New Delhi: On October 4, 1957 the world witnessed the successful launch of the first-ever artificial satellite. The Russians put the first man-made object in outer space and it was called the Sputnik.
By doing so man had broken the biggest natural barrier but little did people realise the significance of the event that was to start a never ending 'space race'.
