What's more it carried a powerful rocket that could presumably carry a nuclear overhead over United States of America's borders.
United States hurriedly developed intercontinental missiles and defenses against Russians (Sputnik). In 1961 preparation to landing in moon started and allegedly realized in 1969. Without Sputnik landing in moon would have delayed.
