I don’t really see the Space Race as an “intellectual movement,” as such - it was more of a peaceful international competition. Stunning scientific advances aside, there was no intellectual component to the Space Race that philosophers would chew over. Influential Intellectual Movements: 1. Scientific Revolution 2. The Space Race 3. The Industrial Revolution 4. Marxism (you said “intellectual,” not “scientific”) 5. The Psychoanalytic Movement 6. The Protestant Reformation 7. The Enlightenment 8. Utilitarianism One of my favorites, with some caveats. ---
