Yes.
Explanation:
The Missile age references the arms race, most prominently between Russia and America. This is the time when the two countries were developing nuclear weapons and trying to gather the most leading to the cold war. The Space Race was America and Russia trying to out-science each other and be the first ones to achieve landmarks such as: first in space, first man in space, first to orbit the earth, and first to the moon. This was a mostly nonviolent aspect of the cold war.
