- Why was the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. engaged in a space race? How did we make it to the moon? Was it worth the $26 billion dollars it cost? Of course it was! Man walked on the moon!

"En la Brisa" Music by Dan-O at DanoSongs.com
Back in 1945,
The Allies had just won WW2,
The United States arrived as a superpower,
Oh my god, the communists,
Have Eastern Europe in their midst,
An Iron Curtain's been affixed,
(So what?) We had the technology,
Others nations could only dream,
Until 1949, the Ruskies go nuclear,
'57, Dread on our face,
They launch Sputnik into space,
We are now in second place,
Silver medals ain't enough for U.S.
It ain't only about science,
There's a problem this feat creates,
Now the Russians could launch missiles,
All the way into outer space,
They could hit any target, in the United States,
With Sputnik, this has started... the Cold War's Space Race
Well we also got a rocket, called the Vanguard TV3,
But when we tried to launch it, it blew up on live TV,
It's time we founded NASA, in 1958,
We're in Space Race, baby. Go USA!
I'll say this for Germany,
Their scientists really knew their thing,
After Allied victory,
A bunch were working for us but
Also for the Russians and in 61', Yuri Gagarin,
Became the world's first spaceman,
(Oh no!)
JFK knew catching up,
To the Soviets wouldn't do,
America had had enough,
We needed to take the lead,
So in an awesome speech he made,
He pledged during that decade,
America would take first place,
We will land a man on the moon before you can!
Now it's time to step our game, with Mercury and Gemini,
$26 Billion later, it's July 1969,
Armstrong, Aldrin, and Collins, are strapped in to place,
There goes Apollo 11, into outer space,
Three days later Armstrong, took a small step for a man,
But a giant leap for mankind, he was followed by Buzz Aldrin,
Don't forget Michael Collins, who flew them to the moon,
We're winning the Space Race, baby, 'Cause that's what we do.
Twelve men have made it to the lunar surface,
Only America has gone and done this,
Conrad, Bean, Shepard, Mitchell, Cernan, and Schmitt,
Irwin, Young, Scott and Duke, have also done it.
The race could've went forever, but in 1975,
The U.S. and Russia, had a much more friendly vibe,
Apollo and Soyuz craft linked up in outer space,
This signifies the end of the Cold War Space Race,
You may ask was it worth but you can thank the Space Race for,
Satellite navigation, and the joystick on your PS4,
Thousands of daily products were made for outer space,
So the winner was really the whole human race.
Hi. I am Russian. I've been studying English for 5 years. It's cool language. And yesterday we started a new topic, it was a "Space race"... And our teacher showed us this video. It's great. Sorry, if I have mistakes, I am only 12...
English isn't as good as our language.
@@rjanvhidt9490 ouch
You’re really god at English. I’m learning Spanish.
Of I mean you’re good at English
Your grammar is very good!!🤯
This is my favorite one of your parodies, I've watched multiple times.
Same
Honesty
same
3rd favorite my favorite is lee vs lincoln
Same
This has made my day so much better! Idk why but your singing leaves me with a smile that never ceases to go away.
TheLinkhero99 Because what I lack in perfect pitch and range, I make up geeked-out pride and enthusiasm .
@@MrBettsClass No joke XD
everything about this video is perfect
the lyrics fit well, the singing is good,
AND THE VISUALS
your facial expressions and motions are amazing
This taught me about the cold war. Also, I never knew about the space race. But now I do. I wish I could be creative like you. :). You are so creative!
AP HISTORY TEST TOMORROW WOO WOO!!!!!! Thanks for all the parodies! They've really helped!
+Hannah Davenport just don't sing them too loud and get in trouble
I love your parodies! they are the best and make learning things fun! (Especially social studies)
My son teaches high school history and sent me this link because I was incensed that the move "First Man" never even said Michael Collins' name. Thank you Mr Betts for remembering Michael!!!
“IT BLEW UP ON LIVE TV” **Says In Happy Sound**
Dark Humor... Nice Way To Go There Pl
Dear Mr Bett, Thank you for your songs they help me out a lot with school. They are way more fun than documentals and are way more easy to understand and remember! I hope my teachers where more like you! Keep up the good work :D
This is on Mr betts rad playlist. It is a great playlist with the best of Mr betts. By the way, I know ever word in this. It is a work of art.
Awesome!
My Social Studies teacher showed us this song and I love it
Respect Man such a great teacher, amazing creativity to come up with parody like that. Nice One
You saved my life! I had to make a 1950s playlist with 10 songs. 5 songs during the 50s and 5 modern songs about the 1950s. It's extremely hard to find modern songs about the 50s.
One of the best videos you've ever made
:D I keep coming back to this parody. One of my favorites.
So I am a junior and I have learned more from your videos than I have from my actual work and it is fantastic, I have End of Course assements this week and I'm still kinda stuck on FDR's new deal policies
can you help?
+Johnny Collins Check out my New Deal/Uptown Funk parody. Hopefully it helps.
Thanks!
You always help me in class keep them coming
Amazing! Keep the US history songs coming! xD
Glad you like!

