Reply ↓ Tatyana October 4, 2019 at 22:36 it’s friday evening and you may be spending time with your friends, new generation uses “going social” term for this activity. Just to keep the topic up and alive: do you know it is October 4, 62 years ago, when the first Sputnik was launched? I think, if this little metal thing were alive, he (or she) would smile while flying around the planet and making his (her) beeping ? The place was Tyura-Tam complex – now it is Baikonur cosmodrom. USSR dissolved and the polygon went into posesssion of Kazakhstan. We (Russia) still use it and pay good 10 billions roubles annually for rent. Reply ↓ Brianfujisan October 4, 2019 at 23:21 Tatyana.. Thank You.. And Well Done your Crew. Watch this video I took Last Night..in A Forest in Scotland – COSMOS – I walked around this – I was Born in Reply ↓ Brianfujisan October 4, 2019 at 23:30 Sorry The Link – COSMOS – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLLhA2fZMGI Reply ↓ Tatyana October 5, 2019 at 00:14 magnifisent show, Brianfujisan, thanks for filming it and for sharing! btw, I listed through 1957 in Wiki to know what people were doing then. Pope Pius XII called for the peace in the Middle East and to stop weapons race. Popes seem to know something about eternity ? Reply ↓ Pyewacket October 4, 2019 at 23:34 Hi Tatiana, thanks for reminding us of this 62 year old, historical event, and great achievement in space exploration. I guess, if little Sputnik were still orbiting the Earth, things will have got a whole lot more congested over the past six decades. They say that 5G roll out will take 1000s more satellites, so near Earth orbit looks like its going to get busier. Reply ↓ Tatyana October 5, 2019 at 00:23 if little Sputnik were still orbiting, she (he) would stop smiling, definitely. Reply ↓ Brianfujisan October 5, 2019 at 00:42 IT’s a Good Thing RT news keeps Sputnik on peoples minds..Though I have been Going off George Galloway. I have a feeling you would Enjoy reading ‘ The Martian ‘ Book.. Tatyana October 5, 2019 at 00:57 I’ve seen the film with Mattew Damon, you may know him by Ocean’s Friends or Dogma. Pyewacket says about 1000 more satellites for 5G and I’m thinking of how people use Internet. Texting each other by Whatsapp “buy bread” or “where are u?” ? Ah, look what I’ve got for your friday night entertainment – World Leaders chat https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=410846366236911 Reply ↓ Deb O'Nair October 4, 2019 at 23:44 If this was a US achievement it would today have been celebrated as an example of the supremeness of “Western” (i.e. Nazi) technology and advancement, ushering in a new era for mankind, opening up the frontiers of global communications and space exploration, a landmark achievement in the story of the human race. But as it is largely Russian it gets totally ignored. Reply ↓ Tatyana October 5, 2019 at 00:31 And this would also make little Sputnik stop smiling, I think it would feel offended and betrayed, if alive. But another good thing that happened 1957 – “12 angry Men” film, by USA. Maybe, the things are not that bad. Reply ↓ Hatuey October 5, 2019 at 00:55 I always thought 12 Angry Men would have been more interesting if the guy was guilty. Tatyana October 5, 2019 at 01:05 Mikhalkov made russian version titled “12” and the boy is chechen adopted by a russian officer. It really adds some real emotion for the russian auditory.
