oh yes. THE USA invented everything important. (Just forget paper, compass, acupuncture, gunpowder... those things are just silly stuff made by evil commies)

don't try to diminish the accomplishment. The first man-made object in orbit is a huge milestone in space history.

And it means more than any previous german or us army suborbital V2 flight.

nothing. At this point the soviets hadn't figured out how to solve the problem of reentry.

everything they sent up just burned away instead of landing safely until they figured out how to reenter.
