Answer 2

Answer: increased American confidence

Explanation: The Sputnik launch is referring to the Soviets launch of the world's first artificial satellite, Sputnik I, in October 1957. Because of this, America created NASA and began funding more STEM programs. This also increased fear of Soviet nuclear superiority and launched the Space Race (to send a man to the moon). Therefore, American confidence was not increased.
