Space Race

The true story behind one of the most exciting and exhilarating times in history. Spanning twenty years from the Second World War through to the moon landings it exposes the ruthlessness and the brilliance of the scientists involved and the extreme levels of endurance needed by those wanting to succeed over the rest. The 'race' was to create the most powerful rocket and to land astronauts on the moon. It tells of the pioneering experiments and catastrophic risks that cost untold amounts of money and ended scores of lives. This can be traced back to the rivalry between two recklessly daring scientific leaders: the charismatic ex-Nazi Wernher von Braun in the American team, and the enigmatic Soviet project leader, known mysteriously as 'The Chief Designer'.
