This original Tang commercial creates a sense of time and place as it transports the audience to the 1960s with its jaunty jingle, bold bubble lettering, and happy baseball-playing family members. This provides a window into the culture of the time period in which the Space Race occurred.  


Interviews Our Team Conducted

Ford, Holland. "Interviewing Professor Holland Ford." Personal interview. 20 Dec. 2009. The interview we conducted with Professor Ford of Johns Hopkins University helped us to build the “Potential Technologies” page and the “Highlights of the Space Race” page of the web site. This interview helped us to better understand the legacy of the Space Race today, which includes robotics, surveillance, and computing power.

Mulcher, Max. “Interviewing Max Mulcher.” Personal Interview. 20 Dec. 2009. This interview was useful in helping us to understand the effects of the Space Race in general, and specifically, how it led to the Hubble Space Telescope, one of the most powerful telescopes in space. Also, Mr. Mulcher talked about how the Space Race, even today, continues to influence space technologies such as robotics, space probes, space imaging and space telescopes. Mr. Mulcher works at the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI),

Peterson, Karla. “Interviewing Karla Peterson.” Personal Interview. 14 Feb. 2010. As a person who helps people solve problems with modern technology, Ms. Peterson shared her insights about how the Space Race influenced today’s technology. In addition, she introduced us to her colleague, Mark Postman, at the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), who we also then interviewed.

Postman, Mark. “Interviewing Mark Postman.” Personal Interview. 14 Feb. 2010. This perceptive, knowledgeable astronomer and space optics expert at the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), helped us understand the effects of the Space Race. In particular, Mr. Postman explained how the Space Race influences what scientists, like him, do in their work every day. This interview, like all the others, helped us develop our “Potential Technologies” on the web site. 

 

Museums

Smithsonian Institution, Air and Space Museum. 23 December 2009. We traveled to the Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C., which provided us inspiration and insight into the Space Race and why it was so important to the United States. This trip was integral to the creation of the website itself because it gave us ideas on how to organize and prioritize the content. The information we gathered was helpful to develop the “Setting the Stage” page, “Timeline,” and “Highlights of the Space Race” page. 


 

Photographs


"Apollo 11 Mission to the Moon." The Washington Post. The Washington Post Company. Web. 11 Feb. 2010. <http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/gallery/2009/07/17/GA2009071703017.html>. This photograph of a crowd of onlookers at the Apollo 11 liftoff conveyed the excitement Americans felt about the Apollo mission that reached the moon. We used the image on the “Legacy of the Space Race” page to convey the strong sense of nationalism Americans felt about this event.

AV, Diaz. "Dreams, Hopes, Realities." SP-4312 Dreams, Hopes, Realities. National Aeronautics and Space Administration, May 1999. Web. 11 Feb. 2010. <http://history.nasa.gov/SP-4312/ch2.htm>.This image of Robert Goddard using a vacuum tube to test for rocket efficiency was integral to our “Setting the Stage” page because it gave a feeling of immediacy—as though you were right next to Goddard as he conducted this experiment. We also used the photograph of the V-2 rocket on the “Highlights of the Space Race” page to show how much this rocket influenced U.S. and Soviet space programs.

"BBC ON THIS DAY | 2 | 1966: First US Space Probe Lands on Moon."" Online Posting. BBC NEWS | News Front Page. British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), 2008. Web. 20 Jan. 2010. <http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/june/2/newsid_4081000/4081677.stm>. This image shows the first U.S. space probe on the moon, which was a milestone in the Space Race for the “Timeline” page. This helped to convey in words and image that the U.S. was on track to reach moon while the U.S.S.R. far behind in achieving this goal.

Kennedy to Congress in May 1961 helped us understand  President Kennedy’s role as a visionary of his time. We learned that half of the innovations spawned by the Space Race were mentioned by President Kennedy in this speech. In addition, the speech set forth  President Kennedy’s objectives, while it helped us better understand the attitudes of the government toward the Soviets.

National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958, NASA Historical Reference Collection (National Aeronautics and Space Administration 1958). Print. Web. 30 Dec. 2009. http://history.nasa.gov/spaceact. html>  This original document was helpful in understanding why NASA was created and why lawmakers thought it was so important at the time. It was very interesting to see the document itself and understand why it was so important in the scheme of the Space Race itself, since NASA was created just one year into the Space Race. This document was only used as background, but it helped us understand the attitudes of the government regarding space after a Soviet victory in launching Sputnik.
