50 years ago, on this day, an event took place that set in motion a sweeping change in every aspect of human existence. The 183 pound basketball sized Sputnik 1 was placed in orbit by pioneering Soviet scientists on Oct 4th 1957. Today we cannot imagine how life would be without the aid of the hundreds of artificial satellites enabling things we now take for granted: GPS, TV, Radio, Internet, weather prediction, Live Telecasts.

Kudos to the russian designers, engineers and technicians who really heralded the dawn of a new age!
