1960's Space and Science Fiction Toys

America's space program was going strong throughout the 1960's, and it was generally a time of optimism about our country's future out among other planets and stars. The Soviets' launching of Sputnik in 1957 had given everyone a kick in the pants, and President Kennedy had pledged to have a man on the Moon by the end of the decade. In July 1969, several years after his death, Kennedy's promise was made good, and humans took their first steps upon the surface of another world.

Before then, though, the space program, and its promise of a better future, enthralled young people and adults alike. Advances in such scientific subjects as electronics and nuclear power made it look as though we about to step out and conquer the Universe. Naturally, the children's toys of this time reflected that aggressive optimism.
