À propos de ce contenu audio

 In 1957, a beeping Soviet sphere named Sputnik 1 shocked the world and launched the Space Race. This pilot episode opens with that moment, then pulls back to explore how the Cold War transformed space into a theater of ideological competition. Lucas and Luna discuss the V-2 rocket's dark origins under Wernher von Braun, the strategic calculations behind the Apollo program, and the often-overlooked role of women like Katherine Johnson. They touch on the Soviet N1 moon rocket, the geopolitical stakes of the 1969 Moon landing, and the question: was the Space Race about science or about power? Future episodes will dive into the craft of astronaut survival, the Apollo Guidance Computer, and the Russian space program after the Soviet collapse. This is a warm, rigorous introduction to a story where technology was never neutral—it was a weapon.
