In 1957, Sputnik was the first rocket-launched space equipment to enter " outer space. " Unfortunately for the United States, it was the U.S.S.R. that took this huge landmark first step into the stratosphere, causing Americans to re-consider their assumed status as the world leader in all technology. A frightening question loomed: If the Russians are this far ahead of us in the " Space Race, " are we also behind in the nuclear arms race? After all, this was a large communist country whose leader had said only months before publicly to the U.S. -- " We will bury you !! "
