The biggest reason for the Space Race was seeing who was the absolute best at space travel. Meaning everything about space travel, walking on planets, flying, etc. Although there were many countries the US and USSR were doing the best, which heightened their rivalry. Another way it created competition is that it was also used to see which of the two countries had the better economies and tech. It was also a way for them to battle out with their ideologies. The final way it heightened competition was spurring on other competitions. The space race started with ballistic missiles. So when rocket were launched they would be mistaken for missile tests, which heighten the Arms Race.

The Space Race has affected the world today in many ways, the most easy to see is the advancement of space travel. The Space Race was the origin of organizations like NASA. It is also where satellites came from. Another way it has affected us today is that it is where all our knowledge of space came from. It is how we learned more about our solar system and so much more. It was the starting grounds for all we know today. And finally it advanced technology in so many ways that it could be used in more normal life. What I mean is that the tech was used for things like transportation, buildings, etc.
