Your Shortcut to... the Modern-Day Space Race

For thousands of years, people have looked up at the night sky with
questions and as technology has advanced so have we in coming
closer and closer to answering them. Since the race between the US
and the Soviet Union to reach the moon in the 1960s there has been
a growing appetite to explore the great unknown. In this Squiz
Shortcut, we take you through what's been happening since Neil and
Buzz touched down, why there is so much talk about Mars, and the
private companies joining the space race. The Squiz is the
backstory to the big news stories. Squiz recommends: Elon Musk is
adding the host of Saturday Night Live to his resume. That’s on
Saturday, 8 May and it’s controversial already… The landing of
NASA’s Perseverance Rover on Mars - that only happened a few months
ago in February so it’s still pretty raw and exciting. See /privacy
