Popis: The 1969 Apollo 11 Moon landing gave the US the final victory in the Space Race against the Soviet Union. But while NASA’s lunar achievement was decisive for this extraterrestrial competition, it was not so for the ongoing terrestrial one. And even as America aimed for the Moon, Russia occupied the space around the Earth, launching crewed space stations into low Earth orbit.
