The launching of Sputnik 1 by the Soviet Union in 1957 heightened US concerns about Soviet technological advancements and capabilities. This led to increased emphasis on science and education in the US, ultimately spurring the creation of NASA and the passage of legislation to improve science and math education.
Sputnik was put into orbit on October 4, 1957.
