Answer: It was known as the SPACE RACE.

Explanation: The space race was a cold war between the Soviet Union (USSR) and the United States (US), to get satellites and humans into space. The competition began in earnest on August 2, 1955, when the Soviet Union responded to the US announcement. On April 12, 1961, the USSR surprised the world again by launching Yuri Gagarin into a single orbit around the Earth in a craft they called Vostok 1.
