The Cold War Battle Beyond Earth | The Space Race

As soon as World War II ends, another conflict begins. But this war won't be a battle of bullets: it will be a battle of minds. The Americans and Soviets, deadlocked in the Cold War, set their sites on "the final frontier" - in the race to space, only one side can get there first. American Genius is a documentary series focusing on the lives of inventors and pioneers who have been responsible for major developments in their areas of expertise and helped shape the course of history.
