It was called Sputnik 1, and it led President Eisenhower to declare that "the Soviets had surpassed America and the rest of the free world in scientific and technological advancements in outer space." The New York Times hailed it as "a major triumph for Russian communism", and it prompted the formation of DARPA, which famously contributed to the creation of the Internet -- as well as to one of the COVID vaccines.
