They established themselves after the Sputnik launch to compete with Russia. NASA was dedicated to working hard in order to surpass the Soviets in the Space race.]]> 2022-04-06 13:03:19 UTC https://padlet.com/25silusc/dbiwqtdzqvujp0g6/wish/2132576057 What was the Space Race 25silusc https://padlet.com/25silusc/dbiwqtdzqvujp0g6/wish/2132576728 The US and Soviets were battling technologically to try to make more accomplishments than the other in discovering space.

We would not have some of the same technology today if the US and Soviet Union didn’t try to traverse space so aggressively in the past. Satellites have also accurately mapped out the earth as an effect of the space race. Lastly, we also use satellites for our phones when using GPS, cellular, or calls. ]]> 2022-04-06 13:28:03 UTC https://padlet.com/25silusc/dbiwqtdzqvujp0g6/wish/2132624313
