The Day Space Stopped Being Empty
On October 4, 1957, a small metal object changed the world.
In this first episode of Moments That Shape Us, listeners are taken back to the day Sputnik was launched into orbit. For the first time in human history, space was no longer empty. Something made by people was moving above the Earth, passing silently over cities, homes, and borders.
This episode explores how that single event sparked fear, urgency, and global tension. Told through real historical accounts and verified records, the story focuses on what people understood in the moment, before the Space Race had a name and before anyone knew where it would lead. The episode examines why Sputnik mattered, how the United States reacted, and how the creation of NASA began not with confidence, but with uncertainty.
This is the story of the moment when space became something humanity could reach, and something the world could no longer ignore.
