Airborne devices escalate the race and prove problematic in the west. The Soviets send two exploratory satellites into space but the Americans' launch of a Vanguard rocket ends in disaster. In 1960, amid paranoia in the United States about Soviet weapons' capability,
John F Kennedy wins the presidency and promises to put a man on the moon within a decade.
