DeKALB The DeKalb Public Library will be hosting the “Space Race- Getting to the Moon, a Tale of the Cold War, Bringing Nazis to America and Cutting Corners!” event from 2 to 3 p.m. Saturday via Zoom. It will be presented by speaker and author, Evan Weiner.
“The space race was only a part of the overall Cold War between the Soviet Union and the Americans,” Weiner said.
The event pulls back the curtain on the Cold War and the state of the world surrounding it. This event will take a deep look into the Apollo 11 moon landing and diving in the space program’s roots, looking into its successes and failures. It also takes a look at German scientists who worked toward America’s space exploration, according to the event page.
