Harrumph retracted, I clicked the NASA link (now that it's lunch and I can browse more freely).

Sorry Kevy, I spoke too soon. Quelle Moron!

My Grandpa (who was a structural engineer) told stories about Sputnik.

The week after it went up, US Government representatives started showing up at university and private research centers asking "How much do you need?"

And thus was JPL built.

God bless the Russians!

I'm really hoping the Chinese get their collective butt's in gear and put a man on the moon or even head for mars.....
