Answer:

  • The Soviet Union

Step-by-step explanation:

On 4 October 1957, the Soviet Union propelled the world's first fake satellite, Sputnik 1.

The launch of the satellite (twice the span of a basketball) was an essential moment for the nation, as the Space Race with the Soviet Union was simply starting.
