glenn orbiting the Earth, and Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin becoming the first humans to walk on the Moon with the Apollo 11 mission.
