The first rocket to enter the upper atmosphere was the German V-2 rocket, reaching altitudes of 80,000+ feet. After the war, the Russians and Americans grabbed up all the German scientists, pretty much ignoring their war crimes. Wernher von Braun, the chief engineer on the V-2 project for Nazi Germany went to the US to continue his work. On October 4, 1957, the Russians launched the first of the Sputnik satellites. That's when the space race really heated up. The Redstone, Gemini and Murcury space programs followed. Most people do not realize that the Saturn IV rocket that sent the Apollo astronauts to the moon was a direct decendant on Nazi war technology. Hope that covers it =)
