So the US knew they had to keep up.
They started the APOLLO program which would send many rocket ships into space.
All with the goal to put the first man on the moon.
Although, it didn't always work out.
The first Apollo launch ended in catastrophe.
But they would persevere.
And eventually, Apollo 11 was launched as their first attempt at landing on the moon.
Piloted by Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins
