Sputnik didn't humiliate the US; it triggered the space race and heightened Cold War tensions.
The USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) -- Russia launched Sputnik
The first successful US satellite was Explorer I, launched on January 31, 1958, four months after the USSR's Sputnik I and 3 months after Sputnik 2.
It made us get focused and made us work harder to get into space.
The first successful orbital satellite, Sputnik I was launched by the USSR (Soviet Union) on October 4, 1957. The US had been trying to launch their own satellites, but most failed due to malfunctions or miscalculations. After Sputnik, the US increased its budget for space efforts and worked to modify existing missiles as booster rockets. The US launched its first satellite, Explorer I, on January 31, 1958.
No, the Russian's Sputnik was unmanned.
Sputnik came as a surprise, the US did not know about it in advance.
Nyet.
If they can put a satellite in orbit they can launch a H-bomb at us too. It wasn't quite true with Sputnik 1, but it was with Sputnik 2.
