They were meant to protect people from missile attacks.
Describe in your own words what a satellite means.
an object that orbits another object in space.
What was the main idea of Vostok 1 (Yuri Gagarin’s space mission)
He was meant to be the first person in space and also the first person to orbit the earth.
compare and contrast the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan.
The Truman doctrine was made to stop the spread of communism, while the Marshall Plan did the same, but also gave aid to the countries that were suffering from the outcome of WWII.

The first sputnik was sent to space just to orbit the earth and also for getting scientific data. The second sputnik carried a dog in it which was supposed to orbit the earth for seven days.
Compare and contrast the Sputnik-2 mission and Vostok-1 mission.
Sputnik-2, launched in 1957, focused on studying the effects of space on living organisms, carrying a dog, Laika, into orbit, while the Vostok 1 mission in 1961, aimed to send humans into space, culminating in the first human orbit with Yuri Gagarin.

The space race would have been avoided, and the Cold War might have gone on way differently.
What would the world be like if the space race never took place during the Cold War?
Without the intense competition, the development of technologies like satellite communication, computer science, and materials science might have been slower, and there wouldn’t be any casualties because of not enough safety during the space programs.
