Here is a photo of part of the celebration in Russia of the launch of the Spudnik 50 years ago today. Spudnik was the very first satellite. If not for this historic event, how would our lives differ? Russia ignited the American competitive spirit when it launched Spudnik. The race to the moon began. Russia and the USA were neck and neck for a long time.
