The Space Race happened after the Soviet Union launched Sputnik and the USA felt challenged and announced a race to the moon.

The U.S.A won the Space Race after they launched Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong into space and onto the Moon!

CAUSES OF THE SPACE RACE

  • U.S. Felt challenged when Sputnik was launched
  • Many feared that the Soviet Union was emerging as the World Power
  • After Sputnik, The USA called for the Space Race to happen

EFFECTS OF THE SPACE RACE

  • More math and science programs
  • Government put in more money
  • More interest in Space Travel
  • More Interest in Space Exploring

My opinion is that instead of having the Space Race the U.S.A and U.S.S.R could have worked together to get to space.
