Read about the Space Race. Then write a full-page essay about this historical event. Make sure to describe its purpose, its fina
ncial cost, its risks, and its benefits. Why did the United States and Soviet Union engage in the Space Race? In your view, were the benefits of the Space Race worth the risks and costs?
The Space Race was a period when the United States and Soviet Union
competed for technological advancements and scientific accomplishments.
This competition was a result of the Cold War that started after World
War II.
Exploring space during this era (late 1950's through the
beginning of the 1970's) was an unprecedented adventure for its time.
The world was shocked when the Soviet Union were able to launch Sputnik (
a satellite) into space. After this momentous accomplishment, the US
followed sending their own satellite into space several months later.
Both
of these countries took a significant risk, as their satellites,
spaceships, and other equipment could completely blow up. This would
result in the deaths of citizens. Along with this, they had to risk the
financial risk that this race caused. Each country poured in hundreds of
millions of dollars into their space programs over the course of 2
decades. If countries failed to achieve any breakthroughs, then this
money would have been wasted.
Despite the risks, this space race
had several positive effects on the world. This includes the
implementation of satellites that allow us to use GPS, the invention of
memory foam mattresses, and increased funding for public education.
Explanation: most big manufactures and distributors will organise their product line in a way that it get categorized by diffrent divisions.
This is to ensure that each division takes role in maintaining a certain product line and focuses solely on that product. The company may be a single brand but still produces different products . This allows the company to cater to individual customers who may not be interested in the overall product of the company but just particular products.
Most things before the 1800s (when wide industry became a thing) were produced by hand tools and basic machines. Almost anything that was bought before the 1800s was hand made.
In an examination of the relationship between SAT scores and college performance, your text authors note that one of the factors that may contribute to the appearance of a low correlation is <u>restriction of range</u>. Restriction of range occurs when observed sample data are not available across the entire range of interest. The impart of this on correlation is that when data have restricted range of score, it causes a reduction in correlation coefficient.
