Essential Question How was the space race related to the Cold War?

When did the space race start? October 4, 1957 – Soviet scientists launched the world’s first space satellite - SPUTNIK Americans are both surprised and frightened The Soviet Union, a nation which had nuclear weapons, now had a satellite orbiting space

What else did the Soviets do? April 12, 1961 – Soviet Union launches the first spacecraft into orbit - VOSTOK Soviet YURI GAGARIN became the first human to travel into space The Soviet Union had successfully launched the first satellite and spacecraft

Why did this create the space race? The world’s two superpowers – the United States and the Soviet Union were now in competition with each other to conquer outer space “I believe that this nation should land a man on the moon and return him safely to the earth.” President JOHN F. KENNEDY promised that the United States would have a man on the moon before the 1960s were over

How did the US respond? July 20, 1969 – Americans Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walk on the moon – APOLLO 11, “The Eagle” “That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind”

Why worry about outer space? The race for space had its roots in military uses Before Sputnik was even launched, both the US and the Soviet Union had plans for reconnaissance satellites (spy satellites)
