Answer:

1. On October 4, 1957, the Soviet Union became the country that officially started the so-called space race by launching the Sputnik 1, the first Earth satellite in history.

2. A month after the USSR sent Sputnik 1 into space, they sent Sputnik 2, which was the first spacecraft to carry an animal (a dog named Laika) and so the country made history again by becoming the first to successfully send a living organism into orbit.

3.However, something that many people don’t know about this dog is that despite the Soviets initially claiming that Laika had survived in orbit for a week, decades later official Russian sources revealed that Laika lived only a few hours before dying from overheating.

Papessa [141]

I would use two sources of data for income and two for literacy. For average income I would consult the censuses if they were available at that time. In particular I would check the differences between the years 1800 and 1850. Also I would check employment records for the same trades/professions for the two years. For literacy, I would check the school records to see if there was an increase in youth completing high school and also check the university records to see how many graduates there were in the two years.
