tk102 Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 The space age began 50 years ago today with the launch of Sputnik. Youtube Vid The Commies had us pretty scared back then. A dozen years later Apollo 11 landed on the moon.
Achilles Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Happy B-day, Sputnik! And if I didn't say it before, "well done, Russkies".
Bob Lion54 Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Happy Birthday, Sputy! Warn us if you see any Goa'uld!
Shem Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Happy birthday to the USSR's not so well plan to reach space before the United States, but just slapped together after having plans to build a nuke that was capable of shooting at the United States hit a snag.
Jae Onasi Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Happy Birthday to the little satellite that started the space race--an actual good thing that came out of the Cold War.
tk102 Posted October 5, 2007 Author Posted October 5, 2007 Happy Birthday to the little satellite that started the space race--an actual good thing that came out of the Cold War...which then inspired sci-fi writers and directors in the 60s and 70s to write things like, I don't know ...
Sabretooth Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 The Russians pwned. Politics sucked. I wish the space race were alive today, though. You don't see anything interesting going on in space lately.
Pavlos Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Hurrah for Sputnik! You know that the model in the (London) Science Museum isn't labelled? Either they think everybody knows what it is or our poor little starting pistol is going to be lost into the mists of time; which would be more than a shame. But for now: Happy Birthday.
