lying in the shadows of two world wars and the Great Depression of the world. The Space Race (1957-1969) between rising powers United Sates and the Soviet Union embodied the battle for world supremacy during the Cold War but took technology to the most significant heights in a shorter time than ever before in human history. On October 4‚ 1957‚ the Soviet Union (U.S.S.R) established the legitimate beginning of the space race. In the early 1930’s‚ Soviet military leaders showed intelligence in rockets

Outer Space By: Gabbie Sanchez Outer Space started about 100 kilometers above the Earth‚ but there is still part of the Earth’s atmosphere. Outer Space is the void that exists between celestial bodies including the Earth. In space‚ two pieces of metal can weld together with no heat or other substances present because It’s not completely empty but it’s consists of hard vacuum containing a low density of particles which is predominantly a plasma of hydrogen and helium as well as electromagnetic

Introduction A space suit is a garment worn to keep a human alive in the harsh environment of outer space‚ vacuum and temperature extremes. Space suits are often worn inside spacecraft as a safety precaution in case of loss of cabin pressure‚ and are necessary for extra-vehicular activity (EVA)‚ work done outside spacecraft. Space suits have been worn for such work in Earth orbit‚ on the surface of theMoon‚ and en route back to Earth from the Moon. Modern space suits augment the basic pressure garment

Name Course Instructor Date Militarization of Space Over time‚ it has become evident that space is an important arena for the military activities and ambitions of the world powers. The idea of war in space has moved from the area of science fiction based assumptions to become part of arms control and arms race discussions. Its estimated that about 75% of the total number of satellites in the earth’s orbit are mainly being used to carry out military activities like early warning‚ navigation

Some people think that government should spend as much money as possible on developing space technology for the exploration of the moon and other planets. Others think that this money should be spent on solving the basic problems of society on Earth. There are different views about what government should spend more money on. Some people believe that government should spend as much money as possible on space exploration‚ while some other people believe that it’s better to spend this money on solving

The space race was apart of the Cold War because some believed military installations would be developed in outer space; ultimately‚ impacting the result of the Cold War. Most importantly‚ many developments are direct results of space technologies. For example‚ LEDs‚ infrared ear thermometers‚ anti-icing systems‚ highway safety‚ video enchantments‚ firefighter gear‚ and much more (Jones‚ 2011). The moon landing itself did not provide resources‚ but the technology from the moon benefited the nation

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

Although many may think space exploration is a great thing and we should keep progressing in it‚ space exploration is a waste of time because of the medical effects to crew members‚ the countless money we spend on it‚ the environmental effects‚ and the dangers of the unknown universe. The medical effects space exploration has on crew members in space are endless
