The U.S wanted the world to follow Democracy where the people get more freedoms and more choice. The Soviet Union wanted the world to follow Communism where the government makes all decisions. this lasted for 45 years until officially ending in 1991. ]]> 2022-04-07 18:41:56 UTC https://padlet.com/25fixr/laz8becd3i5ylbhm/wish/2135150436 25fixr https://padlet.com/25fixr/laz8becd3i5ylbhm/wish/2135157612 The Space Race was a fierce competition between the U.S and the Soviet Union with winning comes supremacy in being able to bring someone to the moon or put satellites in orbit. ]]> 2022-04-07 18:46:50 UTC https://padlet.com/25fixr/laz8becd3i5ylbhm/wish/2135157612 25fixr https://padlet.com/25fixr/laz8becd3i5ylbhm/wish/2135166072 The Soviet Union was the first country to do so. With the sputnik-1. This created more competition for the U.S and Soviet Union to put someone on the moon rather than just a satellite. ]]> 2022-04-07 18:52:19 UTC https://padlet.com/25fixr/laz8becd3i5ylbhm/wish/2135166072 25fixr https://padlet.com/25fixr/laz8becd3i5ylbhm/wish/2135172218 The significance of Sputnik-1 was the Soviet Union and Earth's first artificial satellite. The U.S was in shock because they thought they would be the first to accomplish this. ]]> 2022-04-07 18:56:27 UTC https://padlet.com/25fixr/laz8becd3i5ylbhm/wish/2135172218 25fixr https://padlet.com/25fixr/laz8becd3i5ylbhm/wish/2135173850 The National Aeronautics and Space Administration or NASA was created in 1958 to help the U.S win the space race. It was a huge corporation of some of the smartest people in the U.S to help make the U.S win.]]> 2022-04-07 18:57:40 UTC https://padlet.com/25fixr/laz8becd3i5ylbhm/wish/2135173850 25fixr https://padlet.com/25fixr/laz8becd3i5ylbhm/wish/2135175990 Who won the Space Race is a complicated question. When the competition first started they tried to put a satellite in space for spying on the other side. The USSR won that with the Sputnik-1. Then another challenge arose with trying to get a human on the moon. The U.S won that with the success of the Apollo mission. ]]> 2022-04-07 18:59:23 UTC https://padlet.com/25fixr/laz8becd3i5ylbhm/wish/2135175990 25fixr https://padlet.com/25fixr/laz8becd3i5ylbhm/wish/2135185524 There was many ways the space race created competition between the U.sS and the Soviet Union including: 

It related competition in the beginning then the Soviet union said that they could put a satellite in space faster than the U.S

When the soviet union had the accomplishment of sending sputnik-1 into orbit it only angered the U.S more. 

Another way was after sputnik was launched there was a new challenge of getting a man on the moon, another competition. Which the U.S won with the Apollo mission.

The IBM during the Apollo mission was just being built and used more often. But now uses a different math calculating machine that IBM was originally bought for. They both serve the same purpose for NASA.   

Headsets were used to communicate with the astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. They were wired and looked a little different in being wireless and more reliable or durable. Both models did the same thing for NASA in making communication easier

Satellites in general were used a lot back then to take pictures and spy on the other enemy. Satellites now are used for cabling networks and a backbone for cell phones and other technologies like that. Satellites are still being launched today from NASA and now have teams aboard them to make our wifi and cable service smoother.
