The New Frontier — Kennedy and the Space Race
JFK inaugurated, declaring 'the torch has been passed to a new generation.' The Berlin Wall was built. Yuri Gagarin became the first human in space. The Bay of Pigs invasion. The Great Conjunction in Capricorn established the new Cold War structures that would govern the next 20 years: the Space Race, the nuclear standoff, and the generational leadership change from WWII veterans to their children.
