Sputnik-1, launched from the USSR on October 4, 1957, was the first successful man-made

earth satellite.

But it would be a grave error to believe that US/Soviet relations were devoid of competition

until that time. Indeed, had there been no fierce, unrelenting competition during the preceding

several years, there would have been no Sputnik. Sputnik was a result of intense competition,

not the cause of it.
