The Space race is as a consequence of the Cold War.
The Cold war is a consequence of Josef Stalin
His success was based on a Hard Line Approach-mostly Hard Line within the Soviet Union
He continued this Hard Line policy with the West after WW2
(That was what he was good at -why change? He understood power based on raw fear)
The Cold War continued after the death of Stalin
The Space race was only possible because of access to Rocket technology -originally developed by the Nazis during WW2.
USSR and USA both had access this.
USA was caught with its 'pants down ' when on 4 October 1957
a artificial satellite named Sputnik was successfully launched by USSR
The Space race was now a reality
First points to USSR
The accomplishments of the Untied States in the space race was; the US. won against the Russians and was ahead of the game (Russia was no longer the upper spot in the world. Sadly Kennedy could not see his dream come to life he died a few years before it had happened.
NASA got started because the Russians launched Sputnik and were ahead of the US in space exploration. The US did not want to be left out of the space race and did not want the Soviet Union to steal a march on space exploration.
The impact of the space race was breif moment of relief and fear. Fear of losing the people who took flight to the moon and relief of that we deafeated the russians in an all time battle of freedom.
President Kennedy entered the US into the space race in 1961.
Russia and us the United States were Involved in the space race
That would be the Russians

Many people believe that the americans won it but that is not true. The US. was first to land on the moon but the russians were the first in space.

The USSR was seemingly more advanced than the Unites States and it stimulated, or made the US want to beat the Russians. ----
Sputnik was the first spacecraft put into orbit, and was done by the Russians during the "space race".It was important to America because we were in competition with the Russians and wanted to get there first.
Partnership. Just listen Russians and don't blame Russian International Space Station, you use it too.

With the Russians launch of sputnik, it awewd and worried the rest of the world. The US espeacially because if they could lauch a rocket into space then could they lauch nuclear weapons at us. so the race for being the country with the best advancements was on to have an advatage over everyone else so that if it came to war they would be prepared.
