Research Question: What were the effects of the Space Race and the Moon landing on diplomatic relations and their role in intensifying the ideological conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union throughout the Cold War? 5. One-Page Summary: In my investigation into the consequences of the Space Race and the Moon landing, my focus has been on comprehending the pivotal events, key individuals involved, and the aftermath of this momentous era. The central objective is to unravel the influence of these space triumphs on diplomatic ties and their contribution to the ideological tension between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War. My interest in this subject arises from recognizing the space
race as a significant geopolitical competition with implications that extend beyond scientific progress. Preliminary research indicates the necessity to delve into technological advancements, public perceptions, and the enduring repercussions of these space achievements. I am inclined towards a standpoint that highlights the transformative effect of the space race on global perspectives and power dynamics. Moving forward, my plan entails an in-depth analysis of primary sources, scholarly articles, and historical documents to construct a comprehensive argument for my research essay. 6. (i) Opposition Identification: Potential opposition may arise from individuals or institutions skeptical of the notion that space achievements had a substantial impact on diplomatic relations or that they justified the allocation of resources. Critics may contend that the Space Race exacerbated tensions rather than contributing to international stability. 6. (ii) Oppositional Arguments: Detractors may argue that the financial and technological resources dedicated to the Space Race could have been better utilized elsewhere. They might question whether the moon landing genuinely influenced diplomatic relations or if it was merely a symbolic triumph. Critics could also challenge the idea that these space achievements had a lasting effect on global power dynamics, emphasizing alternative factors within the realm of Cold War geopolitics.
