(meteorobs) 50th Anniversary of the Space Age!

[George Gliba]

Greetings,

    Today is the 50th anniversary of the Dawn of the Space Age! With all 
the attention
that is on the Project Moonwatch teams, it would be interesting to know 
if many telescopic
meteors were recorded in the hundreds of hours of logged observing times 
with RFT
Moonwatch telescopes. Below are a couple links to Spitnick-1 related 
articles.

   The second link has an article with an actual recording of 
Sputnick-1. Pause and reflect
on the significance of this day,

Clear Skies,
