1951-1954 (Confederation of States)

==&nbsp 1951==

Moon Shot
The Confederates now had almost complete dominance over the Space Race as the Fascist had lost its key scientist and they've barely got a man into space. The Confederates quickly advanced in space technology and laucnhed the Mercury Project which launched 4 men into space at once. They performed the first space walk and were the first to come up with a bathroom to use in zero gravity.

The Fascist now bitter and determined launched the Mond Impaktor from Siberia. It took about a week to reach the moon and then it impacted with the surface and destroyed the machine but did make the Fascist have an incredible jump in the Space Race as they were the first to actually make a man-made object touch the moon.

Embarassed from the defeat the Confederates one-upped the Fascist and launched a Lunar Impactor with a turtle inside of it. It succesfuly sowed down enough before impact to not crush the turtle and it lived for 3 days before turtle died when the air ran out and it died in a coma like state. This also caused the Confederates to have an incredible jump as no they've landed the first living thing on the moon.

Now the race turned into a one-up show as the Fascist circled a monkey from Indochina around the moon before succesfuly landing it on there where it died after its oxygen ran out. The Confederates then landed a two dogs on the moon, the Fascist 14 rats, the Confederates 3 monkeys (captured from an unknown source), then the Fascist launched a man...
