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 would like to tell you a horrible story.
One night it seemed to me that there was someone besides me in my room. I opened my eyes and saw a woman's shade at the window . She was very tall, thin and she stretched out her arms to me. I was scared and I screamed so loud as I could. I was sitting on the bed and crying. Suddenly my parents ran into my room. They were very frightened. Dad turned on the light, and I stopped screaming. It turned out that in the afternoon, my mother brought a huge palm tree in a large pot from the hall into my room and she put it behind the curtains. That night there was full moon, and it seemed to me that it was a ghost ...
I have never been so frightened as that night
There are 3 main things in my healthy lifestyle: healthy eating, physical exercise and leisure activities. All together these components help me keep my body and mind in good condition.
Healthy eatingFormation of right eating habits is one of the ways to having good health. There are enough fruits, vegetables, meat and fiber in my diet. I avoid overeating and drink plenty of water.
Physical exerciseOur body needs physical exercise. However, that does not imply spending 3 hours in a gym every day. We all are different. Some gruel themselves with heavy muscle-strengthening exercises, for others a short walk is enough. I like swimming and yoga. I also enjoy long walks in the fresh air.
LeisureWhile keeping our body healthy, we should not forget about our mind. Having a hobby or involving oneself in different leisure activities helps restore our mental health.
There are different types of leisure activities, from reading books and knitting to hiking and travelling. I recently discovered that I enjoy growing indoor plants and am very attracted by handmade works.
