HELP! How has the space race developed?I have a research paper due and my topic is the space race. My teacher said that the 1st paragraph is about...

Okay, I would say Sputnik is how it started, so that's
good.

But then you should talk about people in orbit --
Yuri Gagarin and John Glenn, for example.

And then you need
to talk about JFK and his challenge that the US should get a man on the moon within the
decade in which he was speaking.  That decade was the '60s, of course, and the US got
men on the moon by July of 1969.  That really has to be in
there.

After that, you could talk about the space shuttles
and the space station and how the space race got more
cooperative.

You could talk a bit if you like about how
China has just put a man in orbit and is thinking about going to the
moon.
