The Space Race was a competition between the US and the Soviet Union. Its goal was to prove that to the other country that they would fly to space first.

This was the first satellite put into space by the Soviet Union. This was also what started the Space Race by sending the first man-made object into space.

The Soviet Union was the first to send a person into space aboard the Vostok 1. This launch showed that objects and people could be successfully launched into Earth’s orbit and returned. But, this also created completion because other countries wanted to develop technology for themselves.

The agency created by the United States was called NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration). This agency helped develop missions and exploration in space.

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

His speech was important because he wanted to get the citizens of the US to believe that they could win the space race and gather morale for the mission. The mission he was mentioning in his speech was the Apollo; the one that aimed to go to the moon.

You could say either country won. The Soviet Union completed their personal mission of sending a spacecraft into orbit around the moon while the United States had sent the first man to walk on the moon.

The Space Race started when the Soviet Union responded to the US’s announcement of plans to launch satellites into space with their own plans to do so.
The USSR then sent 2 dogs and a variety of plants into space which were brought back safely. The US fought back by sending a chimpanzee, the first humanoid creature into space, and returning him safely.
The Soviet Union had sent the first person into space and made one full orbit around the Earth. Then, the US had successfully made the first pilot-controlled space trip of its own. But, they failed to make a full orbit around the Earth.
Through all of these competitions, many could have been hurt, and have been, because each country wanted to beat the other in this race.

One example of technology is that small cameras were made to fit onto spacecrafts with a good enough quality so they could monitor how it was doing. This can now be seen in modern phone cameras, although with much higher camera quality.
Another thing that came from the Space Race are CAT scans. They were developed to take accurate digital picture of the ground and this helped make CAT scans and radiology.
Foil blankets also from the race and came from insulator made for spacecrafts. They were thin and lightweight enough to protect the ship and for the people on those spacecrafts. Now, they are still used to protect people from extreme temperature and climate.
