Welcome to the Space Record, a History Page for reviews, articles and historical documents about the space heroes of the 1950's space race. The page will be updated as new information is unearthed. Therefore, this is a call to all cadets to search libraries, bookshops, attics and any other resource for information on our favorite heroes. Historical documents and popular magazine articles are the best source in research, so pass the information on to the Academy so other "solar scholars" may learn about and enjoy the early years.
