Sputnik: A Beep That Changed the World
17 Nov 2025
In 1957, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite to orbit Earth. About the size of a beach ball, Sputnik sent out radio signals that could be heard around the world. Its launch shocked the United States and began the Space Race—a competition to explore space. This video tells the story of how Sputnik changed history, inspired new inventions, and led to humans traveling to space. It marked the moment when people realized our future could reach beyond the stars. 💵 Get a free month of Acorns Early: acornsearly.com/bedtimehistory Try Cocomelon Sing & Play for Free on your smart TV Volley App 📖 We published our first book, Explorer Society: World's Fair Conspiracy 🎉 Check out our new show, Bedtime Safari! 📢 Donate via Patreon for a shout-out! 📺 500+ YouTube Videos
