Sputnik I
The First In Space
The year is 1957 and we are in a "cold war" with the United States. It was our mission to prove that not only the communist way of life, but the soviet way of life was / is better than what you as Americans can call a life. We feel that the launching of Sputnik I and then shortly thereafter Sputnik II shows the superiority of the Soviet Way of Life.
We should keep in mind the vast superiority of the Soviet system. First man made satellite in space, first man in space, first women in space, first in everything except the moon comes from the dedication and drive of the Russian people and the honor they hold for their nation.
