'''Sputnik''' was launched in 1957 by the [[Soviet Union]] under [[Nikita Khrushchev]] as the first spacecraft to circle the earth. It stunned the world by demonstrating supposed Soviet superiority in some forms of technology, especially the capacity to build extremely sophisticated technology and powerful rockets (which could also carry nuclear weapons). It remains a high point of Russian pride.