Love you Mr.Betts keep it up please. You made me love to learn. I didn't know NASA was founded in 1958.
I've just got to say - that twist at the end about the entire human race winning the space race shook me a bit. Really interesting interpretation of events...I like it!
You really helper me

Loved the quick frame with the red line circle indicating that Tang was not included in the made-for-space list! Always wondered about that particular claim.

That was awesome
I really like this song I keep on humming it in school
AMAZING SONG IM ADDICTED TO THIS SONG BECAUSE MY SOCIAL STUDIES TEACHER INTRODUCED ME TO THIS
Nicely done, loved the end lol
wow I learned more about the cold war and space race. I wonder why was controllers important in the space race. When I saw your face when you said ``Now the Russians could launch missiles, All the way into outer space" on 0:57. It made me laugh so loudly. My mom was laughing too. Keep the United states EDU Music vids coming.
Lol right!!
Scardy cat

Just wanted to notify you of the fact that the ps4 only has a joystick because they copied it from the Nintendo 64 controller. Not because of the space race. Nintendo making the N.E.S, S.N.E.S, and Nintendo 64 were not influenced in anyway by the space race, nor was the decision to copy it to the ps controller
OMG THIS IS AMAZING IM PASSING MY HISTORY EXAM THANK YOU SO MUCH
I luv you you are da best!!! My teacher showed us one of your vids and i loved it!!!!!

I just started watching him and I love this channel. it would be amazing if you used the song Country Girl (Shake it for me) with something like the Civil war.
My kids love this video they have it stuck in their head!!
You do alot of pop song class parody and their awesome and i was wondering if you could try doing a rock one? Like Linkin park,3 days grace, breaking benjamin or 1000 foot krutch 😅 for example? it'd be really helpful!

This makes me wish the Space Race had gone on for longer - we could have established bases on the Moon, we could have seen a man on Mars, and so on.
Please do one on the btp
This is amazing!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!
“The winner was the entire human race” Damn that’s POWERFUL
Damn this is so good
Why did the Vanguard TV3 blow up when they tried to launch it?
The Vanguard TV3 exploded because flaming propellant entered the engine and exploded. This was due to inadequate pressurization in the fuel system.

my teacher always plays your parody’s for us before we take tests!
3:42 lol I was playing fortnite on my ps4 when I heard him say the joystick on your ps4
Hello!! I am late to this, but I absolutely LOVE this. But I tried to do some research on the joystick fact because the fact interested me. I found that it was invented in 1926. Did you perhaps mean specifically for gaming devices? because the ones used for piloting aircraft were made before the cold war even started.
Anyways I DO LOVE your video and I have re-watched this at least 20 times already!
2:31 nice engine noises
the best song ever
i listened to this in class
3:42 🎶Joystick on your PS4 🎶
Xbox players: Am I a joke to u😂
I am blown away by how great these are! I wonder if something like the Vietnam war could be done to Maroon 5's Animals song? Just a thought. I have subscribed and can't wait to share these with my class!
My science and social studies teacher listens to you like everyday we love listening to your songs. Can you do a nation army white stripes o the Civil War please?
Michael Collins lived long enough to see the fiftieth anniversary of the Moon landings. I heard him say that he remembered the day he helped Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin make the "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."
History bombs: don’t do space race in one take
MrBetts: fine I’ll do it myself
That Berlin T-shirt is an entire history lesson in and of itself; Germany was split into pieces after World War II, and the pieces looked... kind of like they do on the shirt.
(Applause)
Nice profile pic! Also I think it's cool that you noticed something small like that. Thanks for the explanation. *applause intensifies*
My teacher showed the class this and it was hilarious
+SMELLY WELLSY I know, right? I'm pretty funny.
Mr betts do u have one about the picture of american progress
i honestly like this version more than the original . . . just saying, keep it up!
u need to do a parody of a Rhett and link song PLZ PLZ PLZ
