Re: New Sputnik Documentary

Interesting. I didn't know about how you couldn't really see Sputnik.

Here's another question for everyone. According to the film
(www.sputnikmovie.com), the launch of Sputnik was one of the most
important events in U.S. history, on par with Pearl Harbor and 9/11.
Do you agree? Why or why not?
