well, i think it was. It is a good answer, my answer rate it good
Because the moon orbits the earth just like the satellites we send in space do.
space race
On 12th April 1961, The Soviet Union won the space race with the USA to get the first human in space when Yuri Gagarin was launched into orbit around the Earth in Vostok 1. NASA then sent the first men to the moon in 1969, when Apollo 11 landed on the moon. The Apollo 11 crew consisted of Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin.
The Apollo missions were started in the '60's during the Space Age. The goal was to send a man to the moon and collect samples for scientific study. This is what Neil Armstrong went to the moon for. There were 13 missions: the last one ended in a failure. Also, some others that I don't know failed as well.
Astronology is the study of the moon, stars and other objects in space.
the space race
the moon landing
The Space Race lasted from Sputnik's launch in 1957 to the Moon Landing in 1969.
Landing a man on the moon in 1969; the space race.
Atomic energy and the space race (the race for the moon).
The United States won the space race by landing Neil Armstrong on the moon.
The space race took place in the mid 60,s, and was the race to be the first to get to the moon, between Russia, and the United States.
In 1960 the "space race" began between the US and Soviets. Both worked to get to the moon first and in 1969 the US landed on the moon. The Soviets never have landed. The space race was just another outcome of the Cold War. The ability to launch a rocket has military advantages whether it has a payload for space or for military uses.
The biggest goal of the Space Race was to send people to the surface of the Moon. The US accomplished this, and put 12 people on the Moon, two at a time. The USSR did not send anyone to the Moon.
The space race was won by the United States when NASA successfully landed astronauts on the Moon as part of the Apollo missions in 1969. This achievement marked the end of the space race with the Soviet Union.
The USA won the space race when it landed American men on the moon in July 20, 1969.
The part of the space race to reach the moon first, ended when Apollo 11 landed on the moon, becoming the first manned-craft to do so.
