The Space Race
The Space Race0The Space Race was a defining element of Cold War rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union, lasting from about 1955 to 1975. It was driven by more than curiosity ? it symbolized technological dominance, national pride, and military potential.

Tensions escalated after the Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite, on Oct. 4, 1957. The achievement alarmed Americans, who feared Soviet advances in missile technology. In response, the U.S. created NASA in 1958 and boosted investment in science and education.

President John F. Kennedy later declared that sending a man to the moon would prove American determination and skill, eventually leading to the Apollo 11 moon landing on July 20, 1969. The space race began to cool around 1970. In 1975, U.S. and Soviet scientists cooperated on the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project, setting a precedent for future collaborative space efforts.

Today, countries like China, India, and Japan play major roles in space exploration. More recently, SpaceX¡¯s partnership with NASA has been pivotal to the field, though tensions between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk have raised concerns about future U.S. programs.
