The space raceNASANational Aeronautics & Space Administration, also known as NASA. NASA is the United States agency for aeronautics and aerospace research, created in 1958 by former President Dwight David Eisenhower. NASA's purpose was to explore space in a peaceful, non-military manner, and the agency was operational on October 1, 1958. Before 1958, NASA was called NACA, National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. Since the moon landing in 1972, NASA has not launched a major space program. For now, NASA supports the International Space Station, but it is reportedly working on a new project that will take humanity further into space than we've ever seen. The goal is to land a human-controlled space rocket on Mars, but so far the technology isn't good enough. The beginningsThe space race began in the 1950s. It was the two countries, the Soviet Union and the United States, that fought to become the first in space. The Soviet Union was the first to go into space with the launch of the artificial satellite Sputnik 1 on October 4, 1957, which meant that the United States had to hurry if it did not want to be left behind in the race to space. 'space. The breed dates back to the 1930s and World War II. At the time, Germany was the leading power in rocket and missile technology. When Germany lost World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union got their hands on a phenomenal German scientist and some truly advanced rocket technology. Germany was more innovative in its rocket science, so the United States and the Soviet Union were very happy to obtain much-needed information. The United States has captured one of the world's best rocket scientists, Wernher Von Braun. T...... middle of paper ......ty. Who hasn't wanted to know what's on the other side of the hill? What child hasn't been inspired to explore beyond the familiar neighborhood streets? Finally, humans have, since the first civilizations, built monuments. Humans want to leave something behind to show the next generation, or generations after them, what they made of our time here. It's the impetus behind cathedrals and pyramids, art galleries and museums. ConclusionTo summarize The Soviet Union won the space race by sending the first man-made object and the first man into Earth's orbit. Then the United States won the space race in the area of ​​taking a human's first steps on the Moon, right? Many theorists believe the moon landing was a key piece. Whether they did it or not, people, especially Americans, are very curious about what's going on there..
