Most people agree that the space race ended on July 20, 1969, when Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon for the first time [source: National Air and Space Museum]. As the climax of space history so far, the lunar landing essentially squelched the heated competition between the United States and the USSR. But the story isn't opened and closed so quickly. Although the Americans put a man on the moon first, that triumph was fueled by a series of back-to-back accomplishments by the Soviets. All in all, the space race played out as a dramatic comeback for the United States starting in 1968, rather than a decisive victory.

Why the US won the space race?

Conclusion of the Space Race. By landing on the moon, the United States effectively “won” the space race that had begun with Sputnik's launch in 1957. For their part, the Soviets made four failed attempts to launch a lunar landing craft between 1969 and 1972, including a spectacular launch-pad explosion in July 1969.

<span>The primary reason why the US had become so incredibly divided to the point of no return by 1860 was because the US had expanded its territory so dramatically, and it had to be determined whether each new state was to be slave or free--practically dividing the nation in two. </span>

Which of these issues was addressed by the Carter administration?

podryga [215]

Answer:

<h2>Welfare reform</h2>

Explanation:

In his campaign, Jimmy Carter had frequently asserted, ""If I'm elected president, you're going to have welfare reform next year." He promised to replace the problems of the existing system with one that would encourage work and family life, and that would "reflect both the competence and compassion of the American people." In August, 1977, President Jimmy Carter announced his proposals for reforming the welfare system in the United States.

However, President Carter's plan did not win support in Congress, and in fact never received a vote in Congress.

So welfare reform most definitely was a key issue for the Carter administration and addressed by his administration, but his reform plans were not enacted into law.

Note: The same thing could also be said about tax reform. The Carter administration proposed tax reform legislation which also was rejected by Congress.
