Two Words for You: "Sput"..."Nik"

Fifty years ago today, Sputnik 1 was the first artificial satellite to be put into geocentric orbit.

Time to dust off my Iron Giant DVD and enjoy a good movie set in that time period. If you haven't seen the movie, go rent it. Good stuff.

50 years ago I was just leaving Japan and wazn't much aware of any current events. (How do you like my new spelling of wasn't? My contribution to the advancement of the English language.)
