The Space Race was one of the many competitions between the US and the Soviet Union during the Cold War, to win influence and power over the world by achieving a great spaceflight capability.

This image of Sputnik is significant as it was the first satellite to be launched into space.

# data[].attributes.body
Sputnik was a big mark on space history, as it was the first-ever artificial satellite launched into space by the Soviet Union on October 4, 1957. The launching of Sputnik by the Soviet Union was a major shock for the United States as they hoped they would have been the first, but this didn’t make the United States back down. Instead, they feared that they were falling behind the Soviets and the US pushed for more space and weapon programs to be created.

What agency was created in the US and how was it dedicated to the space journey?

# data[].attributes.body
NASA was created in response to the Soviet's launching of Sputnik and it was solely dedicated to the space journey. NASA's first mission was to launch a manned vehicle to space, and worked to send more objects to space to beat the Soviets in the race to space.

What 3 comparisons could be made in technology in the present to the impact made by the space race?

What 3 comparisons could be made in technology in the present to the impact made by the space race? 

# data[].attributes.body
One comparison made in tech in the present to the impact by the space race is the nuclear bomb. This is because there is a large competition between securing this great power and influence over the world, and their was just as much pressure for power/influence during the Cold War to get into space.
There is also a current competition between the US and China for which country has the greatest technology market, just like how the US and USSR competed over who had the strongest technology in space during the cold war. AI is one of these technologies that are creating a scientific competition between countries today.
The last comparison is NASA's purpose in the past and in the present. NASA was solely made to achieve President Kennedy's goal of sending a man to the moon and beating the Soviet's to it, but now it's used for further space exploration, such as sending humans to Mars and discover water on Earth's moon.

What are 3 ways the space race created competition between the US and USSR?

What are 3 ways the space race created competition between the US and USSR? 

# data[].attributes.body
One of the ways the Space Race created competition was because of the big influence that the US and the USSR could obtain from reaching space first. They were both eager to earn power and influence over the world and the Space Race was one of the best ways to do so.
Another way it created competition was because of Sputnik being launched and causing great fear and pressure among the US. The US wanted to catch up and surpass the Soviet Union through the scientific developments, such as sending a man to the moon.
The last way competition was created was by showing the world which country was smarter and more technologically advanced. Space was a very far dream and achieving it  would create great fame for either the US or the USSR.
These 3 ways created great tension and competition between the two countries to get into space first.

How has the space race changed after the Cold War?

# data[].attributes.body
The space race changed after the Cold War because their was less competition between the two countries as they solely focused on their own scientific discoveries. But in 1998, they decided to stop the competition and agreed to create an International Space Station, which would help them work together. Another way in which the space changed was America is the little competition they have with some other countries, such as China, in the terms of aerospace development.

This image shows the debate between which country actually won the space race.

# data[].attributes.body
This question is a big debate among historians, but most would agree that the United States won as they were the first to achieve the major accomplishment of getting a man on the moon, a difficult task even the Soviets couldn’t achieve after sending the first man into orbit.

Why was President Kennedy’s proclamation of getting a man to the moon so important? What does this have to do with project Apollo?

# data[].attributes.body
President Kennedy believed it was important to get a man on the moon because he felt the pressure of the US falling behind the Soviet Union and wanted to “catch up and overtake” them in the Space Race. Because of this declaration, NASA launched the Apollo project which would send the first man onto the moon.
