The correct answer to this open question is the following.

I consider the United States space race of the 1950s-1969 against the Soviet Union as a failure?

Here is why.

In the times of the so-called Cold War, the Soviet Union had been the first to sent an artificial satellite into space, called "Sputnik." The date: October 4, 1957.

They had a clear advantage over the United States in the space race to the degree that this issue obsessed US President John F. Kennedy who ordered to invest millions of dollars to equal and pass the Soviet feat.

The federal government created a special agency, NASA, and spent millions of dollars trying to win the space race.

Under those conditions, it was not worth the cause.

Something totally different could have been if the US government had decided to invest and develop its space industry at its own pace. The problem here is that in thos Cold War days, the United States feared that this space advantage could represent a "war" advantage that had favored the Soviets.

Which group of people could freely immigrate to the United States under the immigration act of 1924
zaharov [31]

Both western europeans and latin american people could immigrate "freely" under that immigration act. The act was intended as a mean to limit the immigration of people whose ancestry was "non white", while increasing the number of "white" inmigrants to guarantee a more homogeneous population in the US. The first group of people was allowed to immigrate because many people living in the US came from the british islands, and in the case of latin american people, since they were a mixture of european and native american parents, they were considered as "white", too. People not allowed to immigrate under this act: asians and east europeans.
