The Science journal 'Nature' published a special cover edition (4 October 2007) celebrating the 50th anniversary of Sputnik, the first ever artificial satellite.
First satellite, first man in space, first 'walk' in space, first probe to photograph the other side of the Moon, first woman in space, first landing on the Moon: all Soviet.
The Americans only moved ahead with the first manned landing on the Moon in 1968.
