Which of the following might be presented as evidence by someone arguing that the United States won the Space Race?

Answer
A
launching the first satellite
B
landing a man on the moon
C
building the International Space Station
D
inventing the computer

Explanation

The United States could point to landing astronauts on the Moon in 1969 as evidence that it won the Space Race. The Soviet Union launched the first satellite, Sputnik, so choice C is evidence for the other side. The computer was not invented by the United States as a Space Race achievement, and the International Space Station was built through international cooperation.
