Australia has played a bigger role in space race than you would have imagined!
From the 1950s through to the 1970s, Australia was gripped with excitement as humanity made its first forays beyond Earth's atmosphere.
The excitement saw Mr Squiggle- 'the man from the moon' grace our screens and futuristic architecture and designs hit the world stage with Australia's Expo pavilion in 1970 at the World Fair.
How has the Woomera Rocket Range supported space exploration then and now.
Find out more in the State Library of South Australia's exhibition Out of the World: Australia in the Space Age.
