[DeTomaso] NPC: on this day

My recollection is that the Russians beat the US because they already had bigger rockets for their heavy nuclear warheads, and the US had to develop new rockets to put a satellite in orbit.

Thanks Larry!!  

Yesterday JPL (and Caltech where NASA began) we had celebrations.  Some excellent DVD’s have been produced
which are probably on YouTube by now;

Explorer 1
Explorer and X minus 80 Days

Dr. Henry L. Richter gave a story lecture yesterday about those days.  He has a book out also “America’s Leap Into Space”
He had some great inside stories. The transceiver he developed is now in the Smithsonian. 

When they launched Explorer 1 there was no NASA then.  Just JPL and Caltech. The stories (1936-1958) leading up to that 
day are equaling fun to hear.  I give a history presentation (and movies) about those years.  I recently put some stuff on 
Facebook as well.  https://www.facebook.com/terry.w.himes

Also, some stuff on JPL website.

For anyone (Space Nets) in the Seattle area, I will be giving a talk about “How We Fly Deep Space Missions” at the Seattle Museum of Flight
on March 10th.


Fun Fun!

Terry
