Cause and Effect Paragraph
The article “it all started with
Sputnik” described how the U.S. saw that they were falling behind in the race
to space. When realizing that Soviet Union had launch the first ever orbital
satellite, the U.S. created NASA it opened new opportunities for engineers and
scientists to show what they have. Later, Homer Hickam explained how everything
was going inside the space center. He described how the U.S. was trying to get
in the lead by sending out satellites and rockets to space. Eventually, the
U.S. did send the satellites and rockets, it proved that the U.S. also had the
same technology and even more than the Soviet Union. Hickam also said that some
people viewed the space exploration as a waste of time and money. However, with
time passing by they were able to prove that all that effort and money that had
gone to the space exploration was worth it with the moon landing. If it wasn’t
for the Sputnik launch, the U.S. would have waited more longer to send people
to space. It was a whole new experience for everyone, the idea of sending
people to space was mind blowing. It was changing people minds and people
realize that everything is possible when there is effort and dedication. Roger
believe that the moon landing was a political contest and a step closer to war.
But also, it expanded people imagination, to think outside the box. I agree
that the moon landing had a lot of concerns, but it changed people’s mindset.
They could do anything they want now that they have seen that it was possible
to go to the moon. “President George W. Bush call on January 14, 2004 to reach
the moon and mars during the next thirty years making clear that a belief in a
limitless frontier in space still motivates us.” The quote says it all. Space
travel is still something people think about and still want to do it, it shows
how people are still curious to see what’s out there.
