I thought that this would be an appropriate place to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the first man-made object in orbit!

beep....beep....beep   (in the good old days when this wasn't a stand in for unsavoury vocabulary).

I managed to rope old Sputnik into a lecture to this morning. Sigh - not one of the 26 students knew of the anniversary, and not all knew what Sputnik was or meant.
