It cost a lot of money. The United States spent about
$100 billion. Both countries used German scientists to develop their
rockets.
The Space Race began in 1957 when the Soviet Union launched
the first satellite, Sputnik. They sent a dog into space on Sputnik 2.
Then, in 1961, Yuri Gagarin became the first man in space. He
went round the Earth once. It took 108 minutes.
In 1961 President Kennedy said that before the end of 1969
Americans would land a man on the moon.
In 1966 a Russian spacecraft landed on the moon, but there were no astronauts
on board.
In 1968 Apollo 8 orbited the moon. Then, in 1969, Apollo 11 landed
on the moon, and Armstrong and Aldrin walked on its surface.
The Space Race ended in 1975 when the Russian Soyuz 19
met and joined America's Apollo 18 in space.
So the Russians won the race to put the first man in space, but
the Americans put the first man on the moon.

I'd like to go to Australia. I really like this country because it is very exotic. There are many unusual animals and plants which you can meet only in Australia. I know that in Australia there are many interesting and special things - the Great Barrier Reef archipelago, the Blue Mountains, the luxurious beaches, the unique building of the Opera House in Sydney, the stunning Harbor Bridge, the Kunguroo and the koala, etc. All of this I really want to see. But the main thing I want to enjoy the Australian landscapes and find out what they are - sunsets - on the other side of the Earth. The climate is hot. Sidney is the capital of Australia and it is famous worldwide for it's opera. The nature is actually impressive. I'd like to go to the beach and surf.
Я бы хотел поехать в Австралию. Я действительно люблю эту страну, потому что она очень экзотичная. Там есть много необычных животных и растений, которых вы можете встретить только в Австралии. Я знаю, что в Австралии есть много всего интересного и особенного - архипелаги Большого Барьерного Рифа, Голубые горы, роскошные пляжи, уникальное здание Оперного театра в Сиднее, потрясающий по своей красоте мост Харбор Бридж, кенгуру и коалы и т. д. Все это мне очень хочется увидеть. Но главное мне хочется насладиться австралийскими пейзажами и узнать, какие они - закаты - на другом краю Земли. Климат жаркий. Сидней - это столица Австралии, и он знаменит по всему миру своей оперой. Природа действительно впечатляющая. Я бы хотел пойти на пляж и заняться серфингом.
