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 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.
Sputnik 1 and Sputnik 2 were artificial satellites that traveled around the Earth. People thought that Sputnik 1 was spying on them, but all it did was transmit a simple tracking signal for 3 weeks.
Sputnik's launch in 1957 caused fear in the United States as it showed that the Soviet Union had advanced space technology. This led to increased investment in science and education in the US, culminating in the creation of NASA and the space race.
No, the Russian's Sputnik was unmanned.
Sputnik came as a surprise, the US did not know about it in advance.

To humiliate is to demean. Here are some sentences.The coach will humiliate you if you lose that game.I hate it when someone tries to humiliate me.It's not nice to humiliate someone when they make a mistake.
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.
