Americans feared satellite Sputnik because it demonstrated the Soviet Union's technological advancement in space, raising concerns about potential military implications and a perceived threat to national security. The successful launch of Sputnik also sparked fears of falling behind in the space race and losing strategic advantage to the Soviet Union.
The launch of Sputnik by the Soviets in 1957 sparked fear in the Americans about potential Soviet technological superiority and military capabilities. This led to increased funding for science and education, the establishment of NASA, and the eventual space race between the two countries.

The launching of Sputnik by the Soviet Union in 1957 led to increased emphasis on science and technology education in the United States. It also prompted the establishment of NASA in 1958 and the acceleration of the US space program, culminating in the successful Apollo moon landings.
Sputnik 1 was launched October 4th, 1957.
The United States' fears of Sputnik 1 were based on the premise of a Soviet-American pending missile gap. The reasoning went that if the Soviets could launch Sputnik into orbit, the technological threshold for intercontinental ballistic missiles laden with nuclear warheads was now crossed. However, and ultimately a missile gap never came to exist between the two powers suggesting American paranoia.
Sputnik was the first man made satellite to be put in space by man. The whole World took their hats of to the innovators of this achievement. The Americans were infuriated that the Russians beat them to it.
