How far would space exploration have taken us if after the second world war every nation was dedicated to spac?
Well, when you give it some thought, it wasn't until AFTER WWII that the space race began. Although it was some 24 years after WWII that man first stepped foot on the moon, the Soviet Union and the US were developing and experimenting with ways of putting man into space. Ironically, many of the scientists and much of the technology for space exploration came from the development of some of the weapons used in the war. And even if the war had not occured, it is doubtful that there would have been very many nations interested in space exploration mainly b/c their resources and finances were channeled into other areas.
