On October 4, 1957, the Space Age dawned with the red hue of the

Communist flag when the Soviet Union launched the first artificial

satellite. Sputnik I stunned the world and spurred a surge in

science education and innovation that changed our world forever. But

was Sputnik I really a shock to America's leaders, and how close was

the U.S. to getting into space first? In "Sputnik Declassified" NOVA

draws on previously classified documents to tell the real story

behind the opening chapter in the space race.
