50 years of Space
On October 4th 1957, the old USSR launched Sputnik. This event triggered a series events leading to the formation of NASA, and the space race. Perhaps even more important it demonstrated what what could be done and the importance of math and science in our schoolrooms. Sputnik not only opened opened our eyes to the promise of new technology. It frightened us with its potential. This project took only three months from inception to implementation, has shaped much of where we are today.
