Both America and the USSR improved space and rocket technology. The Soviets got to space first, but America got to the moon first. America would've won if it was an actual race.
They were not prepared they got beat by Russia in the space race they didnt have enough fuel to get high enough to the moon or mercury (not even mercury) they lost pretty bad
No..The Russians launched "Sputnik" into space on October 4th, 1957 before anyone else got into space.
Because America was paying your mom for sex and Russia found out and got mad
During the cold war, America and Russia were both afraid of each other because of the increasing numbers of nuclear weapons each was producing at that time. Each was afraid that the other would have an advantage if they got to the moon first and set up missle bases to attack the other, so each country was in a "space race" to get there first. This scared the &^%$#%^&* out of the Russins when the Americans got there first in 1969.
alisha says that he was shoot into space in america
Laika was a street dog wich got captured on the streets they trained her with two other dogs but she was choosen she died sevral hours after she was launched into space she also came from Russia
the u.s. and the u.s.s.r (russia) were in this thing called the space race. so far, the u.s. was losing. If the u.s.s.r. got to the moon first, it would put the u.s. to shame.
in Russia then the got kicked out and moved to south america,but they were threatened to leave then they went to north America and scattered.
landing on the moon is a multi billion dollar project. fact of the matter is that the worlds space organizations simply cant affoard to go to the moon again. the only reason America got to the moon in the first place was because they wanted to beat russia to the prize.
the russians had the idea of going into space. so they shot a rocket into orbit. it was unmanned but not robotic. america saw this and did the same soon there was a space race, whoever got to the moon first. then the cold sprang up to prevent the enemy faction from getting to the moon. it was 1961 to 1969 when american astronaut neil armstrong set his foot on the moon.
Sputnik, the first rocket into space many things to do with space: they got the first person into space the first satellite to launch into space the first orbit around the earth the first living being into space the first woman into space etc.
