520 1 $a"On October 4, 1957, as Leave It to Beaver premiered on American television, the Soviet Union launced the first man-made object into space, a 184-pound satellite carrying only a radio transmitter. While Sputnik I immediately shocked the world, its long-term impact was even greater, for it profoundly changed the shape of the twentieth century.".
520 8 $a"Washington journalist Paul Dickson chronicles the dramatic events and developments leading up to and emanating from Sputnik's launch - a story that can only now be fully told with the recent release of previously classified documents. Sputnik offers a fascinating profile of the early American and Soviet space programs and a strikingly revised picture of politics and personalities behind the facade of America's fledgling efforts to get into space."--BOOK JACKET.
