[amsat-bb] THANKS TO ALL FOR THE SPUTNIK EVENT

Tonight was truly fantastic and historic. My thanks to all for the hard work they undoubtedly put into this night.

Fifty years ago today, that same sound was certainly met with fear and trepidation, as well as amazment and curiosity. The idea of a transmitter orbiting the earth...and at a time when the Cold War and countless "space-themed" B-Movies....it must have been incredible.

Great event! Can't wait fot the certificate to come!
