US Manned Space Program: A History

Description

While the rest of the world congratulated the Soviets on “Sputnik,” the US was in a complete panic. The Russians had beaten us into space! Why had we grown complacent? Did the Russians get an entire troop of German technicians to work for them? Is our education system that far behind in science and mathematics? All of these questions flooded the White House and the hallowed halls of Congress. Whatever the reasons, Sputnik definitely started the space race, but who actually crossed the finish line first was never really that clear. As it turned out, however, the moon landing was the end. This course is an exciting recount of the whole era.
