<br/><br/> When people look up at the night sky, they might see the potential for amazing discoveries and scientific advancement. During the Space Race of the 1950s and 1960s, some people also saw a place that needed to be claimed. In The Space Race: How the Cold War Put Humans on the Moon, middle school astronomy students will explore the bitter rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union that served as fuel for the fire that catapulted rockets into the great unknown of the next frontier-space-and eventually landed a man on the moon.
