Eisenhower and the CIA had known that Russia had the capability to launch a small payload into orbit and was likely to do so within a year
Time: Jan, 1957
Place: U.S.
Details: Eisenhower and the CIA had known since at least January 1957, nine months before Sputnik, that Russia had the capability to launch a small payload into orbit and was likely to do so within a year. He may also privately have welcomed the Soviet satellite for its legal implications: By launching a satellite, the Soviet Union had in effect acknowledged that space was open to anyone who could access it, without needing permission from other nations.

Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
