Read the passage.The Space Race was an exciting competition between the United States and the former Soviet Union during the middle of the twentieth century. Both countries were racing to be the first to put equipment and people into space. In 1957, the Soviets shocked the world by launching the first man-made satellite into Earth's orbit, which put enormous pressure on the U.S. to keep up. Then, in 1961, the Soviets were first to put a human into space. Not to be outdone, though, the U.S. launched its own astronaut into space a few weeks later.
