Psalm 19:1 says, “The heavens declare the glory of God.”  Since the dawn of man, looking to the skies has been a reminder of the vastness of space in comparison to the smallness of human beings, the infinite possibilities that have yet to be discovered, the power in which it holds, and the wonderment that it evokes in our finite human hearts.  We’ve looked to the skies for answers, we’ve questioned its origins, and we’ve become increasingly curious about its potential as our science and technology advances.  And ever since the launch of Sputnik I by the Soviet Union in 1957, space has become more than just an awe-inspiring picture to gaze into, it has become a competition.  Welcome to this episode of the Missing Chapter Podcast, where today, we’ll discuss the space race, but not in the typical sense, as we delve into declassified documents that may reshape how you view our own Moon and rethink what you were taught in the history textbooks about our plans for space.
