When I was a little child, the Russian sputnik would
travel around the globe and we could see it in the sky, swinging from
west to east like a moving star. At the same time, the radio ( I believe
it was ABC) , would play the noise the satellite was making as it
travelled over Australia - which was a PING.......PING.......PING.........
It was the most progressive sound of an idea I had ever heard. My
parents told me that it was the start of humans spreading into space. |
