Basically who could accomplish more things in space and land on the moon first. It was between the Soviet Union and the US. ]]> 2022-04-06 18:20:19 UTC https://padlet.com/25schindlera/kverpdt8m9i01i2b/wish/2133193549 25schindlera https://padlet.com/25schindlera/kverpdt8m9i01i2b/wish/2133196167 The Sputnik was the first artificial satellite launched by the Soviet Union. It was so significant because it was the first manmade object in space and ergo began the space race. ]]> 2022-04-06 18:21:55 UTC https://padlet.com/25schindlera/kverpdt8m9i01i2b/wish/2133196167 25schindlera https://padlet.com/25schindlera/kverpdt8m9i01i2b/wish/2133199783 The Soviet Union began to beat the US in the space race when they successfully sent the first man into space. This was a huge loss for the US but it also made them realize that they needed to move much faster if they wanted to beat the Soviet Union in the race. This continued to create competition by pushing the US harder so that they would not lose this race. ]]> 2022-04-06 18:23:59 UTC https://padlet.com/25schindlera/kverpdt8m9i01i2b/wish/2133199783 25schindlera https://padlet.com/25schindlera/kverpdt8m9i01i2b/wish/2133201828 His proclamation was so important because it inspired many Americans who felt like they wouldn’t win because the Soviet Union was already so far ahead. It restored the US “energy” and it made everyone hopeful for a victory. Apollo was the NASA program that sent the first man on the moon. Kennedy's speech inspired many and also boosted the funds for the Apollo project which let the development to get the first man on the moon move fast enough to be the Soviet Union. ]]> 2022-04-06 18:25:17 UTC https://padlet.com/25schindlera/kverpdt8m9i01i2b/wish/2133201828 25schindlera https://padlet.com/25schindlera/kverpdt8m9i01i2b/wish/2133204079 The US technically won the space race by being the first country to land a person on the moon. ]]> 2022-04-06 18:26:40 UTC https://padlet.com/25schindlera/kverpdt8m9i01i2b/wish/2133204079 25schindlera https://padlet.com/25schindlera/kverpdt8m9i01i2b/wish/2133206381 NASA was created in the US and it was dedicated to the space journey. It was an agency that focused on the research and the development in space technology.]]> 2022-04-06 18:27:44 UTC https://padlet.com/25schindlera/kverpdt8m9i01i2b/wish/2133206381 25schindlera https://padlet.com/25schindlera/kverpdt8m9i01i2b/wish/2133207948 One way was that they wanted to prove that they were superior to the other country and that they were the better country. Another way was that they simply wanted to be the first country to make history and land a man on the moon. Last reason was that they wanted to prove to the citizens that their taxes that were somewhat used to pay for a lot of the space equipment and technology didn't go to waste. ]]> 2022-04-06 18:28:48 UTC https://padlet.com/25schindlera/kverpdt8m9i01i2b/wish/2133207948 25schindlera https://padlet.com/25schindlera/kverpdt8m9i01i2b/wish/2133209038 The space race created many technology differences on the earth such as the satellites that surround the world. These satellites allow for television, weather reporting, navigation and much more. Before the space race it was much harder to get access to television and other things. During the space race NASA invented memory foam so without the space race we wouldn’t have our soft memory foam pillows and mattress. The space race also improved a lot of medical technology such as medical imaging techniques, durable healthcare equipment and more. This made it a lot easier to solve health related issues that would have been a lot more difficult to solve before the space race. ]]> 2022-04-06 18:29:27 UTC https://padlet.com/25schindlera/kverpdt8m9i01i2b/wish/2133209038
