...announced that the satellite had been identified. It was a space derelict, the remains of an Air Force Discoverer satellite that had gone astray. The dark satellite was the first object to demonstrate the effectiveness of the U.S.'s new watch on space.

Testified Allen, contradicting the Administration's position that the U.S. is not in a space race with the U.S.S.R.: as a result of Soviet space successes and U.S. space failures, the prevailing opinion in the world today is that the U.S.S.R. is ahead of the U.S. in science and technology. "The successful launching of Sputnik I created an intensity of reaction throughout the world which...
