Answer 2

The correct answer is the third one: lead its own space program.

NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration ) was created in 1958, one year after the launching of the Sputnik, the first artificial satellite ever made that was put in orbit by the Soviet Union. This advanced move into space exploration by the USSR pushed the United States in the same direction and was the first step of the space race between the two superpowers. The main objectives of the space program NASA were to explore the space, to put satellites in orbit with military and telecommunication goals, and to conquer the Moon. These goals were achieved during the following decade, crowning the main purpose of its space program in 1969, when NASA put the first men on the Moon.
