The launch of Sputnik in 1957 had significant implications as it marked the beginning of the space age. It heightened the Cold War competition between the United States and the Soviet Union, leading to increased investment in space exploration and technology. It also spurred advancements in science, technology, and education, shaping the future of space exploration.
Sputniks Down ended in 2003.
It is a little burnt but the launch pad is designed to take extreme heat and pressure created by the space shuttle. If it wasn't, they would have to make a new launch pad every launch and those things are worth a pretty penny...
launchedThe past tense of launch is launched.
The launch pad (even hours after launch) is not a place you'd want to be.See the related link for more information.

A nation that can launch something into orbit is a nation that can drop anything from orbit onto any other part of the world. Unless you trust the nation with orbital capacity, this can be a scary thought.
Sputniks Down ended in 2003.
Sputniks Down was created in 1996.
There was a series of sputniks, with different compoetry.
yes
American rocket scientists were surprised and impressed by Sputnik's weight because it indicated the Soviet Union's advanced rocket technology. The fact that the Soviets were able to launch such a heavy satellite into orbit heightened concerns about their potential military capabilities.
The sputniks themselves - not much. They were rather crude devices with a limited ability. But they proved that we could build stuff that worked in space, and launch them there. This opened the road for space exploration, and the more widely useful satellites like weather satellites, Communications satellites, satellite television satellite navigation and such.
for is the correct choice
There was a Swedish band called The Spotniks played instrumental music. Still going today!
No. All the sputniks were in fairly low-Earth orbits, and wouldn't have been able to get anywhere near the Moon.
implications for - is correct.
