top space findings

I found top space findings and meaningful events to the space race. In 1957 the Soviet Union launches first capsule into space. The United States is right behind doing the same thing a year later. October 1, 1958 NASA is formed by Congress. In 1961 Soviet Union sends first man into space and returned him hope safely. In 1969 the US sends the first men to the moon and they walk on it. They are the infamous Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin. In 1973 the US sends up its first mini space station. In 1983 Sally Ride becomes the first woman in space. The next month the first African American was allowed up. Those are pretty much the largest ones. There are a few more exciting events but I’ll save them for the paper.
