54 years ago Sputnik was launched into orbit becoming the first artificial satellite to orbit the Earth. since then we have put dogs, monkey, men and over 2000 jellyfish in space, not to mention on the moon, built the international space station, and sent probes all over the place. Today my science class launched water rockets in celebration of the launch of Sputnik. did anyone else do anything special celebrating today?
I think that October 4th should be just as important as independence day or Thanksgiving -I mean, this is HUGE, I mean there's a holiday for everything else now so why not one of (if not the) most important days of Earth's history?
so happy first orbit day!!!
