NASA and the Space Program Change Florida: The Space Program Changes the Economy and Culture of Florida | The Soviet Union launched Sputnik I, the first man-made satellite, into space in 1957. Americans watched the Soviet satellite beeping and blinking across the American night sky. Sputnik I weighed only 184 pounds and could do little more than beep, but many people worried that this meant the United States was losing the race to develop space technology. Pressure exploded from United States politicians and the American public demanding that the country catch up and increase investment in rocket technology and aeronautics. In this lesson students will analyze the film Florida: Moonport USA to describe the effect of the United States space program on Florida's economy, growth and culture. |
Florida's Space Industry | In this lesson, students learn about the creation, time-line, and impact of the "space race" and consequent space industry in Florida. |
