Americans were concerned about a potential missile gap during the Cold War due to fears that the Soviet Union had surpassed the United States in missile technology and nuclear capabilities. This anxiety was fueled by the launch of Sputnik in 1957, which demonstrated Soviet advancements in space and missile technology, leading to worries about national security and military superiority.
