Space Challenge 1

Space Challenge 1 was a human spaceflight program formed at the beginning in 1949 under the presidency of Thomas Dewey to develop advanced spaceflight systems capable of carrying Americans. The project was partially funded by William Winslow's SpaceCon corporation. The project concluded in 1959 with major operations transferred to Project Pilgrim and its pursuit of a direct ascent lunar mission. 
In response to continued technological aggression from the fascist German Republic, President Dewey attempted to circumvent this by establishing Space Challenge 1 which led to the development of Space Challenge 2 which evolved in Project Pilgrim.
