Iran joins the Space Race
The real impact of Sputnik was that it demonstrated the USSR’s ICBM cabability. Thereafter it was no longer strapped to lumbering bombers. Same for China more recently.
Guess who just joined the club?

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran said on Monday it was ready to help fellow Muslim states launch satellites into orbit after it successfully put a dummy satellite into orbit — a move that may increase Western suspicions over its atomic ambitions.
Iran said on Sunday it had put the home-grown dummy satellite into orbit on a domestically made rocket for the first time. The long-range ballistic technology used to put satellites into space can also be used for launching weapons.
Iran says has no intention to do so.
