Space Race Outline

"We choose to go to the moon. 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." This quote was made by John F. Kennedy on September 12, 1962, and it encompasses the dedication the US had to winning the Space Race, a space technology race between the United States and Soviet Russia. The Space Race would soon become a huge competition led by many big factors and decisions. Overall, The Space Race started with the USSR's launch of Sputnik, an event which fueled nationalism in both countries, and ended with the United States landing a man on the moon.

Walking, that’s the original mode of transportation. The only things that could be moved are the things that can be carried and the furthest part of the world was the furthest part a human could walk to. Then came sailboats and wheels and the world was drastically changed forever. Everything changed. No one could walk on water so sailboats were the first things used to travel the rest of the world. There was more land and more water than anyone man could walk to. Sailboats helped with that. When someone arrives in those places how is he or she supposed to carry everything? That is when the wheel became so important. People had carriages and wagons and animals to pull those things which are on wheels. The entire world changed as transportation

The Impact of the Space Race on Modern America Since the beginning of time, man has been fascinated with the stars and their possibilities. The Mayans are very likely one of the most well known ancient astronomers. In the Mesoamerican culture, celestial events were thought to be a communication from the gods; this influenced their religious culture greatly. But the astronomical studies that really made the Mayans stand out, were the ones that they used to create a complex calendar system and a way to measure the passing of time.

Student tardy rates have significantly hindered their attendance at CSI zero period classes. This has affected student achievement levels, and the rate at which students are retained in the CSI program, thus leading to a high student retention rate in CSI from year to year. This also results in large CSI class sizes that are not beneficial to student learning. In addition, when interviewing CSI teachers, it is apparent that numerous attempts were made to communicate with parents and remedy the attendance problem, however students continued to show up late to school, or miss zero period completely.

How did the Space race improve society with their advanced technology? We know they had advanced in technology that wasn't here 50 years ago, but, how did technology built for space go in our everyday lives? One of the most obvious technologies that we created was Satellite Tv, this is one of the tech breakthroughs that we couldn't think of a life without to keep us entertained. The same goes for computers and laptops. The Space Race made satellites a possibility when they were used to communicate with astronauts before soon they made satellite dishes. NASA invented many pieces of technology that both benefited them in space and people at home watching TV, playing on their video games and even where I'm typing this on... the computer.

The space race was a race to see who could do more and get more done in space. It was done against the U.S and the USSR. The USSR was the first to make something orbit the Earth that was the spacecraft Sputnik I. In 1957 USSR launch the Sputnik I it took 98 minutes to make its orbit. It spend 21 days in space before it burned up in the atmosphere. The USSR later launched Sputnik II. It carried the first living thing in space a dog named Laika.The US was going crazy on how Russia has passed them in technology. Almost two years later the US made the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The USSR kept on making successful launches in may 1958 they launch Sputnik III which carried 2 thousand pounds to space. In April 1961 the USSR launched the Vostok I it had the first man to orbit the Earth his name was Yuri Gagarin. A month later the US had the first American to go to space his name was Alan Shepard.

The Space Race took place between 1957 and 1969, and some of the world’s most famous inventions were created, innovations that have changed the world ever since. In 1957, the U.S., after the Soviet Union launched their space satellite “Sputnik 1,” decided to launch their own satellite into space, “Explorer 1” (“The Space Race”). This was the kickoff of the decade long race between the two world powers for the control of the space. The Space Race illustrated the battle between democracy and communism, and the competition dramatically changed views on these leadership methods. The Space Race not only changed views on communism, but also led to enhanced and refined technology.

There isn’t much time for social area of their life such as interacting with friends, family, personal interest or they cannot stay focused as one is tired and starting to feel sleepy and they do not even have time to rest at all. To balance work with classes can cause a lot of problems for part-time students, no consultation time after the lecture to ask questions if a student does not understand the content, hard time to complete their homework, submit assignments very late, poor school performance which may result in poor grade at the end of the year. The number of part-time students dropped out or that are still struggling to finish is increasing day-by-day, because they face unique challenges that make it difficult for them to complete their

Throughout the twentieth century, space exploration and advancements allowed for the American dream to come to life. The space race, first man on the moon, and other space missions not only helped establish America’s opposing world power, but also acknowledged the fact that the United States encouraged its citizen and gave them a dream to aspire to as a nation. Space exploration achieved the American dream as the United States became a dominant world power and discovered new hopes for knowledge and peace which is emphasized by astronaut Neil Armstrong, President John F. Kennedy, and the first moon landing in 1969.

Soon after the ending of World War II, the United States had another battle to win: -- the Space Race. The Space Race was a competition of firsts against the Soviet Union. Which nation would be the first to have a man in space? Which nationality would take the first space walk? Who would be the first to have a man on the moon? These were the questions that swirled through the minds of Americans and Russians alike. After Russia took the lead, it was time for the U.S. to set out to do what seemed impossible— -- land a man on the moon. But before this began, Americans had some preparing to do. Gemini 9A was one of these preparations.

During the space race, both the US and the Soviet Union achieved a lot. Some say the US won the race because it landed the first human on the Moon but no one can take anything away from the USSR. Soviet accomplished a lot and had more “firsts” then the US until the US caught up. Both the US and the USSR won the space race.

Computer based learning, as it stands, has plenty of disadvantages, but many in business and educational arenas remain optimistic about its future. There are two indisputable truths about computer-based learning, or e-learning. First, it will revolutionize education and second, such a future is just around the block. Educational experts agree that most types of study are not yet effective when delivered purely online, mainly because of bandwidth limitations, expensive set-up costs, continued resistance to the medium and a shortage of quality course content.

As it is my second semester this course is best till now, the main reason I have selected this course is my tutor Dr. Anne kohnke, the way she teaches the class is impressive and definitely very kind heartened woman. Also in the first semester she taught us Enterprise Information Technology the framework made to work efficiently by giving good knowledge in that course.

Email exchanges - Either instructors or students should be able to initiate Email exchanges. Success is measured by the speed of the response, which should be "inside 24" or less than 24 hours. Circumstances dictate that there could be some delays, but these should not exceed 48 hours. Some courses notify students of the times during the day when they can expect more immediate responses. Of course, students
