The Space Race

Reading the title would probably make you think of the cold war. Yes, we are studying the cold war in Social Studies and it's a really interesting unit to learn. Including in the cold war winning between the Soviet Union and the Americans are very important including the race for the space missions. So what we did in Social Studies was a very important event that happened in 1969 which is when America, first send the first humans to the moon. Our task was to debate if it was true or not. I was on the fake side, which we research on the internet for some arguments. We had many major ones and minor ones which an example is that there is only one source of light on the moon but there was two on a picture. There were no stars on most of the pictures. The debate went pretty awesome I think that we won.

Studying about space is really interesting to me because it's quite a fun and important event that happened and there many secrets to uncover also. I think that the space is huge which means that there will also be another life form living somewhere in another planet. Going to the moon is like the first step into the space of the human history. Later on there will be more landings and discoveries for sure. The cold war was like a competition for Americans and the Soviets because both of them wants to always be the number one nations, so an event to travel into space is also like a war.
