The Space Race was like a big competition between two teams, and it made some cool stuff happen. The United States and the Soviet Union tried to see who could do more amazing things in space, like sending people to the moon or launching satellites. Because of this race, we got inventions like the Internet and GPS today!
Examples
- GPS was born from satellites, which started with the Space Race.
- Modern smartphones have their roots in the Space Race, because scientists had to make tiny, powerful computers for astronauts.
