Description
The Space Race in the 1960s was fantastic in itself as it helped humanity reach into the stars. However, it also created a lot of inventions - such as the memory foam pillow - that came from the space program. This unit asks learners to debate whether it is a good idea to have space exploration for its own worth but also for the associated technological advances.
