>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
>draws on previously classified documents to tell the real story
>behind the opening chapter in the space race.
