"The Sputnik launch changed everything. As a technical achievement, Sputnik caught the world's attention and the American public off-guard. Its size was more impressive than Vanguard's intended 3.5-pound payload. In addition, the public feared that the Soviets' ability to launch satellites also translated into the capability to launch ballistic missiles that could carry nuclear weapons from Europe to the U.S. Then the Soviets struck again; on November 3, Sputnik II was launched, carrying a much heavier payload, including a dog named Laika.
The Sputnik launch also led directly to the creation of National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). In July 1958, Congress passed the National Aeronautics and Space Act (commonly called the "Space Act"), which created NASA as of October 1, 1958 from the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) and other government agencies."- https://history.nasa.gov/sputnik/

Old Immigrants Definition:
The Old Immigrants were people who reached the U.S in the early 1800s.
Here are some facts about old immigrants, their languages, where they were from, what they did for a living, etc.:
• Most of their jobs were farming and most people were farmers.
• Old immigration came in smaller numbers than new immigration.
• Old immigrates were from Northern and Western Europe.
• Most old immigrants spoke English.
• They were literate and skilled, unlike New immigrants.
The colonists and early Americans
got the idea that only male land owners should vote from England. Voting in England during pre-1832 was
dependent on three criteria – sex, age and property. Only men over the age of
21 were allowed to vote – and only if they owned property over a certain value.
It was essentially a way of making voting a rich man’s privilege, reinforced by
small boroughs having more MPs than larger counties, which were predominantly
inhabited by poorer workers. The Great Reform Act in 1832 broadened the
spectrum of voters to include the likes of landowners and shopkeepers as part
of the property criteria. The constituency boundaries were rearranged to make
representation less unfair and householders paying more than £10 in annual rent
were also given the vote
