The Sputnik Crisis refers to the period in the late 1950s following the Soviet Union's launch of Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite, on October 4, 1957. This event shocked the United States, as it demonstrated Soviet technological capabilities and prompted fears of falling behind in the space race and military technology. The crisis led to significant changes in U.S. education and research funding, culminating in the establishment of NASA in 1958 and increased investments in science and engineering. It marked a pivotal moment in Cold War tensions and the competition for global technological supremacy.
