About this Quote

This quote by James Lovelock recommends that the Cold War was a significant consider the advancement of area exploration. The Cold War was a period of intense political and military rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union, and both nations aspired to show their technological supremacy. As an outcome, both countries invested greatly in area expedition, with the Soviets introducing the very first satellite, Sputnik, in 1957 and the Americans releasing the first human into area, Alan Shepard, in 1961. Without the Cold War, it is likely that neither country would have had the exact same level of inspiration to explore area, and the development of area expedition would have been much slower. This quote highlights the significance of the Cold War in the development of space exploration, and how it has formed the world we reside in today.
