Question

What is one of the ways that the United States reacted to the Soviet Union launching Sputnik?

Answer 1

Answer :

• Politically, Sputnik created a perception of American weakness, complacency, and a "missile gap," which led to bitter accusations, resignations of key military figures, and contributed to the election of John F. Kennedy, who emphasized the space gap and the role of the Eisenhower-Nixon administration in creating it.
