art fight attack for @robinjiaying
History changed on October 4, 1957, when the Soviet Union successfully launched Sputnik 1, the world's first artificial satellite. It was around the size of a beach ball, weighed 83.6 kg (183.9 pounds), and took about 98 minutes to orbit Earth on its elliptical path. This ushered in a new age of political, military, technological, and scientific developments, and although the Sputnik launch was a single event, it marked the start of the space age and the U.S.-U.S.S.R space race.
If you are looking for a whoops all bangers filk album, I'd love to introduce you to Carmen Miranda's Ghost. By Leslie Fish and Vic Tyler, we have my favorite filk album of all time - if you enjoy songs about a ghost haunting a starship, space shanties, the horrors of war, and tragic fates of young spacers, this album is for you!
please listen to it. I'm obsessed with this album.
Happy Sputnik day!
4 October 1957 - 63 years ago today - the first artificial satellite was put in Earth’s orbit by the Soviet Union.

He's a peculiar foreigner from a place far away who likes to smoke pipes that smell of nutmeg. Strange things tend to happen in his immediate vicinity and every time you see him he always has a different suitcase. Currently, he's writing a dissertation on human culture.
