50 years ago today the Russians put the first satellite into space, Sputnik. This of course was one of the keys to beginning the space race. Without this first step into space it is hard to tell how fast NASA would have worked to get to the moon. At the time the Space Program was one of the biggest concerns of the nation. With the full support of the US it wasn't hard for NASA to put a man on the Moon. We can only hope that this fifty year anniversary will bolster America's desire to explore space and to reach Mars.
