What will be an ideal response?
Ans: Essay suggestion: Students should agree. The text states the 1957 successful launch of Sputnik by the Soviet Union. Students should explicate more than a sentence by providing a rationale why this is reasonable. If you go over this item, you may want to mention that the United States did have the "cream of the crop," but they were not allowed to do much because they had been members of the Nazi Party. After Sputnik they were allowed to work and we have never looked back.
