How did this continue to create competition? 25wrightl https://padlet.com/25wrightl/zbugwhwhc2ipgrtp/wish/2134981689 The Soviet Union got to space first, but the Soviets made four attempts to make it to the moon and failed. The US was the first to make it to the moon successfully. ]]> 2022-04-07 16:58:48 UTC https://padlet.com/25wrightl/zbugwhwhc2ipgrtp/wish/2134981689 Who won the space race? How? 25wrightl https://padlet.com/25wrightl/zbugwhwhc2ipgrtp/wish/2135408603 The US won the Space Race because the Soviet Union tried to get to the moon 4 times and couldn't make it. The US landed on the moon first.]]> 2022-04-07 22:46:38 UTC https://padlet.com/25wrightl/zbugwhwhc2ipgrtp/wish/2135408603 How has the space race changed after the Cold War? List 3 ways. 25wrightl https://padlet.com/25wrightl/zbugwhwhc2ipgrtp/wish/2135409687
  • The US thought that they were falling behind.
  • It prompted other competitive countries to send unmanned space things to space. 
  • More competition was created between the US and the Soviet Union after the US won the space race.

This created a competition to get other stuff up into space like a shuttle. 

    * Next. they are trying to send a man to space which brought a huge competition between them who could be the first. This also brought in a lot of media attention.

    *The Soviet Union launched a space station which was a huge accomplishment because humans could now live in space. So, this made us want to try to compete by trying to make their own.

  • GPS made a big impact in the space race and is still making a big impact on our lives in the present. Most people who own cars use GPS in today's world.
  • Infrared ear thermometers are a NASA-derived advancement. They measure the amount of energy emitted by the eardrum in the same way the temperature of stars and planets is measured. At the present, artificial limbs have drastically improved using this technology.
  • Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors were developed for a NASA program in the 1970s. In the present, firefighting equipment widely used throughout the United States is based on NASA-developed lightweight fireproof materials.
