As we all know and hopefully are aware of the history and it's facts, that with any argument and disagreement between the two sides, the facts are always there. Looking back fifty, sixy years in science and space technology as well as who's first in what, well, let's just say, the technology has evolved in so many ways as possible. Especially when it comes to space, science and it's technology.
When I was researching about this topic so that I would know what to write about this article, it came very clear and interesting of American history of space exploration and USSR which is now Russia'n space exploration. Both are very powerful, and strong countries with inteligent scientists. Both have shown very intriging ( spell check ) ways of space travel. Both are very uniquely clever, and had their own ways of doing things. If talking about measurement in mass and weight, distance and length, capacity and volume, even temperature and yet cooking and fuel (power), each country has it's own way of converting things. The value is different. It's easy to say and brag about who's richer or who's more powerful, but in a way both countries are completely different, yet share the same goal and enthusiasm when it comes to space exploration.
In a sence, those topics are very important when it comes to space and science. Everything in space is different. I'm not a specialist or a scientist to go in to details and argue with different views of that topic.
I always though that NASA and USSR ( Russia ) 'n space technology was created because of war's. But I guess I was wrong. Apparently, the theory of space exploration was well established in the Russian Empire before the First World War ( was taken from wikipedia in Russian section of astro science & space section under origins and Prewar efforts) ( The rest information is based from that website )
Believe it or not the very first rocket to be launched was the first hubrid-fueld rocket GIRD-X in 1993. And another multiple rocket luancher named Katusha was launched in the year of 1940-1941. Intersting isn't? Something which I never new about. These are just small facts of when the earliest Russian space exploration started to happen. And evolve in to today's most popular program. And to be proud and not be bragging, Russian's very first woman to ever fly in space was Valentina Tereshkova, born on March6, 1937 to pilor Vostok 6th on the 16 June, 1963. That is , the first woman. I'm sure before that Russia had the first Latika (which means Barker ) flew in 1954 - November 3, 1957. Was the first animal to orbit the earth and the first animal to die in orbit. ( How sad. ) Sadly, Laika died within hours after launch from overheating. They believed it was caused by a failure of the central R-7. ( All information is borrowed from ; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laika )
The first human in space and Earth orbit was cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin on Vostok 1 ) And the first spacewalker was cosmonaut Aleey Leonov at age 34 who'm on Marth 18, 1965 was the first human to conduct the very fist space walk.
Allan Bartlett Shepard, Jr. who'm in 1961 became the second person, and teh first American, in space. I couldn't find as much information about who was first in NASA, but I'm sure there is some available online and on books. But I am impressed at both countries potentials at space flight.
