I agree with Alli in this case because the Space Race was a major factor in the Cold War. NASA created a non-violent space program that gave us the benefit of looking good and gaining more intelligence about our own solar system. If the Soviets had defeated us here and we had just given up, we would look very weak and the people of the United States would not look very highly on the leadership of our country. By creating NASA, we created a highly intelligent base of people to launch us into history. This historic program made us a super power among other countries and gave our own country something to be proud of.
