Respuesta :

Answer:

A) The Space Race was between these two countries: the US and the Soviet Union, the two global superpowers of the time.

B) It began in the 1950s when the Soviet Union launched into space a satellite named Sputnik. The Sputnik was the first ever man-made object that successfully entered and orbited in space.

D) At the beginning of the Space Race, the Soviet Union was winning, completing many accomplishments, such as sending the first man to space (though not on the moon), the first dog to space, etc.

I do not believe C is the correct answer, as many Americans did in fact pay attention to the space race, and constantly looked out for sources regarding the space exploration and 'race'.
