The Space Race during the Cold War

Cosmic competition in the Cold War era In the Cold War days, the space competition between the United States and Russia was intense. Whenever a country is one step ahead of other countries, one of the countries will catch up with the more advanced country at that point. In the early stages of space competition, the measure of success was what the state first did. For the American panic, every early adventure was realized by the Soviet Union. All of these incidents encouraged the United States to drive and catch up the Soviet Union.

After the Second World War, the United States and the Soviet Union became competing super powers. During the Cold War, the two countries indirectly faced arms race competition, space competition, government warfare, advertising activities. The purpose of this is to stop the spread of communism. In the 1960s, the wave of new social reform was enacted by forcing the constitutional voting rights and freedom of movement for African Americans and other minorities by the power of civil rights movement . The Cold War ended in 1991 when the Soviet Union officially dissolved, and the United States became the only superpower in the world.

During the Cold War, when the Soviet Union launched the first satellite Sputnik into space, new tensions increased. It shocked the United States and caused space competition between the two countries. Technical achievements of the space race include advanced weapons and equipment, the ability of humans to land on the moon, prosthetic appliances, water purifiers and satellite TV. President John F. Kennedy backed a lot of efforts during the presidency of the United States, including easing tension in the Cold War era, promoting space planning, securing citizenship. But with his assassination, the majority of his efforts suddenly became a problem. Fortunately, his successor, Linden Johnson, helped promote his vision and Johnson used Kennedy's legacy as a way to push Congress through civil rights law and fund NASA. Therefore, the greatest impact of the assassination of Kennedy may be the continuation of the Vietnam War.

During the Cold War from 1947 to 1991, the Soviet Union (USSR) and the United States participated in the space exploration advantage competition, and space exploration was called space competition. After August 2, 1955, the Soviet Union decided to launch the satellite four days after announcing the launch of the United States, space competition began. The Soviet Union broke America in the launch and became the first country to send humans to the universe. Despite these failures, the United States has completed its mission to become the first Apollo 11 mission to successfully land on people.
