Without the technology gained from our space program‚ all the other items would have never happened or would have taken a lot longer to be developed. It all began in the late 1950’s with the launch of the Russian satellite Sputnik. Prior to that most Americans assumed that the United States was superior to all other countries when it came to technology. With Russia apparently becoming the leader in space exploration‚ Congress passed the National
