International Conflict, Western World Threats and Geopolitical Intelligence
America is losing its lead in the space race as other countries challenge its dominance on the “final frontier”, the head of Nasa has warned.
The more obvious rivals such as Russia and Europe have been joined by countries as diverse as Brazil, Israel and India, which are all launching their own space programmes.

Space Race :: Race for The Moon [Part 1 of 5] Episode four: Race for The Moon (1964-1969) Both sides now plan to put a man on the Moon - the Americans pull ahead in the space race with Project Gemini, but then suffer a disaster with the Apollo 1 fire. Meanwhile, despite a few notable successes such as the first space walk by Alexei Leonov, the Soviet space program struggles to keep up amid internal strife. Glushko and Korolev permanently fall out in an argument about fuel; Korolev turns to Nikolai Kuznetsov to develop engines instead. Kuznetsov delivers the NK-33, very efficient but much less powerful than the Americans' F-1. The Soviet program suffers further blows when Korolev dies during surgery, Gagarin dies in a jet crash, Soyuz 1 crashes and kills Vladimir Komarov, and the prototype booster for the moon shot, the N-1 rocket,...

BBC Space Race episode 1 (4): Launch first Soviet rocket "Space Race" is a BBC docu-drama series between September/October 2005, chronicling the major events and characters in the American/Soviet space race. It focusses on Sergei Korolev, the Soviets' chief rocket designer, and Wernher von Braun, his American counterpart. On 22 May 1947 he first group of 234 specialists was given the task of designing a 600 km range rocket (the G-1/R-10). The most senior was Helmut Groettrup, who had been an aide to the director of electronics at Peenemunde. Work had begun on this already in Germany but the initial challenge in Russia was that the technical documentation was somehow still 'in transit' from the Zentralwerke. The other obstacle was Russian manufacturing technology, which was equivalent to that of Germany at the beginning of the 1930's....

Space Race I made this and made sure that all the details of who launched what and when to show the race to space between America and Russia. I made it in 3D Max and then put the satellites and rockets in afterwards in After Effects. In the gap in the middle where nothing happens a Frenchman runs in and kicks a cat to the moon and then runs off. I am in the process of modelling the Frenchman right now. www.emmawilliamsmedia.co.uk Tags: 3D, After, America, American, Animation, Cat, Effects, Frenchman, Max, Moon, Race, Russia, Russian, Space |

Space Race :: Race for Survival [Part 5 of 5] Episode three: Race for Survival (1959-1961) Both the Americans and Soviets are planning manned space flight, and we see both sides preparing to do so with the development of the Vostok program (USSR) and Project Mercury (USA).
