From Wikipedia
The Sputnik crisis was a period of public fear and anxiety in Western nations about the perceived technological gap between the United States and Soviet Union caused by the Soviets' launch of Sputnik 1, the world's first artificial satellite. The crisis was a significant event in the Cold War that triggered the creation of NASA and the Space Race between the two superpowers. This crisis is also referred to as the "Sputnik Moment", with this term frequently used to describe the phenomenon of a forward technological leap by a nation, followed by greater push in education and research by other nations in order to catch up.
