Sputnik, 1st Space Satellite Launched by Soviets 1957/10/7

[dogtowner93]

funny how the americans lost then said that the space race would then be directed to the moon best way to come second at something and say you came first

[Marakulous43]

@dogtowner93 Who cares?

[hebneh]

The immediate fame of the word "sputnik" in the USA inspired numerous other words that used the Russian "-nik" suffix, like "beatnik".

[ToxicOdiousOne]

The space race never ended. The Cold War continues as we fall to communism. Don't be so dismissive of everything as being history and therefore irrelevant. If everything is over then why do anything? What motivates such an unmotivated person? Why be lawful citizens?

[ToxicOdiousOne]

It sure is when NASA's primary mission is making Muslim's feel better about themselves.

[ToxicOdiousOne]

So now Obama wants us to fall behind the Russiabs in the space race? Senator you are no Jack Kennedy.

[vava54own]

@ToxicOdiousOne

The space race is over.

Sputnik re-entered earths atmosphere in 1952

[TheJomogogo]

@RICKROLLBLENDER

It reentered the atmosphere in 1952 ? Wow that's quite a trick since it was launched in 1957.

It was in orbit for about a year before coming down in '58.

[RICKROLLBLENDER]

It's amazing how in fifty years we got from scientists exclusively using computers all the way to my 18 year old self watching this video on YouTube with an IBM Thinkpad.

[3ricjohnson]

nigga please

[rukieishere]

Americans make me laugh sometimes

[bombarderoazul]

The R7 was more powerful than anything the americans had at the time.

[MightySaturn5]

considering the Saturn 1 was first launched a very short time later this 3 year period was the last time they could claim the most powerful rocket

[jackanoryjames]

@bombarderoazul I thought is was launched by a Soyuz type rocket...

[bombarderoazul]

@jackanoryjames Yes it was, The R-7 forms the base of the Soyus rocket.

[Skullthizor]

haha your spelling makes me laugh

[edgeofspace]

This is a Vanguard Launch Vehicle

[starbase121]

[acb06172005]

[ThreeCharlieKilo]

LOL, that rocket is WAY off, LOL.

[Hoskins1942]

Happy 50th Jubliee Golden "Sputink" Anniversary Celebration..

[fromthesidelines]

Universal had to use "artist's conception" animation in lieu of actual footage of the Russian satellite [U-I's newsreel had a less than impressive track record of providing certain "on the spot" news footage over the years..], but you can imagine how movie patrons were shocked at this development in October 1957.

[123456der]

sputnik

[kneel]

hahah the "IBM" logo is awesome

[HK379]

@kneel

[kneel]

@HK379 Yeah it emails me. I didn't even remember posting that! I worked for IBM at that time.

[HK379]

@kneel

Not debating that . Just said they didnt use IBM on Sputnik . Silly .

[kneel]

@HK379 How about "I think the IBM logo on the computer drawn in the artist rendition of the computer in the video, is cool"

[HK379]

@kneel

not when its on a Soviet computer in a movie about a Soviet satalite .

[kneel]

@HK379 the comment 4 years ago said "i like the IBM logo". says nothing else. Stop being a troll.

[HK379]
