As they watched birds fly, they wished that they could soar into the blue sky. As they watched the night sky, they wished they could explore the distant bright specks called stars. These dreams led inventors and scientists to risk their lives to achieve flight. Orville and Wilbur Wright’s first flight at Kitty Hawk in 1903 was only the beginning. Flight continued to improve and dreams soared further into space. The first manned space flight occurred in 1961 when Russian cosmonaut Yuri A. Gagarin orbited Earth a single time. In 1963, the first woman cosmonaut, Valentina Tereshkova, orbited the Earth 48 times. The Russians led the space race for many years. In 1965, another cosmonaut, Alesksei A. Leonov, took the first space walk. In 1968, the Russians launched an unmanned spacecraft that orbited the Moon. The pictures that returned to Earth encouraged man to take the next step to land on the Moon. The United States became the leader in the space race when Apollo 11 landed on the Moon in 1969. Neil Armstrong was the first man to step on the lunar surface. As he did so, he said these famous words, “That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.” Later in 1969, Charles Conrad, Jr. and Alan L. Bean returned to the Moon. In 1972, the United States completed its last mission to the Moon with the launch of Apollo 17. Today, people continue their quest for space, gathering data from the International Space Station. In addition, unmanned probes have flown deep into space toward the planets, sending back pictures and scientific readings.
