How? 25swansonq https://padlet.com/25swansonq/d23rko33drrk9se7/wish/2134858517 The US won the space race by getting Astronaut Neil Armstrong on the moon. Making the US the first country to get a man on the moon. ]]> 2022-04-07 15:47:33 UTC https://padlet.com/25swansonq/d23rko33drrk9se7/wish/2134858517 The Space Race after the Cold War 25swansonq https://padlet.com/25swansonq/d23rko33drrk9se7/wish/2134868170 Rivalry between the US and the USSR ended but there is still a space race going on.]]> 2022-04-07 15:52:47 UTC https://padlet.com/25swansonq/d23rko33drrk9se7/wish/2134868170 3 ways the space race created competition between the US and USSR 25swansonq https://padlet.com/25swansonq/d23rko33drrk9se7/wish/2134968902 1. The space race had a reputation to it. Whoever made it to the moon first not only got that title but it also showed the world who had the "better" technologies and studies. 
2. The space race also opened a whole other new realm of competition, space. Since it's so new and underdiscovered everyone wants to be the one to say "Hey! I discovered this!". It almost gives them a power so it would make sense people would rush to figure out as much as possible; creating competition. 
3. Before the Space Race the US and the USSR already had some tensions between them. So a competition definitely did not help it. ]]> 2022-04-07 16:51:27 UTC https://padlet.com/25swansonq/d23rko33drrk9se7/wish/2134968902 What 3 comparisons could be made in technology in the present to the impact made by the space race? 25swansonq https://padlet.com/25swansonq/d23rko33drrk9se7/wish/2134988073 1. The program NASA is always advancing its space technology even today. Created for the original space race and the current one now.
2. We have stuff like wireless headsets, LED lights, and portable technology that had a huge impact for the space race and got them to the moon but also we use a lot today.
3.The space race also launched the idea of artificial satellites. Currently we have 2,787 inorbit right now. ]]> 2022-04-07 17:02:48 UTC https://padlet.com/25swansonq/d23rko33drrk9se7/wish/2134988073
