"Space Race" is a 1980 song by New Zealand band Mi-Sex. It was the second single released from their second studio album, Space Race. The song, like much of Mi-Sex's work, is characterized by its new wave and synth-pop sound, featuring prominent synthesizers and a driving beat. Lyrically, the song uses the historical Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union as a metaphor for personal competition and striving for goals. While not as commercially successful as their debut single "Computer Games," "Space Race" still charted in several countries, including Australia and New Zealand. The song remains a popular track for fans of Mi-Sex and is considered a classic example of the band's signature sound.
