Economically: The Space Race affected both countries during the Cold War. After the Cold War, both countries had spent tons and tons of money on both the war and everything else they were caught in during the Cold War, such as the Space Race. Each side desperately wanted to take down the other, so they ended up spending just about all of their money on weapons and making advanced technology to be able to get in Space the fastest. In America, President John F. Kennedy had a goal and ended up raising taxes to get money to pay for the expenses of going into space. It wasn’t just the U.S that spent a lot of money on the Space Race, the Soviet Union ended up spending so much money fighting in the Cold War that the whole entire nation collapsed.

Politically: There were 2 sides to the Cold War which were the Communists (Soviets) and the Capitalists (U.S). The Soviets were trying to spread communism, and had started many other previous fights.

Neil Armstrong was the first man to step on the moon, along with 2 other men. He has a famous saying "That's one small step for [a] man; one giant leap fro mankind". No one will ever forget the moment the U.S stepped foot on the moon. This was the end to the Space Race.

The Space Race was a new conflict that began right after WWII. The Space Race was a competition between the Soviet Union and the United States to see who could get to space first and spaceflight capability. Each side fought for superiority in their technology and winning the race would be a big step for one nation. Tensions grew between the Soviets and the United States as the Space Race took place right at the time the Cold War was going on between the same 2 nations. The Soviets were the first to launch what they called “Sputnik” and was the first artificial satellite man-made to go into Earth’s Orbit. The United States were surprised at the Soviet’s achievement, but it wasn’t a pleasant one for the Americans. In the year of 1958, the U.S launched their own satellite, Explorer 1, designed by the 1 and only U.S army. In 1959, the Space Race took on another level. The Soviets decided to launch Luna 2, which was the first Space probe to hit the moon. Later on, the U.S claimed that they would be the first to land and step foot on the moon before the end of the decade, in which they succeeded and 3 U.S men arrived at the moon in Apollo 11.

I believe that the Space Race was an open conflict. I think that the Space Race was an open conflict because the Soviet Union and the U.S were fighting against each other to see who could get to space first. Conflict struck between them because both were superpowers and they were competing to see who could get to Space first and see whose technology was better. Both wanted to get up into space first, but the U.S was the first to send men to the moon and step foot into space. Although the U.S was the first to step foot onto the moon, technically the Soviet Union was the first to go up into space. The Space Race could most likely go on still today but both sides were caught in the Cold War and the Soviets were close to falling.
