The Space RaceThe race to space was a hard fought battle. The Soviet Union against the american people. The Soviet's were the first to launch a Satellite into space on earths orbit. in 1958 U.s Launched their own satellite into space. Though out the Light years they had spent searching the space that had never been seen before. The space race shown the economic and Scientific powers in both countries. In the end though this brought humans to were we are today, some things that were made would not have been made if the space race did not happen.
By landing on the moon, the United States effectively “won” the space race that had begun with Sputnik’s launch in 1957. For their part, the Soviets made four failed attempts to launch a lunar landing craft between 1969 and 1972, including a spectacular launch-pad explosion in July 1969. From beginning to end, the American public’s attention was captivated by the space race, and the various developments by the Soviet and U.S. space programs were heavily covered in the national media"._ |
