They wanted to show that they had an advantage they could use to attack the other. 25schumachern https://padlet.com/25schumachern/ytjf63hpok3bv2zh/wish/2135159590 2022-04-07 18:48:14 UTC https://padlet.com/25schumachern/ytjf63hpok3bv2zh/wish/2135159590 This is what started the Space race and showed that the Soviets had incredible technology. The US not wanting to be out done started sending there own spacecrafts into space. 25schumachern https://padlet.com/25schumachern/ytjf63hpok3bv2zh/wish/2135164679 2022-04-07 18:51:21 UTC https://padlet.com/25schumachern/ytjf63hpok3bv2zh/wish/2135164679 NASA was formed to further space developments. NASA only worked on how they can beat the soviets and prove to them that they are better. NASA is still a thing to this day and is doing many projects advance humanity even more. 25schumachern https://padlet.com/25schumachern/ytjf63hpok3bv2zh/wish/2135167980 2022-04-07 18:53:39 UTC https://padlet.com/25schumachern/ytjf63hpok3bv2zh/wish/2135167980 It was so important because it seemed like what he was saying was impossible. Getting a man to the moon was unheard of and the technology you would need is crazy. The Apollo missions started to carry out missions to get people to the moon. 25schumachern https://padlet.com/25schumachern/ytjf63hpok3bv2zh/wish/2135169308 2022-04-07 18:54:33 UTC https://padlet.com/25schumachern/ytjf63hpok3bv2zh/wish/2135169308 The US won the space race. They were able to get a man to the moon first. 25schumachern https://padlet.com/25schumachern/ytjf63hpok3bv2zh/wish/2135171884 2022-04-07 18:56:13 UTC https://padlet.com/25schumachern/ytjf63hpok3bv2zh/wish/2135171884 After the cold war was over the US stopped funding their space agency because they were the world's sole super power. They had no more competition so this now led space development to slow down drastically. There are now no more competitions between countries rather they are working together. 25schumachern https://padlet.com/25schumachern/ytjf63hpok3bv2zh/wish/2135172379 2022-04-07 18:56:33 UTC https://padlet.com/25schumachern/ytjf63hpok3bv2zh/wish/2135172379 It led to more investments in each other's space programs to try and beat the other. It also brought tons of new technologies to try and show superiority. Lastly it prompted the US and Soviets to send many things into space like satellites and people. 25schumachern https://padlet.com/25schumachern/ytjf63hpok3bv2zh/wish/2135172944 2022-04-07 18:56:58 UTC https://padlet.com/25schumachern/ytjf63hpok3bv2zh/wish/2135172944 The space race gave us solar panels which is now becoming one of the worlds biggest sources of energy. They gave us weather resistant airplanes which helps a ton if the weather starts to become bad while people are flying mid air. Gave us artificial limbs which are way more accurate than humans and can help out a ton. 25schumachern https://padlet.com/25schumachern/ytjf63hpok3bv2zh/wish/2135173468 2022-04-07 18:57:21 UTC https://padlet.com/25schumachern/ytjf63hpok3bv2zh/wish/2135173468
