Lesson Learned: To be honest, I was always under the assumption that the Apollo missions was what truly fueled the space race, but through this I genuinely found out that Sputnik was the true catalyst for aeronautical advancements. In addition, I learned that Sputnik had various foundational elements which was key in supporting other innovations in space, and that Sputnik was based from missile technology, which is very intriguing. 

Most Challenging Aspect: Doing research and compiling the presentation was definitely the most challenging aspect of this entire project, considering that it took me the most amount time and it was difficult to find credible information on the topic. In addition, presenting the information was a hassle as well, since it is something that tests me mentally and emotionally. 

What I could've done differently: While the content of the presentation itself was alright, I could've done a better job in my presentation, as I lacked confidence in certain areas. As a result of this, I wasn't able to explain several aspects of the presentation to the best of my ability, taking a toll on my grade. In future presentations, I hope to fix this issue so I can emulate my best.
