The Space Race
Collins, Martin J. Space Race: The US-USSR Competition to Reach the Moon. Pomegranate, 1999.
This scholarly article in the Space Race: The U.S. – U.S.S.R. Competition to Reach the Moon, describes the timeline of events that made up the Space Race. It is intended for an audience interested in learning some general facts about the space race. With the inclusion of detailed pictures as examples of the items the author talks about, it gives the audience evidence of the innovation he refers to. He talks about the different significant events, from the first man in space, to the first spacewalk. With each event, he talks about different innovations that helped that mission succeed. I will use this source to help with my argument on innovation that came from the space race. This source is reliable because it was written by Dr. Martin Collins, a curator for the Space History Department of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.
Hardesty, Von, and Gene Eisman. Epic rivalry: the inside story of the Soviet and American space race. National Geographic Books, 2007.
This scholarly book explores the history of the space race, specifically focusing on the construction of NASA and the rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union. It is intended for an educated audience, interested in learning everything there is to know about the Space Race in relation to the competition between the two countries. The source includes information from the first rockets, attempting to reach orbit, all the way to the first moon landing in 1969. I plan on using this source to complete my historical context portion of my paper. It has very detailed information of both the United States and the Soviet Union’s first attempts at reaching space, explaining how Sputnik’s success won the space race for the Soviet Union, sparking the United States’ efforts to reach the moon before the Soviet Union. This is a credible source because it is written by Von Hardesty and Gene Eisman, both curators for the Division of Aeronautics at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.
Kennedy, John F. “The Moon Speech” Rice University Semi-Centennial Opening, 12 September, 1962, Rice University Stadium, Houston, TX. Address.
The “Moon Speech” at the Rice University Stadium by President John F. Kennedy, given on September 12, 1962 is a primary source which explains the United States’ intent during the 1960’s in relation to the space race. During the speech, JFK talks about where humans have been in relation to science and discovery. He then moves to talking about space, and the future opportunities it holds for the United States. He set the goal of reaching the moon by the end of the decade. A bold goal, that drove unrivaled innovation over a short period of time. This speech was intended for all the world, both those foreign and domestic, to convey the United States’ goals in the space race. This source is more convincing than any other source I have found. It is difficult to beat the power of a President’s speech to the American people. His credibility is unchallenged, as he holds the highest political office in the nation, with the power to influence the entire country’s opinion on space exploration.
National Aeronautics and Space Administration Staff. "The Apollo Missions." NASA. NASA, 16 Mar. 2015. Web. 8 Apr. 2017.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s collection of articles explores the Apollo missions and their details from 1967 to 1972. Each sub-article explores the specific Apollo Mission in depth, from mission goal, to mission success or failure. The details of these articles will help me develop my argument with facts from the Apollo mission’s successful landings on the moon. With these facts, my argument will be more believable and convincing. These articles were intended for public education as they are posted on NASA’s public domain. NASA itself wrote these articles, making them very credible. The details come “straight from the horse’s mouth” as one might say, since NASA launched these missions in the first place.
PBS. "Space Race Timeline." PBS. Public Broadcasting Service, n.d. Web. 8 Apr. 2017.
The “Space Race Timeline” is an article on the Public Broadcasting Service’s website that gives general information on the major events that occurred during the space race. It explores both the Soviet achievements as well as the United States’ accomplishments. It is an article intended to be viewed by students trying to learn more about the major events of the decade. I will use this resource to help give my audience an idea of when specific events took place in relation to one another, as well as describe their significance in the race. The source is credible as it is written by a government education group, held to a high standard of accuracy by the United States Congress, which provides its funding.
