About this Talk
Filmmaker David Hoffman shares footage from his feature-length documentary Sputnik Mania, which shows how the Soviet Union's launch of Sputnik in 1957 led to both the space race and the arms race -- and jump-started science and math education around the world.
One good lesson: The documentary tells us how a free society could be stampeded by those who know how to use the media, but it could also turns what appears at first to be a bad situation.
