YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Sputnik’s launch in 1957 ignited panic across America. The Space Race was born, but so was an arms race...with the U.S. and Soviet Union trading nuclear tests in the open air.

By 1962, the Soviets detonated Tsar Bomba, a 50-megaton monster, the largest explosion ever created by humanity.

It was a time when fear circled the globe, and the Cold War burned just below the surface.
