Why was the us racing russia to the the moon?
It really had nothing to do with the moon or exploration at the very heart. At the time the US and the USSR were embroiled in the cold war,with each side trying to prove that their technology and missiles were superior. The result of this "competition" eventually became a race to the moon. So as a direct answer, they were racing in order to prove which side had the best technology/military.
How did racing begin?
Racing can be traced back to ancient civilizations, where it was used as a test of speed and endurance for horses or other animals.
