The U.S and U.S.S.R had a race to see who got to the moon first. Whatever country got to the moon 1st would be special and since no one had been on it before. The country who's space program made it to the moon 1st would be known by everyone as the first people and then that country would probably try to claim it for themselves. The bad things can can come out of the space race are that the competition could get violent. Also like i said if someone tryed to claim it becoause they got there 1st they try to build weapons and attack other places from the moon. people would also be afraid if a soviet country went 1st because they could then have more power.
