World Changing Event: October 4, 1957 Space Age – Sputnik program: The Soviet Union launches Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite to orbit the earth.

The launch ushered in new political, military, technological, and scientific developments. While the Sputnik launch was a single event, it marked the start of the Space Age. January 4, 1958 – Sputnik 1 falls to Earth from its orbit and is burned up.
