This book examines the scientific and technological competition that existed between the Soviet Union and the United States after the launch of Sputnik I in 1957. While much research has focused on the short-term consequences of the 'Sputnik effect' in the USA, this book explores its impact on a global scale, demonstrating how it forged both short- and long-term connections across the globe. Together, the chapters demonstrate that the launch of Sputnik 1 had direct and indirect effects around the world. In some cases, it was crucial in accelerating processes already underway, while in other cases, it modified strategies and visions of the future.
