The "Space Race" was important to Russia because they thought that if they could make it to space, they thought they could make more nuclear weapons. The United States and Russia were involved in the "Space Race", And the United states won.

The space race was so important because it made our understanding of space a lot more. The space race involved the u.s.a and the ussr. Each side claims to have won russia beat us into space but we beat them to make a man on the moon. The role that space expoloration could have is we could move onto different planets and have each planet run the way they want.

The Soviet Union launched Sputnik. The dog that they sent into space proved that humans could survive in space. The U.S also blasted one into space. To many Americans, USSR was the enemy. They got a lot of "the firsts". The first woman is space, the first 2-man group in space, etc. The USA was said to have won. The
Space Race was like a race to see who could achieve to land on the moon. Space might play a big role in world peace. Maybe all of the countries could team up and build a big mega-rocket together and send people into space.

the space race was so important because they didnt know what all could happen if another country went to space first, they were scared at what all could happen if a country had that much advanced technology they could posibly distroy another.
america, russia, and the ussr were all involved in this race, but America was the winner. America was the first country to put a man on the moon.

The "Space Race" was between the United States and the Soviet Union. Each country successfully proved that a human could surive in space. In addition the Soviet Union was thought by many to be the ememy. Even with the Soviet Union achieving many first's in space. The United States was said to have won the race. With the success of Neil Armsrongs landing on the moon in July 1969. Space holds the possiblity of countries achieving missile launch capabilties, with little warning for their intended target. In turn space could be instrumental in achieving a globle effort to send people into space. Also making space travel possible in the future, bringinng about economic prosperity for all. Thus insuring the possiblity of peace throught the world.
