Space Program:
April 12, 1961 was the first time a human was sent into space. This project was launched by soviets. Kennedy saw this soviet advance in science as a challenge between capitalism and communism. He wanted to surpass the soviets by placing a man on the moon. With the drive of competition, the United States sent a man on the moon within a month. Americans also sent a satellite into space named the Telstar, which relayed television pictures across the world. NASA began constructing launch facilities in Florida and an admission control center in Texas. The Americans caught up to the Soviets in the space race, and national pride was restored.
Seven Years later, on July 20th 1969, the U.S watched astronaut Neil Armstrong take his first steps on the moon. As a result of the space race, space programs increased and universities advanced their science programs. Funding paid for new industries and technology.

i really liked the structure and information.
nice and brief. spelling and grammar are fine. conclusion wouldve been nice. learn to put correct label
Short and sweet. Very well summarized. I find it interesting how science only received more funding after the moon landing succeeded. Who knows what would've happened if it didn't. Overall, good job.
way to be brief and straight to the point. And you had some strong infromation in this summary and thats very important. But overall this was a very good blog
Great job being succinct and informative. This is really a fascinating aspect of the Cold War, so good job highlighting the key points.
This is a great informative article telling the Space Race. I love the fact you included the mind-sets of the president.
Brief but really great information on the Space Program. I did not know that it was actually the Soviets who started these programs. Great job.
Nice layout. You presented the information well and the picture completes the posting. Good job!
I thought that your posting was a little brief. There is a lot more to talk about than this I would assume. What you have is good, you could just elaborate more.
It's a classic picture that you put up, but it ended kind of abruptly
nice picture and great facts. this is a perfect example of a good blog. congrats.
Good use of the picture to illustrate your opening statement about the date US landed on the moon. Clear reasons for the space race, great job pinning both sides to what they believed in. I think you might have been able to talk a little about all the US failures in the space program, and the investment that we had to put into that program, because there were 100s of launches that simply failed. Overall great job however!
Nice and to the point. I like your picure
