This is the story of the Space Race - from the launch of the Soviet's Sputnik I on October 4, 1957 to the successful completion of the first phase of the Space Shuttle program in 1983. These 25 years have witnessed triumph and tragedy as the Soviet Union and the United States battled for control of outer space.

In Volume One, we explore the history of the U.S. space program, beginning with the U.S. response to the launch of Sputnik. We follow the program through the successes and failures of the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs, and their final culmination in the era of lunar exploration.

Comprised of official NASA archives with stunning cinematic detail, Space Race recounts one of the most glowing achievements in the history of space exploration.
