The biggest rivalry between the two superpowers was the advancement in space technology. In 1952‚ the International Geophysical Year (IGY) was established in which scientists stated that in the time between July 1‚ 1957 and December 31‚ 1958‚ solar activity would be at a high point. The IGY made it so that both the US and the USSR became determined to be the first to reach space‚ and so the space race was born. During the space race‚ the USSR made many launches that were very advanced and superior

Space has been the most interesting concepts since the early ages and our curiosities about it have grown so much over time. With Apollo 11‚ Neil Armstrong became the first person to step on the moon. For many years of struggles and loss of lives‚ it has only lead to great discoveries but the sacrifices that were made will always be mourned and remembered. Even despite all the risks‚ it has led us to understandings and the truth yet there is so much to learn and it’s necessary and worthy for the

Space Exploration What is it and why is it important? Space exploration is scientific studies using scientific equipment in space and anything about it. There are different reasons why space exploration is important. We could discover new resources from other planets or the moon‚ other planets can be could be used when something happens to the earth and we need another place to stay on. Occupation Space exploration is a well-paid job because it could be very dangerous. You also

Debra Stadelman Mr. Willard Science and tech. 4th quarter project SPACE EXPLORATION Space exploration has been very important in human life. The first object in space was Sputnik 1 and it was launched by the U.S.S.R.in 1957. When sputnik was first launched it seemed as if it were to start a new war against the United States. But as the studied it more they realized that it was just a satellite circling the globe. That it meant us no harm. In 1958‚ launched by

Most of us have a sense of and curiosity about the places and spaces around us. Think‚ for example‚ of the place you call home. You are probably familiar enough with its streets and buildings and landscapes and with the people who inhabit these spaces‚ to make connections among them-you know how to “read” the place. There are many other places‚ however‚ where this is not the case. Most of you have had the experience of going somewhere new‚ where it is difficult to find your way around. You might

mid 1970s‚ the US and the Soviet Union‚ the two Cold War rivals‚ engaged in a Space Race‚ a fierce competition for supremacy in spaceflight capability. The Soviet Union achieved an early lead in the Space Race by launching the first artificial satellite into the space with Sputnik 1. The United States quickly followed suit three months later with the launch of Explorer 1. Unsatisfied with being the second to reach space‚ President John F. Kennedy set his sights for a much higher goal: the Moon. In

Nowadays‚ there are increasing interests in space research. Some urge that such research is a waste of money. While‚ others think the money spent on those research would rather be allocated to improve on lives on the Earth. I found myself disagreement with such point of view. First of all‚ it is obvious that the study will provide us more knowledge on other planets in terms of environment‚ lives and biology. Such knowledge might be further leveraged into the studies on different subjects‚ such as

Among those races is the race to the moon. Taking a back seat behind the nuclear weapon race‚ the Cold War‚ and various wars‚ the lunar landing shined like a diamond in the rough of history. From Sputnik and Yuri Gagarin to Explorer I and Apollo 11‚ these pinpoints in history are the origin of the

in outer space‚ there is also weather occurring? It is true. Although the space weather does not occur in the ways in which most people‚ those that are not scientists or astronauts‚ would think of. Space weather is the “turbulent and dynamic” outputs from the Sun. These outputs can be in the form of light or particles that are electrically charged. Our magnetosphere protects from much of these outputs‚ but it can still affect our satellites or other objects we have orbiting in space. Damage
