“This land [of South America] is very pleasing, full of an infinite number of very tall trees which never lose their leaves and

throughout the year are fragrant with the sweetest aromas and yield an endless supply of fruits, many of which are good to taste and conducive to bodily health. The fields produce many herbs and flowers and most delicious and wholesome roots that I fancied myself near the Terrestrial Paradise. What shall we say of the multitude of birds and their plumes and colours and singing and their numbers and their beauty? I am unwilling to enlarge upon this description, because I doubt if I would be believed. . . . We saw so many . . . animals that I believe so many species could not have entered Noah’s ark. We saw many wild hogs, wild goats, stags and does, hares, and rabbits, but of domestic animals, not one.”
—Amerigo Vespucci,

Describe how cold war tensions were intensified by the space race
zvonat [6]

The space race was the competition of space exploration between the United States and the Soviet Union. This reason intensified the cold war tentions because the Soviet union was the first to launch the first earth artificial satelite, putnik. It was a shock for the US experts and citizens who had hoped that their country would be the first one to accomplish that scientific advance first.

it was December of 1957 when the US first artificial satellite, named Vanguard, exploded on the launch pad. Finally, on January 31, 1958, the United States succeeded in launching its first satellite, the Explorer. The Explorer was still slighter than Sputnik, but its launch sent it deeper into space. The Soviets responded with yet another launch, and the space race continued.

From that moment it was all a competition to see who had better space and weapons programs. In the lates 1950s, the Soviet Union was by far the most superior in terms of technology.

To sum up, the launch of Sputnik fueled both the space race and the arms race, as well as to increasing Cold War tensions, as each country worked to prepare new methods of attacking the other.
