HISTORY WAS MADE ON THIS DAY IN 1957

AWESOME SPACE TIMELINE OF AWESOMENESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! timeline | Tim

The Soviet Union launched the first animal to orbit the earth
into space—a dog nicknamed Laika—aboard the Sputnik 2
spacecraft.

Laika (above) part Siberian husky, lived as a stray on the
Moscow streets before being enlisted into the Soviet space
program.

Laika survived for a few hours as a passenger in the USSR’s
second artificial Earth satellite, kept alive by a sophisticated
life-support system.

Electrodes attached to her body provided scientists on the
ground with important information about the biological
effects of space travel. She
died from overheating and
panic.

JOINT MISSION TO THE MOON PROPOSED

Was the Apollo Program an Anomaly? - Universe Today

An optimistic and upbeat President John F. Kennedy
suggested the
Soviet Union and the United States
cooperate on a mission to mount an expedition to
the moon. The proposal caught both the Soviets
and many Americans off guard.

In 1961, shortly after his election as president, John
F. Kennedy announced that he was determined to
win the “space race” with the Soviets.

FUTURE PRESIDENT FILED UFO REPORT

Jimmy Carter Saw a UFO On This Day in 1973

Future President Jimmy Carter filed a report with the
International UFO Bureau on September 18, 1973,
claiming he had seen an Unidentified Flying Object
(
UFO) in October 1969.

During the presidential campaign of 1976, Democratic
challenger Carter was forthcoming about his belief that
he had seen a UFO. He described waiting outside for a
Lion’s Club Meeting in Leary, Georgia, to begin, at about
7:30 p.m., when he spotted what he called “the darndest
thing I’ve ever seen” in the sky.

Carter, as well as 10 to 12 other people who witnessed
the same event, described the object as “very bright
[with] changing colors and about the size of the moon.”

Carter reported that “the object hovered about 30 degrees
above the horizon and moved in toward the earth and away
before disappearing into the distance.” He later told a
reporter that, after the experience, he vowed never again
to ridicule anyone who claimed to have seen a UFO.

SPACE SHUTTLE UNVEILED ON THIS DAY

This Day in History: NASA unveils Space Shuttle Enterprise

On September 17, 1976, NASA publicly unveiled its first space
shuttle, the Enterprise, during a ceremony in Palmdale, California.

Development of the aircraft-like spacecraft cost almost $10 billion
and took nearly a decade. In 1977, the Enterprise became the first
space shuttle to fly freely when it was lifted to a height of 25,000
feet by a Boeing 747 airplane and then released, gliding back to
Edwards Air Force Base on its own accord.
