Case Study.edited.docx CH410N Case Study: Space Race Contemporary History 410N What did it mean for the U.S. and USSR during the cold war? Many nuclear legacies from the Cold War can be found, such as the availability of new nuclear power and energy technologies, which created significant tension between superpowers, mainly because the U.S. and the Soviet Union contested the world's reign. The space race between the U.S. and the USSR exacerbated tensions between the two countries during the Cold War. Each country wanted to demonstrate its technological prowess by developing the most advanced aerospace capabilities, such as human spaceflight and uncrewed spacecraft. As a result of tensions in the United States following Russia's launch of the first artificial space satellite in 1957, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was established the following year (Duiker, 2015). Due to the intense rivalry between the two strong nations, each country's strategic defenses underwent significant changes during the Cold War. Is the space program still relevant? Today, the space program is essential because it demonstrates to the rest of the world which country has the best science, technology, and economic system. Following WWII, both the United States and the Soviet Union recognize the importance of rocket science. Even in modern days, the space program is still essential. In the contemporary age, private corporations have flocked to space exploration, collaborating with NASA to perf. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . .. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . .
