This film charts the story of the race from the first bleeps of Sputnik to the ' giant leap for mankind' watched live by 600-million television viewers around the world, probably the greatest communal event of all time. But what was the purpose of it all? Was it the truly scientific quest that it was claimed to be, or was it a political and cultural event? Narrator PAUL VAUGHAN
