1 Waugh 1 Alex Waugh Mrs. Hermes AP US History 14 November 2013 We Choose To Go To The Moon: The History Of The Space Race History would remember the Space Race as a global competition between the US and the Soviet Union for dominance in space exploration. The scientists and leaders during this period would remember it as a great responsibility to be the first into space, and underline its rights and principles. The Space Race went much deeper than simply being a scientific competition. It would go on to be a cultural, political, and social movement that would have a tremendous impact on the Cold War. Gaining dominance in space was not just beneficial by experimental means, but also important to national security. The American Way of being the first and best was in jeopardy, and it was up to a newly formed space agency in NASA to preserve it. In this sense of urgency to defeat the Soviets to space, the entire United States felt the responsibility to claim space dominance. As World War II came to an end in Europe, the Space Race was just beginning. After bringing German rocket scientist Werner Von Braun to the United States, the Americans started their program. In response to this public acquiring of the ex-nazi scientist, the Soviet Union picked Sergei Korolev to head their space program. Years of rocket test launches and research would pass before any major achievements occurred. The Soviets, lead by Korolev, were first to launch a rocket with enough power to launch an object into orbit in early Mixed with anger and jealousy, von Braun urged the United States to increase the funds for his project to a launch a rocket into space. With a higher budget, his response was the Jupiter-C.
2 Waugh 2 The public appeal towards these programs was not met with much popularity until October 4 th This day will go down as the true start of the Space Race. It was the launch of the Soviet Sputnik 1 that would shock the American people and send a bold message to their scientists. The enraged and stunned Americans, lead by President Eisenhower, quickly began to jumpstart their space program. On January 31, 1958 the United States launched the Explorer 1 into space. The US government passed the National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958 soon after. This act declared the Preservation of the role of the United States as a leader in aeronautical and space science technology (NASA). With this act passed, the responsibility of having a nation built behind science, math, and technology was clearly defined. The Space Act also enforced the Cooperation by the United States with other nations in the peaceful application of space research (NASA). This would be a major point in the later years of the Space Race. As the accomplishments mounted up with almost no advantage to either side, President Kennedy intervened. His goal to break the deadlock was based on one thing only: The Moon. Kennedy stressed the responsibility of his people in his famous We choose to go to the moon speech at Rice University. On September 12, 1962 John F. Kennedy persuaded the audience in Houston to back the Space Race. He declared, We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too (Kennedy). Kennedy s speech was met with much applaud and with NASA officially being initiated, the road to the moon was in sight. The Soviets, on the other hand, were
3 Waugh 3 beginning to lower their space funds. Dominance in space could finally be achieved by the Americans. In order to put a man on the moon, NASA launched the Apollo program in the early 1960 s. The program called for a three-man team that would fly to the moon. The program s first mission, Apollo 1, was a complete disaster. A fire in the cockpit killed all three crewmembers. The next few missions went much more smoothly. After ten missions, it was finally time to go to the moon. On July 16, 1969, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins set forth on Apollo 11. After a perfect launch, the astronauts spent three days traveling into the moon s orbit. After orbiting the moon 30 times, Armstrong and Aldrin descended from the Lunar Module and landed on the moon. Neil Armstrong was the first human to set foot on the moon s surface. Back on earth, America was in celebration. Kennedy s dreams had come true and it had seemed that the United States had won the Space Race. In 1972, the Apollo program came to a close. Since then, not one person has been to the moon. The United States were the first and only nation to land there. America did not claim any land on the moon and although there is an American flag there, they never will. Having the upper hand in space exploration could give a country dominance in this frontier but instead, the U.S. decided to lie out the rights and restrictions in space. Two years prior to the lunar landing, the United States, Great Britain, and Soviet Union joined forces to sign the Outer Space Treaty. The treaty represents the legal aspect of space. It forbids any government from owning an outer space resource such as the Moon or a planet, claiming that they are the common heritage of mankind. Even after NASA astronauts stepped foot on the moon, the treaty was still respected. Since 1967, over a hundred nations have signed the treaty.
4 Waugh 4 As a result of the Space Race, outer space has been set up for peaceful exploration and travel for years to come. Many people will wonder if the Space Race really did achieve anything that impacts life on earth. In fact, the Space Race s main accomplishment comes in the lines of the common heritage of man. With the Cold War still in full throttle and communism still looming, people with different ideas, religions, and ways of life were able to work together and preserve the right of a vast unknown place known as outer space. It was this idea that even a nation like the United States is equal to all other nations in space that would make the race to space an important achievement for the development of humanity.
