first artificial satellite – Sputnik 1 (Soviet Union) first man in space – Yuri Gagarin (Soviet Union) first woman in space – Valentina Tereshkova (Soviet Union) first person on the moon – Neil Armstrong (United States) there are MANY other firsts, but these are the ones that I can think of offhand. The “space race” was the competition between the US and USSR to be the first to reach various benchmarks in space exploration. It was important as a source of national pride.
