1.6 APOD

50th Anniversary of Sputnik
This is cool, but also very eerie. I've always wondered what Sputnik really meant, now I know and it's really not how I expect it to be. It's strange how Sputnik is named a "traveling companion" and it's used to spy on others. What's really strange is that the Soviets sent a dog into orbit a month after the first Sputnik. Why a dog...?
