The Cold War pretty much jumpstarted the space race between the Soviet Union and the US. For anyone who doesn't know, the the Cold War was basically an "anything you can do I can do better" between the two countries. They tried to outdo each other in both weapons (arms race) and space exploration (space race). Because of this competition, both countries made significant accomplishments that might have taken them longer to if they hadn't been trying to outdo each other.
