I saw Sputnik. Well it may have been 50 tomorrow that I saw it. A bright spot of light moving rapidly through the night sky above Sydney. I seem to remember it took about two hours to come round again.
It caused great excitement of course. Most nights are too cloudy these days to see such things. Ah well - the image is still bright.

how fantastic i can't imagine how that must have been - speaking as one who stuggled to identify halley bop thru a telescope on the top of the empire state building. nor can i picture that sight in my memory - but i do have the fantastic memory of an american guy passing the telescope to me and rishing to put more money in when the time ran out just after he passed it to me to look. Such kindness and eagerness to share this amazing thing aint life grand? We have to accept other people's "imperfections" if we want them to accept ours |

Wow, Wow and Wow, I got goosebumps reading this. I cannot imagine how cool it must have been to see such an important event with your own eyes.
