May 1961: Alan Shepherd becomes the first American in space. February 1962: John Glenn becomes the first American to orbit the Earth. June 1965: Ed White become the first American to walk in space. The USA gains momentum. America advances

“We choose to go to the moon... and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, … because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win”. John F. Kennedy. American advances

December 1968: Apollo 8 becomes the first manned capsule to orbit the moon. July 1969: Apollo 11 carries out the first manned moon landing.

America accelerates

“As I take man's last step from the surface… I'd like to just [say] what I believe history will record - that America's challenge of today has forged man's destiny of tomorrow. And, as we leave the Moon...we leave as we came and, God willing, as we shall return, with peace and hope for all mankind”. Eugene Cernan. America accelerates
