"Singapore has often produced over sixteen thousand five hundred; and Mombasa has actually touched the seventeen thousand mark. But they have unfair advantages." pg. 9When I started these blogs, I was just going to do one for each chapter. But, there's only eighteen chapters, so I'm going to do two for chapter 1. As I was reading, I noticed how competitive the director and Mr. Foster were with other countries when it came to the number of human adults produced from a single ovary. Singapore and Mombasa were currently beating London, but they were not giving up. This reminded me of the Space Race between the United States and Soviet Union beginning in the 1950's. This race consisted of space exploration and sending man to the moon. The race ended when the United States became the first country to send men to the moon. Apollo 11 landed on July 20, 1969, with Neal Armstrong being the first man to step foot on the moon. The competition between the United States and the Soviet Union is very similar to London's competition with Singapore and Mombasa.
