It sparked further tension between the USA and the USSR in that spy satellites were now feasible. It also accelerated the Space Race, for the USA was inventing new technologies faster in response to Sputnik.]]> 2022-04-07 15:50:57 UTC https://padlet.com/25boganj/qc0mwvs9sxcrdhx4/wish/2134864885 25boganj https://padlet.com/25boganj/qc0mwvs9sxcrdhx4/wish/2134874447 The USSR sent the first person into space. The USA, feeling one-upped, rushed to put a man in space themselves, creating more competition between the two superpowers.]]> 2022-04-07 15:56:32 UTC https://padlet.com/25boganj/qc0mwvs9sxcrdhx4/wish/2134874447 25boganj https://padlet.com/25boganj/qc0mwvs9sxcrdhx4/wish/2134884948 After the Cold War, the Space Race ended, and a new era of cooperation and collaboration began. The Outer Space Treaty banned any nuclear weapons in space, and limited the use of the Moon for peaceful purposes only (i.e. no military bases on the Moon)]]> 2022-04-07 16:02:35 UTC https://padlet.com/25boganj/qc0mwvs9sxcrdhx4/wish/2134884948 25boganj https://padlet.com/25boganj/qc0mwvs9sxcrdhx4/wish/2134889208 The Space Race created competition between the USA and the USSR in many ways. One form of competition was to explore Inner Space (just outside of the atmosphere) first, similar to the Age Of Exploration. The competition to explore Inner Space was one form of competition that did not escalate to the brink of war. Another form of competition between the superpowers was to be the first to achieve superior spaceflight. Space was seen as a military playground by both nations, and having control of it was seen as top priority among the superpowers. One more form of competition was the race to develop and advance space technologies. The technologies developed were mostly better rocket engines and life preservation systems for longer manned spaceflights. ]]> 2022-04-07 16:05:07 UTC https://padlet.com/25boganj/qc0mwvs9sxcrdhx4/wish/2134889208 25boganj https://padlet.com/25boganj/qc0mwvs9sxcrdhx4/wish/2135000751 There are many technologies that were invented during the Space Race. the most prominent example is solar cells, which were invented by NASA in order to power longer spaceflights. NASA shared its advancements to further accelerate the solar cells' development, leading to today's solar panels. Another technology is air purifiers, which were invented during the Apollo missions to remove excess CO2 from the atmosphere of the cockpits of spacecraft. One more technology was wireless headsets, which were developed during the Mercury and Apollo missions as a hands-free method to communicate with Earth. this technology is commonplace everywhere, from airlines to gaming.]]> 2022-04-07 17:10:19 UTC https://padlet.com/25boganj/qc0mwvs9sxcrdhx4/wish/2135000751
