Si quiere descubrir la fascinante historia de la carrera espacial, siga leyendo...La Guerra Fría se suele pensar en términos de miedo, posible guerra nuclear y espionaje. Aunque estos fueron elementos de los años entre el final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y la década de 1990, la competencia entre los EE. UU. y la URSS tuvo algunos beneficios reales. Tal vez los mejores y más impresionantes logros durante este tiempo fueron el resultado de la carrera espacial.La carrera espacial no fue algo que ninguno de los dos bandos se propusiera ganar. Inicialmente, los EE. UU. y la URSS solo estaban interesados en ser militarmente superiores entre sí. Esta competencia comenzó aceptando y pasando por alto las atrocidades que los científicos alemanes habían cometido contra sus semejantes durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Los mejores científicos alemanes recibieron otra oportunidad de ambas naciones y de muchos otros países. Incluso hay un chiste sobre esta época que muestra a los dos lados presumiendo que sus científicos alemanes eran mejores que los del otro. Los siguientes años revelaron por qué estos científicos fueron absorbidos por otras naciones en vez de ser juzgados con los otros nazis.En La carrera espacial: Una guía fascinante de la competencia de la Guerra Fría entre los Estados Unidos y la Unión Soviética para llegar a la Luna, descubrirá temas como:El fin de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, el destino de los científicos alemanes y el futuro de un modesto ucranianoUn breve resumen de la rivalidad de la Guerra FríaUn gran anuncio: Ambas naciones prometen lanzar satélitesLa URSS y EE.
