The early era of space exploration was driven by a " Space Race " between the Soviet Union and the United States, the launch of the first man-made object to orbit the Earth, the USSR's Sputnik 1, on 4 October 1957, and the first Moon landing by the American Apollo 11 craft on 20 July 1969 are often taken as the boundaries for this initial period.

This competition included the development and improvement of nuclear weapons and the Space Race.

* The Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union gave a peaceful outlet to the political and military tensions of the Cold War, leading to the first human spaceflight with the Soviet Union's Vostok 1 mission in 1961, and man's first landing on another world — the Moon — with America's Apollo 11 mission in 1969.

The conflicts included the Korean War in the beginnings of the decade and the beginning of the Space Race with the launch of Sputnik I.

Efficient directional explosives maximized the momentum transfer, leading to specific impulses in the range of 6, 000 seconds, or about twelve times that of the Space Shuttle Main Engine.

Had von Braun's team been allowed to orbit a satellite in 1956, the Space Race might have been over before it gained sufficient momentum to yield real benefits.

Arcades catering to video games began to gain momentum in the late 1970s with games such as Space Invaders ( 1978 ) and Galaxian ( 1979 ) and became widespread in 1980 with Pac-Man, Centipede and others.

Momentum wheels ( used in the Hubble Space Telescope ) are a different type of actuator, mainly used for gyroscopic stabilization of spacecraft: momentum wheels have high rotation speeds ( around 6000 rpm ) and mass.

Arcades catering to video games began to gain momentum in the late 1970s with games such as Space Invaders ( 1978 ), Asteroids ( 1979 ), and Galaxian ( 1979 ), and became widespread in 1980 with Pac-Man, Missile Command, Berzerk, Defender, and others.

* A Space fountain is held up by the momentum of masses which are shot up to the top at high speeds from the ground.

* Space and momentum-the continuous translational symmetry of space implies the conservation of momentum

* Space and angular momentum-the continuous rotational symmetry of space implies the conservation of angular momentum
