[meteorite-list] OT: Happy Birthday Sputnik...50

[drtanuki]

Hi List,
  Sputnik is now 50!  Time flys.  What does this have
to do with meteorites?...much more than you might
first think!...it totally changed our history and this
One Step for Mankind will continue to lead to our
future (survival/destruction) as well.

 Congrats to the dedicated
Russians/Germans/Amerikans/Humans that worked dearly,
for this feat regardless of the negatives it ushered
in with all of the positives.  Their personal
sacrifice should be remembered.

Anyone want to tune in their radio?
bleep..............................bleep...

BTW how far into space has Sputnik`s message now
traveled after 50years???  Sterling...anyone???

Best Regards, Dirk Ross...Tokyo
