The launch of Sputnik 1 in 1957 initiated the Space Race, a competition primarily between the United States and the Soviet Union for dominance in space exploration and technology. This event marked the beginning of significant advancements in rocket technology, satellite development, and human spaceflight. The Space Race spurred both nations to invest heavily in their space programs, leading to milestones such as the first human in space and the Apollo moon landing. Ultimately, it fostered a period of intense scientific innovation and geopolitical rivalry.
