Neil became the first man to walk on the moon. His famous words were “One small step for man and, one giant leap for mankind.” By landing on the moon the USA effectively “won” the space race that had begun with Sputnik’s launch to the moon on their part soviets made four failed attempts of the lunar landing project including a launch pad explosion in 1969. From the beginning to the end the American’s attention was captured by the space race and the various developments of the USA and the Soviets. This tragic time was encouraged by the medium of TV. Astronauts became known as the American heroes and the Soviets were known as the so called villains because of their huge relentless efforts to try to surpass America and to prove
