My, oh my….How things have changed…since the 50’s
With Sputnik then:
And, 2021…top photo.
Of course, the USSR putting the first ‘artificial moon’ into orbit, launched the “Space Race”
Which, in many respects, became like a COSMIC Olympics, in the COLD WAR age, we Baby Boomers grew up in
Laika was a Soviet space dog who became one of the first animals in space, and the first animal to orbit the Earth. Laika, a stray mongrel from the streets of Moscow, was selected to be the occupant of the Soviet spacecraft Sputnik 2 that was launched into outer space on 3 November 1957. Wikipedia
Yet, nary a protest from the ASPCA…for cruelty to animals.
Along with like 70+ other ‘man’s & woman’s BEST FRIENDS
Not to mention, the fate of SPACE CHIMPS
Now here’s one that actually survived
although from launch to splashdown only lasted 16 minutes!
Don’t say it!! Too late…you already did…
“Well, I’ll be a monkey’s uncle!!”
But enough already with historical background context…
Let’s fast forward to the dawn of SPUTNIK 5!!
NOW that mankind (sorry…should I now say PEOPLEKIND?
Yes…now that PEOPLEKIND have ‘conquered’ space
and all these multi-billionaires who People the front pages of news media every day…
Titans of tech….with plans to fly us to MARS…
when this fair ‘planet’ is ‘too far gone’
WE (people kind?) now have a ‘stop-gap’ method
to keep us ‘ticking’
in the face of a modern day ‘Plague’
novel coronavirus-19
So some of us (people kind)
can eventually be flown off to Mars
like Matt Damon??
Or, if that don’t strike your fancy, howse about?
So…don’t worry…be happy! We’ve (Peoplekind) GOT THIS!
Sinopharm has it’s version of vaccine, to supplement Sputnik 5…until We are the World…We are the People…
Gen…somethings…
FLY AWAY….??
Somehow, at 70 earth orbits around the sun…
