The Soviet Union, both with a satellite and with a human.

In 1957, the Soviet Union successfully launched into Earth orbit the first artificial (man-made) satellite called Sputnik. I caused a shock around the world, and raised questions in the US as to how they beat us into space.

4 years later, Soviet Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human in space after the Soviet Union launched his spacecraft into orbit with a Vostok launch vehicle. It caused an even bigger shock around the world than Sputnik did.
