Original Note:
This image is heavily cherrypicked and ignores context. The U.S. followed up most Soviet achievements shortly after to a higher quality. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explorer_1 https://youtu.be/rSK7rUSnFK4?si=aHBG-FV0EHvORN54 NASA has not claimed to have launched the first person to space. That was an error on a single tweet.
