>On October 4, 1957, the Space Age dawned with the red hue of the
>Communist flag when the Soviet Union launched the first artificial
>satellite. Sputnik I stunned the world and spurred a surge in science
>education and innovation that changed our world forever. But was
>Sputnik I really a shock to America's leaders, and how close was the
>U.S. to getting into space first?
>
>In "Sputnik Declassified," NOVA probes the prehistory of the Space
>Age, examining what makes Earth orbit so difficult to achieve; why
>the superpower rivalry in the wake of World War II made spaceflight
>attainable for the first time in history; and counters the popular
>view that President Dwight Eisenhower and the American science and
>defense establishments were caught completely off guard.
>
>"Sputnik Declassified" draws on previously classified documents to
>tell the real story behind the opening chapter in the space race.
>
>Here's what you'll find on the companion Web site:
