Manned Space Exploration From Start to Gemini

The Space Race USA & Soviet Union were allied to defeat Hitler during WWII. USA & Soviet Union were allied to defeat Hitler during WWII. Germany had all good rocket scientists. Germany had all good rocket scientists. Once we defeat Hitler, we take ½ & USSR takes ½ of the rocket scientists so we can make bigger, better weapons. Once we defeat Hitler, we take ½ & USSR takes ½ of the rocket scientists so we can make bigger, better weapons. Cold War starts at the end of WWII. Cold War starts at the end of WWII. Arms race starts between US & USSR Arms race starts between US & USSR Click on the picture to follow link to You Tube

USSR Takes the Lead USSR takes the lead by: USSR takes the lead by: 1 st Satellite in space – Sputnik 1 st Satellite in space – Sputnik 1 st living thing in space – Laika the dog 1 st living thing in space – Laika the dog 1 st person in space & to orbit – Yuri Gagarin 1 st person in space & to orbit – Yuri Gagarin

US Plays “Catch Up” We get rocket scientist Werner Von Braun from Germany after WWII We get rocket scientist Werner Von Braun from Germany after WWII JFK establishes NASA – JFK establishes NASA –National Aeronautics and Space Administration Our rockets are unreliable – explode often

We decide to go.. Kennedy makes his famous speeches Kennedy makes his famous speeches
