After the Second World War, the rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union extended beyond Earth itself. The launch of Sputnik 1 began the Space Age, followed by a series of historic milestones: Yuri Gagarin became the first human in space, Valentina Tereshkova the first woman to orbit Earth, and Alexei Leonov performed the world's first spacewalk. The race reached its climax when Apollo 11 landed the first humans on the Moon, one of humanity's greatest achievements. This campaign shows how competition between two superpowers accelerated scientific progress and opened the path to the stars.
