Space research had a dual purpose: it could be used for peaceful purposes, but could also contribute to military objectives.Дў The two superpowers worked to gain an advantage in space research, without knowing who would give the leap first. Along with other aspects of the arms race, progress in space was shown as an indicator of technological and economic capacity, demonstrating the superiority of the ideology of the country.

Much of the technological development required for space travel applied equally to war rockets such as intercontinental ballistic missiles. The same rockets that could put into orbit a man or reach any point of the Moon could send an atom bomb to a city any enemy. The equipment on Board of satellites could spy on other countries, while the space achievements served as propaganda to demonstrate the scientific capacity and a country's military potential. Space exploration and satellite technology fed the cold war on both fronts. The cold war In 1945, after the second world war, United States and the Soviet Union embarked on a bitter cold war of espionage and propaganda. But the emergence of this aircraft as a historical event, but rather as a small technological advancement at a time which is not yet ready to do so, in contrast to the fact that man first put his foot on another celestial body can not be considered. It first flew on April 9, However, despite the time that has elapsed since then, supersonic commercial aviation has yet to prevail in our civilization. From another perspective, it could be said that the supersonic airliner Concorde was ahead of the story. Otherwise, perhaps was carried out with a certain delay facing what then would have been normal. The CristГіbal ColГіn journey, with connotations similar to the astronauts of Apollo 11, was not ahead of the historical events of the time. It is not often that things like this happen. The first trips of the man to the Moon, the Apollo missions, constitute a historic event that apparently has been moved forward in a century to the normal course of history, especially in what refers to the space age and scientific progress. It's really amazing that reaching the Moon more than 40 years ago and not be think again at least in the short term until at least mid this century. You showed is that when there is political will and desire to do things well human beings can get anything difficult this will be. All that waste of media had a great impact on the industrial and technological field, but above all, constituted a historical fact that came in at least one century to the normal course of history. At that time the national and political prestige of the two superpowers was at stake and space technology was the best letter of introduction to the world of the capitalist or Communist supremacy, therefore nobody spared efforts in order to reach the goal. The space race was a technological competition between the Soviet Union and United States, which had as main objective the moon.
