On This Day in 1957

Happy Sputnik Day. On October 4th, 1957 the USSR launched the very first satellite into Earth orbit disjointing countless noses here in the US.

Pictured above is the backup Sputnik that was to be launched should the first attempt have failed. It can be found at the Cosmosphere in Hutchinson Kansas along with many more air and space wonders.

Cassini 🪐 Cassini was a sophisticated robotic spacecraft sent to study and capture the beauty of Saturn. She embarked on a great adventure and made many fascinating discoveries along her way. Until finally, with one last maneuver, she plunged into the gas giant and perished in a final, fatal embrace. She became one with her muse for an eternity. You can read more about the original Cassini’s journey here and here :)

The real thing may have only been the size of a beach ball, but making Sputnik the same height as Yuri Gagarin was too good of an idea to pass up.
