After the launching of SU's Sputnik-1 in 1957, Americans were basically in shock and dismay. They were all scared that the Soviet Union's technology was more advanced than America's at the time, and during that period, supreme technology was symbolic for national success. As a result, America and the Soviet Union competitively tried to make the most advanced space machines. In the end, America won the "Space Race."
