Happy 65th B’day Sputnik — “Fellow Traveller.” Launched by the USSR Oct 4, 1957 At the time, the United States lost its shit. Not because we hadn’t yet launched anything, but because a hollowed-out Intercontinental Ballistic Missile shell delivered the little satellite to orbit. https://t.co/eefSJgKmgT — PolitiTweet.org
