Synopsis

Humans have been gazing into space since the beginning of time. In fact, in some ways, our space activities began long before the V2 rockets flew or the launch of Sputnik 1. The first stage of those activities (Space 1.0) was marked by astrology and astronomy, with Space 2.0 being the phase of the space race between the U.S. and USSR.
