The space race was an amazing feat of human ingenuity. I find it interesting that this great feat of humankind was so heavily influenced by conflicts such as the Second World War. The invention of the V2 rocket was meant for the Germans to bombard deep into England, but to learn this rocket was also the foundation of modern space travel is fascinating!

This timeline that you created is one of the most interesting infographics that I have gone over. You did an excellent job with selecting your images for the timeline. You also did a good job when displaying your information you did it in a way where the text is appealing to read. Finally, you did a good job of selecting a background that is interesting but not to where it is distracting. Very well done

Hi Isabel! I loved the composition and the way you laid out the timeline! This was a great usage of space and colors that were well thought-out. Your timeline is very interesting to me, as someone who is interested in space and the human fascination with it, this was a very delightful read! Amazing work and I wish you the best with your nomination.

Hi Isabel, I really like this timeline overall. First, it is visually appealing and as any reader can see how you split up the events by placing the United States race to the moon events on the top half and Soviet Union race to the moon events on the bottom. Second, you did a great job displaying all the information with the proper images and sources. Thirdly, the background was a good choice to reflect the space theme here but not standing out too much. Very well done.
