On 4 October 1957, at the height of the Cold War, the Soviet Union secretly launched Sputnik, Earth's first artificial moon, which passed over the American continent once every 101 minutes. This book describes a time when two nations and ideologies were pitted against each other in a quest that laid the foundations of the technological world.
