* Sputnik 1 seen in the United States
* World's 1st orbiting artificial satellite
* Space race begins
A report in the space race, with a banner headline reading: "SOVIET MOON SIGHTED" with subheads and more.
This event shocked the American scientific community and sufficiently scared the Americans into an all-out space race. There was great fear at the time of Soviet dominance of space and the potential use of satellites for military purposes (see hyperlink for much more).
Complete issue with all three sections, nice condition.
