Oh, plenty.
The Soviet Union and the USA were both trying to decide who was the strongest and cleverest, and being the first to put a man-made object in space brought home huge bragging points.
he didn't hate politics, he hated anything that wasn't facism
Because the Sputnik program ended with Sputnik 3. Albeit there was a Sputnik 40 and 41 but these were to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Sputnik 1.
Fiscal politics is anything going on in the government that has to do with monetary policy like budgets and things.
they didn't do anything :p

No, the Russian's Sputnik was unmanned.
Sputnik I? The Russian (Soviet Union) satellite? Well, the Soviet Union had successfully launched this satellite, so the Russians were indeed involved. I am pretty sure that only the Soviet Union was involved (even though Sputnik I was part of the Space Race, the American people did not have anything to do with the satellite).
Nearly anything you can think of.
The launch of Sputnik by the Soviet Union in 1957 had a profound impact on American politics, igniting fears of a technological and ideological gap in the Cold War. It prompted the U.S. government to increase funding for science and education, leading to the establishment of NASA and a greater emphasis on STEM programs in schools. The event also contributed to a sense of urgency in the arms race and heightened anti-communist sentiment, influencing foreign and domestic policies throughout the late 1950s and 1960s. Ultimately, Sputnik served as a catalyst for the Space Race, reshaping American priorities and national security strategies.
Sputnik did not use a microprocessor.
The USSR built the Sputnik.
