Question

How did the launch of Sputnik lead to the creation of NASA?

The U.S. space agency acquired secret technology from Soviet defectors.

Desire to attract top Soviet scientists led to the development of a space program.

The Soviet satellite was a joint venture with the United States and Soviet Union.

Fear of Soviet expansion into space led to the development of the U.S. space program.

Answer 1

Well, first of all, which country launched 'Sputnik'?

Answer 2

russia

Answer 3

Yes, exactly. Sputnik being the first artificial Earth satellite, showed the U.S that the Soviet Union was expanding their knowledge of outer space. And noting how the U.S and The Soviet Union were always competing with one another, this led to the United States creating NASA, to enhance our abilities with experimenting outside of the Earth, in order to match the already success the Soviet had with the launch of Sputnik.

So, with this being said, which answer fits this explanation?

Answer 4

umm c

Answer 5

No, Sputnik was created and used by just the Soviet Union - America had no part of that. It just led us to again competing with them, to create NASA, so we could learn and match what the Soviet Union already knew how to do.

The only answer which is true is D. Their expansion into space, led the U.S to develop our own space program...to match theirs...
