Sputnik was proof positive that the Russians could beat the United States provided that all of their resources were aimed at a single target, being the first country into space.
You can show how the US was interested in the space race, but it wasn’t all encompassing.
Show how US president, Truman, JFK and LBJ, nixon Ford Carter Reagan had lots more on their plates keeping the Americans quiet and happy.
Show how little else occurred in the USSR during this period.
another good thesis would be that Sputnik set the bar for spy satellites. Anyone who could get a satellite into space would see what everyone else was doing.
