It was a competition to see who would dominate the exploration of space. The Untied States or The Soviet Union. It involved The United States And the Soviet Union. The United States was said to have won. Everyone wants to find out stuff about space.

The Space Race, which was between the U.S.S.R and the United States, was important because both countries were trying to prove who had more advanced technologies and power. The United States is said to have won because they were the first ones to land on the moon. The role that space might continue to play in achieving world peace is that countries are working together to learn more, instead of working against each other.

The space race was so important because the U.S.. wanted to be the first to accomplish something, BEFORE the Russians.
The United States DID win, we got to the moon before Russia even thought to go there! I'm not sure what role space could play in achieving world peace, but it would be cool if we could have all of our wars in space! then there would be a TON less damage! anywho, a part it could play in world peace is maybe gettin competitiveness out? cause i mean to keep having space races, to try to get to a new planet would be kind of cool... i don't really know i'm winging it here.

It was important because it was our way of beating russia & lead to more technical progresss. it was between russia & U.S. The U.S won. it could help world peace if we all have the same technology all of us could hurt eachother equally & if we know that we wont want to hurt anyone cause we would be putting U.S in the same amount of danger.

The "space race" was so important because the US wanted to get satellites up in orbit before the soviet union did because the US felt that if they get launch satellites in orbit successfully, then they'd possibly be able to launch missiles successfully! The "race" was again US & the Soviet Union. More in debt & more tax money out of the US's pocket.

The space race was so important because the U.S. was scared the the soviet union would get a satellite in space and then the could launch nukes too. It only involved the U.S. and the soviet union. They say that the U.S. won because hey had the first person to land on the moon. If the U.S. stays on top in the space world then peace can prevail like it has been.

During the 50's the U.S. and the U.S.S.R began a space race. They Each sent multiple trips to outer space. The race was very important because the U.S. was afraid that if the U.S.S.R could sent satallites to outerspace they would be able to send nuclear missals. The end of the race the U.S was said to have one because they were the first to land on the moon. As technology evolves spaces plays a big roll in world peace either it will band them together or the exploration of the unknown may continue.

The space race was a race between the USA and the USSR to get the farthest in space exploration. This was important because if the USSR could successfully get satellites into orbit, then they could possibly launch missiles at us. The US is said to have won because we were the first to get a man on the moon. The space race plays a role in achieving world peace today because in a way it unites all of us. We may be from different countries but we are all under the same sky(space) and are just trying to make discoveries about it.
