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 occurs during disequilibrium? check all that apply
Luda [366]
Disequilibrium occurs in the stock market when the market price of any given stock is not at equilibrium. It often occurs when supply exceeds demand. In simple English, the company who issued the stock (or shares) has issued more shares that what stock brokers want to buy. So the price of per share will drop. Another example of disequilibrium occurs in the Currency market. The price of the US Dollar, as opposed to the Japanese Yen, is seen to be in equilibrium when there is equal supply and demand of each currency. Disequilibrium occurs when the one currency is in less demand than the other currency. This results in the price of one currency dropping lower than the price of the other currency
