I think that the space race effected the human exploration of space by the countrys fighting.Had the soviet union not put a man in space there would not have been wars and they would not have found out about space.i think the end of the space race helped us learn a lot more.

I think the space race would effect humans' by the loss of gravity. I think that if the Soviet Union hadn't sent someone into space, nobody would have ever gone. I think that the loss of the space race affected our exploration in space by taking away some of our information

The space race was only another way of saying "We're better than you- ha ha!" It probably served as something to urge us to get into space, an unknown area. If the Soviet Union did not launch a man into space, the US probably would have beat them to it. I think we have found a major interest point in space, but we are less motivated to get it done right now.

Instead of just racing against each other it helped us learn more about space and it kept pushing us forward to do more. If the Soviet Union did not put a man in space We probably wouldn't be so far in science with space. I bet the planets wouldn't be as much discovered. The end helped us belive that we can do more in space and keep resaerch and doing it.

I think that the space race people exploration of space by some country's fighting. I think that if the Soviet Union did not send the space craft is would have been a long time utile we went up in space and I think that the end of the space race affected our exploration of space by calming down the fighting and now understanding what we where capable of doing in space.
