    The document summarizes the key events of the space race between the United States and Soviet Union during the Cold War era. It describes how the Soviet launch of Sputnik spurred the US to create NASA and focus on technological innovation through the space program. Major milestones discussed include the first American in space, John Glenn; President Kennedy's challenge to land on the moon by the end of the 1960s; and the 1969 Apollo 11 mission that fulfilled that goal with Neil Armstrong's "one small step" on the lunar surface. The space race led to advances in science, technology, and international cooperation.
