A walk in the rain People called it a murderous night‚ but that term was clinched. Since it was raining cats and dogs and you could probably see a speck or two of the flashing lightening above and hear the roar of the sky which now that i think about it‚ sounded like a lion with a very bad throat indeed‚ but oh well‚ what is such a big deal in that? “No biggie” as my friend put it.

The competition to be the first in space began in 1945 and would last 30 years. The Space Race pitted the United States and Soviet Union against each other in a contest that extended from the Earth to the surface of the moon and beyond.
