It had its origins in the ballistic missile-based nuclear arms race between the two nations following World War II.]]> 2022-04-06 18:20:24 UTC https://padlet.com/25hendricksonc/xzli4b6v8kglm1xm/wish/2133193699 What was the significance of Sputnik? 25hendricksonc https://padlet.com/25hendricksonc/xzli4b6v8kglm1xm/wish/2133200378 On Oct. 4, 1957, Sputnik 1 was successfully launched and entered Earth's orbit by the Soviet Union. Which began the space age. The successful launch shocked the world, giving the former Soviet Union the distinction of putting the first human-made object into space. ]]> 2022-04-06 18:24:22 UTC https://padlet.com/25hendricksonc/xzli4b6v8kglm1xm/wish/2133200378 What country would be the first to actually reach space and what accomplished for them? How did this continue to create competition? 25hendricksonc https://padlet.com/25hendricksonc/xzli4b6v8kglm1xm/wish/2133205893 Soviet Union, the Soviet Union launched the earth's first artificial satellite, Sputnik-1. The successful launch came as a shock to experts and citizens in the United States, creating competition to see who could accomplish more first because the United States wanted to accomplish this scientific advancement first.]]> 2022-04-06 18:27:24 UTC https://padlet.com/25hendricksonc/xzli4b6v8kglm1xm/wish/2133205893 What agency was created in the US and how was it dedicated to the space journey? 25hendricksonc https://padlet.com/25hendricksonc/xzli4b6v8kglm1xm/wish/2133206845 National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), an independent U.S. governmental agency established in 1958 for the research and development of vehicles and activities for the exploration of space within and outside Earth's atmosphere.]]> 2022-04-06 18:28:03 UTC https://padlet.com/25hendricksonc/xzli4b6v8kglm1xm/wish/2133206845 Why was president Kennedy’s proclamation of getting a man to the moon so important? What does this have to do with project Apollo? 25hendricksonc https://padlet.com/25hendricksonc/xzli4b6v8kglm1xm/wish/2133208306 To explain to the people how the Apollo mission was important and the decision to go to the Moon and the space program were motivated, for a better boost in funds]]> 2022-04-06 18:29:02 UTC https://padlet.com/25hendricksonc/xzli4b6v8kglm1xm/wish/2133208306 Who won the space race? How? 25hendricksonc https://padlet.com/25hendricksonc/xzli4b6v8kglm1xm/wish/2133213500 The united states, with the moon landing on July 20, 1969, America effectively “won” the space race. ]]> 2022-04-06 18:32:12 UTC https://padlet.com/25hendricksonc/xzli4b6v8kglm1xm/wish/2133213500 What are 3 ways the space race created competition between the US and USSR? 25hendricksonc https://padlet.com/25hendricksonc/xzli4b6v8kglm1xm/wish/2133222726 1. The Soviets responded with yet another launch. The space race continued, creating tensions with the US and China in the race to the moon. 

2. The success of Sputnik had a major impact on the Cold War and the United States. Since they wanted to be more technologically advanced, wanting to be the first to everything. 

3. With news of the success of Sputnik, the U.S. feared that they had fallen behind. Which led U.S. policymakers to accelerate the space program to get to the moon first.

The Space Race spawned pioneering efforts to launch artificial satellites. It prompted competitive countries to send unmanned space probes to the Moon, Venus and Mars. It also made possible human spaceflight in low Earth orbit and to the Moon. The Space Race was considered important  in the present because it showed the world which country had the best science, technology, and economic system. 

2. The Space Race was considered important  in the present because of the relevant examples that we use in everyday life which include; medical imaging techniques, durable healthcare equipment, artificial limbs, water filtration systems. solar panels, firefighting equipment, shock absorbers, air purifiers, home insulation, weather resistant airplanes, infrared thermometers, and countless other vital inventions.

3. Lastly the Space Race was considered important  in the present because after World War II both the United States and the Soviet Union realized how important rocket research would be to the military. They each recruited the top rocket scientists from Germany to help with their research. Rockets today are now used for fireworks, missiles and other weaponry, ejection seats, launch vehicles for artificial satellites, human spaceflight, and space exploration.
