	Space Race
		For over a decade, the United States and the Soviet Union were engaged in a heated competition—the space race.
		The space race began in 1957 when the Soviet Union launched the first artificial satellite, Sputnik.
		NASA is the federal agency devoted to exploring space.

		The S.P.A.C.E Race and Health Fair is a fun event for the entire family, students, University faculty, local musicians/artists and all those interested in helping a great cause.
		Although serious runners are encouraged to participate, the key to the success of the Space Race is the involvement of casual joggers and walkers, and people who do not ordinarily run in 5Ks.
		This year's race will also include teams of survivors of suicide and their loved ones; people are encouraged to walk as a group in memory or in honor of someone.

	Chronology of space exploration
		Since the end of World War II in 1945 and until its collapse in 1991, the Soviet Union was engaged in fierce military, economic and political competition with the United States -- a historical process known as the Cold War.
		One of the crucial battles of this conflict was the Space Race, which started in 1957 with the launch by the USSR of the Earth's first artificial satellite.
		Since the beginning of the Space Age and until the dissolution of the USSR in 1991, Soviet and American scientists sent fleets of robots to explore deep space and to reach other planets.

	Space Race
		Also around this time, the field of participants in space exploration was widened to include the emerging space powers of Japan, China, India, and the European space agency, which diluted the intensity of the previous head-to-head contest between two superpowers.
		Along with the slowdown in the space race, the space programs of the United States and the Soviet Union took a divergent paths in the 1970s, each, despite the slower pace, accomplishing important goals.
		Once the space station is operational, six astronauts at a time will be able to spend periods of three to five months each there while conducting scientific research.

	The Space Race - Von Braun and Korolev (and the Apollo Project)
		When it came to the race to put an artificial satellite into orbit the government decided that they did not want to use the Redstone because of its military history and so the Navy was asked to develop a new rocket to achieve the goal.
		As the Marshall Space Flight Center started to operate at full potential Alan Sheppard became the first American in space on May 5 1961 (all be it a sub-orbital flight) and on Feb 20 1962 John Glenn, aboard Mercury 6, became the first American in orbit.
		Immediately the Marshall Space Flight Center, under the direction of von Braun, began the development of the soon to be famous Saturn V rockets while elsewhere in NASA development of the Apollo Command Service Module and the Apollo Lunar Module began.

		Space seemed very close; at one point tickets to the moon and to as-yet-non-existing space stations were being sold.
		Space travel beyond Earth's orbit became the exclusive domain of mankind's robotic explorers, and high-profile tragedies both reaching and returning from orbit provided sobering reminders of the risks of space travel.
		While not actual space travel, the weightlessness experienced in orbit can be duplicated (for durations of less than a minute at a time) with a calibrated parabolic aircraft flight, which alternates low g-forces at the heights of its arcs with high g-forces at the bottoms.

	Space Race - Introduction
		The Military Origins of the Space Race are reflected in the rivalry to build rockets powerful enough to send nuclear warheads across the ocean, loft satellites into Earth orbit, or carry humans to the Moon.
		The spectacular public feats by the men and machines of two countries Racing to the Moon and Exploring the Moon thrilled the entire world with the enduring "firsts" of space exploration.
		A number of declassified paintings from the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) are on display in the Space Race exhibition space.

		The second reason is that many nations and corporations view space as the “new world.” Gold on asteroids, water and helium-3 on the moon, magnesium, cobalt, and uranium are believed to be on Mars.
		If citizens can be convinced that their nation must use space technologies to “protect them” from enemies, real or imagined, then this investment in space technology can also be used to create the infrastructure that will allow these same aerospace industries to lead the way in mining the heavens.
		A new arms race in space is not in the interest of the Japanese or American people, or anyone else around the world.

	The Outer Space and Moon Treaties and the Coming Moon Rush
		The race would not be a sprint, like the cold war race to the moon, but rather a marathon.
		The race would begin when other spacefaring nations decide not to let the instigating country take an uncontested lead in the technologies and capabilities associated with a massive space power capability.
		Obviously many technical challenges remain to be overcome before that much of the system can be manufactured in space and it must be acknowledged that the cost estimates in these studies were carried out based strictly on mass consideration without regard to technology development and production costs.

		Despite Western theorizing about space challenges — a new moon race or even a military conquest of the heavens — the most plausible rationale for the Shenzhou program appears to be what Chinese leaders have always stated.
		There is no new space race, but China clearly intends to wind up as a winner.
		The document highlighted space activities as a key element "in the modernization drive of countries all over the world," and declared that China "has all along regarded the space industry as an integral part of the state's comprehensive development strategy." Specific unmanned applications such as satellites have been deployed to provide cost-effective services.
