Sputnik: A Beep That Changed the World

Description

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
