[edit] Fiftieth anniversary coming up
Is it possible to bring this article up to "Featured Article" quality by Oct 4, 2007, the 50th anniversary of Sputnik I and the start of the Space Age? TechBear 21:00, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
- This 50th anniversary Newsweek article claims that the U.S. was shocked by the launch is a myth[1] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.114.117.103 (talk) 20:12, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- The Newsweek article is junk, just something one of their staff writers whipped up. Sadly, this article is not very high quality. I would suggest "featuring" the Sputnik-1 article, which is somewhat better but still not very good. DonPMitchell 19:38, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

It's in the Air and Space Museum? How did America get their mitts on the last surviving piece of Sputnik? That's a story that would be handy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pittsburghmuggle (talk • contribs) 16:34, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
