這是世界第一個發射到太空中的

並徹底改變了我們所熟知的這個世界

被用於納粹德國展開的飛彈攻擊

against Allied cities as a last-ditch effort

這發生在第二次世界大戰的最後幾年

美國與蘇聯各接收了其相關技術

the technology and the scientists that had developed it

and began using them for their own projects.

the first intercontinental ballistic missile, the R-7,

於兩個月後成功發射史普尼克號

關於史普尼克號，最令人驚恐的

could be used to launch a nuclear warhead at any city.

也可用來發射核子彈頭攻擊任何城市

and launch a satellite as soon as possible.

並在最短時間內完成發射人造衛星的目標

因此，於西元1957年，十二月六號

and crashed to the ground two seconds later.

The Vanguard failure was a huge embarassment

And a Soviet delegate at the U.N. mockingly suggested

蘇聯駐聯合國大使甚至嘲諷似的

值得稱幸的是，美國陸軍同時也在發展另一個計畫

on their own parallel project, The Explorer,

which was successfully launched in January 1958,

but the U.S. had barely managed to catch up

as Yuri Gargarin became the first man in space

那是在蘇聯太空人-尤里加加林 成為第一位登上太空的人類

By this time, President Kennedy had realized

經由這次事件，美國總統甘迺迪明白一點

to each Soviet advance a few months later

蘇聯的成就，並在幾個月後達成

是不足以停熄這場太空軍備競賽

and in May 1961, a month after Gargarin's flight,

因此，於西元1961年五月 就在俄國太空人加加林登上太空一個月後

They succeeded in this through the Apollo program

最後，在西元1969年，七月二十號

with Neil Armstrong taking his famous step

隨著尼爾.阿姆斯壯踏出那有名的一步

With both countries' next turning their attention

negotiated by Soviet Premier Leonid Breshnev

the U.S.S.R. and U.S. moved toward cooperation

衆所周知的阿波羅-聯合測試計劃

與蘇聯聯合號太空船在太空中接合

marked the end of the space race in 1975.

這項任務的成功，在1975年宣告終止了太空競賽

這整個太空競賽的重點是什麼？

Two major superpowers trying to outdo each other

兩大強權試圖於某些指標性任務

but the biggest benefits of the space program

但是，太空競賽所帶來最大收穫

had nothing to do with one country beating another.

不在於一個國家打敗了另一個國家
