Question

Explain the event that effectively won the space race for the United States

Answer 1

Landing On The Moon

Step-by-step explanation:

By landing on the moon, the United States effectively “won” the space race that had begun with Sputnik's launch in 1957. For their part, the Soviets made four failed attempts to launch a lunar landing craft between 1969 and 1972, including a spectacular launch-pad explosion in July 1969.
