The political ideas were that each nation wanted to be better and more advanced than the other. This pushed them to start competing to get to space faster.

One human right that was denied is the right to democracy because the soviet union was communist. This means they couldn’t participate in the government and they didn’t have the right to vote

Communist and capitalist because that is one of the major reasons they were fighting, because the US didn’t want communism to spread.

Superiority was important because that is another reason they were fighting, to prove to the other that they had superior weapons , military, and political power.

Apollo 11 is important because that is when the US won the space race by having the first man to walk on the moon.

The space race was a crisis not an open conflict. Since the space race wasn’t the major powers directly fighting and it was just them competing to see who would make it to space first it wasn’t an open conflict.

The US and the Soviet Union were competing to see who would make it to space first. They both wanted to prove they were advanced enough to make it into space before the other.  In the article it says, “Beginning in the late 1950s, space would become another dramatic arena for this competition, as each side sought to prove the superiority of its technology, its military firepower and–by extension–its political-economic system.” which shows that both of them fought to be more advanced than the other.
