The space race is important because it shows the competitive nature between humans. it is a race between Russia and america to reach (get a man on) the moon. the race was stared when russia launched a satellite called sputnik in 1957, the americans thought this could destroy them (by launching missiles from space) and the race for space started.
The launch of the Soviet satellite Sputnik in 1957 is often considered the event that sparked the space race between the US and Russia. This was the first artificial satellite to be put into Earth's orbit, signaling the beginning of the space age and prompting a sense of competition between the two superpowers.
The space race began in 1957 with the launch of Sputnik 1 by the Soviet Union and ended in 1975 with the joint Apollo-Soyuz Test Project between the United States and the Soviet Union.

The space race was a competition between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War to explore outer space. This rivalry led to significant advancements in space technology and culminated in the first human landing on the moon by NASA in 1969.
