Because of the space race we learned that we can go farther than ever. We can even go to Mars and can even send Satellites to the red planet.
Next is that we can take a look at the world and learn about weather and what it might be like. We can see most storms before they hit you at all so you can be prepared for  what's going to happen.
Lastly we are thinking about sending men to a whole new planet millions of miles away. This trip would take 7-9 months to get there and we are trying to figure out how to survive on the planet and make even a colony on it. With out the space race we would never even imagine any of this because we would never know it's possible.

One way this was a race was to show that they could do better than the other and could get to space first. They wanted to show that they were better than the other. They wanted to prove to the world that they could do before the other one could so the world wouldn't deny them anymore. Second was that they wanted to be the first and that they did first and not the other. They would try and try to be the first in the world to be something. They once again wanted to prove that they are better.
Third is that they wanted to show that they had more power and that they were not to be messed with. If they could get to space and even the moon first then you would not want to mess with them. They wanted to show the world they aren't afraid and want to expand their boundaries outside the US.

This was a race between the US and the USSR on who could get to space first. Russia would be the first to send a satellite to space and a man. The US would be the first to bring a man to space which had them win the space race.

Russia would be the first nation ever to send something to space which was the satellite sputnik. They showed the world that you can make it to space and that they did it first.

Sputnik was really what started it all. This was the first thing ever sent to space and it was done by Russia. The US was angry that they didn't even think about it but they thought about sending a man to space first. They didn't do that because of Russia but they were the first nation to send a man to the moon. Sputnik was proof that you could send something to space and America wanted to do that too.

NASA was a space program to help America make it to space first. They would collect some of the smartest people in the US to do this amazing feet of technology. NASA would help America win the space to the moon but would lose by a month to send the first man to space.

The US would win this race all because of them making it to the moon before the USSR. The first man on the moon was Neil Armstrong in 1969.

The US and Russia would become friends in space and would make the ISS which would be run mostly by America and Russia. This would also show that they can work together and learn so much more about space.
