That was the year the space race to get an American to the moon began
It started on 1957 and ended on 1969
The space race was a stimulus for scientific research, since the problem of space travel, or landing on the moon, is basically a scientific and engineering problem. To a large degree, the advanced technology of the 21st century got its start in the space race.
The Russians started the Space Race by launching Sputnik the first satellite, which then provoked fear in the Americans to begin development of their own satellites.
The start of the National Aeronautics Space Administration known as NASA.
