Three major competitions include the Space Race, the Arms Race, and the Olympic games.]]> 2022-04-07 15:38:13 UTC https://padlet.com/25meyera3/dtwf9asuqjps0fw3/wish/2134841754 What country would be the first to actually reach space and what accomplished for them?How did this continue to create competition? 25meyera3 https://padlet.com/25meyera3/dtwf9asuqjps0fw3/wish/2134855714 The Soviets were the first to put something in space with their creation of Sputnik. They were also the first to put a person in space. This was a huge accomplishment as that has never been done before. Putting an object into Earth’s orbit is one thing, but putting someone on the Moon is another. This was what the US was shooting for. That is how it created more competition]]> 2022-04-07 15:45:53 UTC https://padlet.com/25meyera3/dtwf9asuqjps0fw3/wish/2134855714 Who won the space race? How? 25meyera3 https://padlet.com/25meyera3/dtwf9asuqjps0fw3/wish/2134858471 On July 20, 1969 an American astronaut named Neil Armstrong stepped foot on the moon. This ended the Space Race with the United States coming out on top.]]> 2022-04-07 15:47:32 UTC https://padlet.com/25meyera3/dtwf9asuqjps0fw3/wish/2134858471 What was the Space Race? 25meyera3 https://padlet.com/25meyera3/dtwf9asuqjps0fw3/wish/2134865374 The Space Race was a competition between the United States and the Soviets, to see who was smarter. Their goal was to show superiority in space flight.]]> 2022-04-07 15:51:16 UTC https://padlet.com/25meyera3/dtwf9asuqjps0fw3/wish/2134865374 How has the space race changed after the Cold War? 25meyera3 https://padlet.com/25meyera3/dtwf9asuqjps0fw3/wish/2134867271 With new technology coming out and being invented, there was even more competition to be better than the other. Artificial satellites, unmanned probes, and human spaceflight were all invented to outsmart the rival. Also the Soviets thought that they had fallen behind the US, causing them to speed up production. It pressured the Soviets to go further through space than they thought, at a faster pace.]]> 2022-04-07 15:52:20 UTC https://padlet.com/25meyera3/dtwf9asuqjps0fw3/wish/2134867271 What agency was created in the US and how was it dedicated to the space journey? 25meyera3 https://padlet.com/25meyera3/dtwf9asuqjps0fw3/wish/2134870743 National Aeronautics and Space Administration or, NASA, was created during the space race. They were the organization that planned everything, built the technology, and sent the first man to the moon.]]> 2022-04-07 15:54:20 UTC https://padlet.com/25meyera3/dtwf9asuqjps0fw3/wish/2134870743 How was competition created in the Cold War because of the Space Race? 25meyera3 https://padlet.com/25meyera3/dtwf9asuqjps0fw3/wish/2134895220 It created competition by trying to outsmart the rival. The US and Sovites wanted to show that they were smarter than the other. What better way to show that than doing something that has never been done before: sending somebody into space. Another reason it created competition was the funding. The United States put a lot more money into the NASA program the the Sovites did to theirs. This put a ton of preassure on the Soviets to succeed. Another reason the Space Race created competition was that they wanted to be the first to reach the moon. The Americans didnt care if Soviets got the first object in space, they cared about putting a man on the moon.]]> 2022-04-07 16:08:38 UTC https://padlet.com/25meyera3/dtwf9asuqjps0fw3/wish/2134895220 Comparison 1 25meyera3 https://padlet.com/25meyera3/dtwf9asuqjps0fw3/wish/2134973629 As technology gets more advanced, we can take the old spacecraft and turn it into a better ship. Spacecraft today are modified versions of past rockets and rovers. The technology used in the Space Race set a standard for ships that only went up.]]> 2022-04-07 16:54:28 UTC https://padlet.com/25meyera3/dtwf9asuqjps0fw3/wish/2134973629 Comparison 2 25meyera3 https://padlet.com/25meyera3/dtwf9asuqjps0fw3/wish/2134984246 Using our new technologies, we have discovered more things about space than we ever thought we would. We know more about the surface of the moon that we do the ocean. People are even trying to make hotels in space.]]> 2022-04-07 17:00:21 UTC https://padlet.com/25meyera3/dtwf9asuqjps0fw3/wish/2134984246 Comparison 3 25meyera3 https://padlet.com/25meyera3/dtwf9asuqjps0fw3/wish/2134988959 Today, getting to the moon is still no easy task. It is pretty impressive that they got to the moon with the technology they had in 1969. This proves that you can accomplish anything if you put your mind to it.]]> 2022-04-07 17:03:21 UTC https://padlet.com/25meyera3/dtwf9asuqjps0fw3/wish/2134988959
