Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The formation of the Soviet-American space station did not occur in the early developments of the space program. The other options are all significant milestones from the early space program, such as Shepard's suborbital flight being the first manned American spaceflight and Kennedy's pledge leading to the Apollo program. The Telstar communications satellite was also a major achievement, as it was the first satellite to transmit television signals across the Atlantic.
