*Nuclear arms race occurs, more and bigger weapons
*Launch of the Soviet satellite, Sputnik in 1957, start the 'Space Race'. Scared the americans into thinking that it was more then it is
*Dog - Lika, then a monkey, a man and a women
*By 1969 americans have man walking on moon
*Delivery systems from millines and InterContinental Ballistic Missiles ( ICBM's) were part of the race
*D.E.W line - Distant Early Warning
*NORAD - building of the lines tho watch for the Russians coming over to attack
*Deterrent - knew that they would be detected and then fire re fire missiles back to the ones who sent their missiles first. Prevented the cold war from being any worse then it was
*Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) meant attacking either side they would both lose through complete annihilation. Type of deterrent
*Maintaining nuclear parity in actually defers each side from going to war

Summary
After the Russians stole how to make nuclear weapons they drove the americans crazy by putting a small satellite in space that would orbit the earth and send back a beeping noise. This made the americans go crazy because they thought that is was a type of launching device for nuclear weapons so whenever they heard the beeping they thought it was something coming for them. After this it was war on to who would take control of the space scene.
