26 sett 1957 anni - Sputnik launched by Soviet Union

Descrizione:

The launching of Sputnik confirmed many American's fear that they were behind in technology. Sputnik was the first man-made satellite that could orbit the Earth. After the launching, Americans kept failing tests to create a man-made satellite. In the late 1960s, the U.S. increased the amount of Math and Science courses students had to take, so that Americans could keep up with the Soviets.
