when the Soviet Union launched the first man-made satellite, sputnik, the us became fearful of the soviet's technological abilities so the us federal govt pumped a lot of money into science, math and gifted education programs. we responded with our own man-made satellite, thus starting the tit for tat race to space.
Because the space race was a theoretical race, winning would be a matter of opinion. I consider that America "won" this race when the Astronauts of Apollo 11 were the first people to set foot on the moon on July 20, 1969. Many events happened following this historical event which led to the people of the world being the ultimate winner based on the use of satellite communication systems of today.
1. What were the expected results of each country's space exploration efforts? 2. Has mankind progressed or profited in any way as a result of our moon exploration? 3. What countries were involved in the space race? 4. Who won the space race? Explain your answer.
It helped with job growth
That capability indicate that the US was well behind in the Space Race.
The goal was to get man on the moon by the end of the decade
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 launch of the Soviet satellite Sputnik 1 in 1957 marked the beginning of the space race between the United States and the Soviet Union. This event alarmed the United States and led to increased efforts to catch up in space technology and exploration.
