Both sides settled on race to the moon and the U.S made it their goal to reach it before the Soviets did. But because the space race was all the rage, the U.S government used most of their money and recourses on the space program. The down side to this was all the negative effects it had on their citizens. Poverty percentage was high, too high if you want to call…

Furthermore, I would like to discuss the competition between the Soviet’s and Americans, the basic facts of the mission, and lastly President Kennedy’s view on this mission that he had…

The launch of Sputnik did give the Soviets a lead, but The U.S. quickly answered back with the expedited launch of their satellite, the Explorer 1. Now that the U.S. had realized that they were behind, they began making major strides in the field of space exploration. The first change that thy made was creating the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and immediately after creating the…

NASA is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. They are the U.S. government agency responsible for science and technology related to air and space(Dunbar, NASA.gov).

discoveries was the augmentation of the knowledge of the mysterious concept known as space. United States was not the only country to embark on the acquisition of this knowledge; the Soviet Union was also seeking to gain information on space before the United States could. In fact, the repeated cycle of subduing each other in this endeavor during the decade coined the 1960’s as the Space Race.

The U.S. is working on multiple projects as of now to be able to go to Mars, but the entire program is just focusing on going to Mars now. There are no funds to go into space anymore, and if Americans want to go into space they have to send astronauts to Russia. Sending our astronauts to Russia for them to send the men into space will only cost…

classify things based on their own behavior and belief of the world. Both the concept of space and race may play hand to hand due to the different perspectives of the definition of space and both can be methods of classification. Michel de Certeau explores the difference between space and a place while Professor David Torres-Rouff described the history of Los Angeles and how it has evolved through time. Space and race are two different subjects, but both play hand to hand and can create and…
