The space race was a stimulus for scientific research, since the problem of space travel, or landing on the moon, is basically a scientific and engineering problem. To a large degree, the advanced technology of the 21st century got its start in the space race.
The development of new materials and engineering techniques, such as lightweight metals and composite materials, were advanced as a result of the space race. Additionally, advancements in computer technology, particularly in miniaturization and processing power, were driven by the needs of the space race to control spacecraft and analyze data.
computer miniaturization
because America was so focused on beating the Russians, and furthermore proving that capitalism was better than communism, we began investing unprecedented amounts of money into research and technoligical advancements. As a result, technologies that we take for granted today, like cell phones, ipods, even under armour material, would not exist.
The launch of the first artificial satellite, Sputnik 1, by the Soviet Union on October 4, 1957 marked the beginning of the Space Race.
The space race was between the America's and the Russian's. Each side sent up many missions but nearly all of them failed. The Russian's were first into space but in 1969 the America's landed the first two men on the moon and therefore winning the space race.

The Space Race was a technology race in the 1950s and 1960s between the USA and the USSR to outdo the other in space-related advances. The most dramatic result of this was the first moon landing, in 1969, which effectively ended the race.
