太空时代50年

归档于: 本站杂记, 站内随笔 @ 8:01 pm

其实是昨天的事情了,也就是人造地球卫星一号发射50周年纪念。虽然冷战造就的这颗卫星功能极其有限,能抢先放飞实属幸运,在轨工作的时间也不过区区数月,但它带来的影响却是无人能及,这其中包括NASA的成立和日后的登月竞赛。

昨天连Google的图标都换了模样:

当年人造地球卫星一号发回地球的信号,正是这听起来毫不引人注意的哔哔声震惊了世界,也开启了一个时代。

不多说了,贴歌纪念,Surprise

Remember the fifties, those fat complacent days
When the future seemed a century away?
Then up went Sputnik, gave the world a butt-kick,
And made it clear tomorrow starts today.

Beep beep beep beep…Hello there!
Sputnik sails giggling through the skies.
Red flags, red faces, jump into the race
As the space age begins with a surprise. (well duh!)

You generals once thought Von Braun a waste of cash,
And Goddard needed treatment really bad.
Then that global shot put gave you the hotfoot
And — beep beep — you’re blasted off the pad.

Beep beep beep beep…Hello there!
Sputnik sails giggling through the skies.
Red flags, red faces, jump into the race
As the space age begins with a surprise. (well duh!)

Done for a threat, propaganda or prestige –
The point is, the thing was in the sky.
It made the generals frown and put their money down,
And meet that bet or know the reason why.

Beep beep beep beep…Hello there!
Sputnik sails giggling through the skies.
Red flags, red faces, jump into the race
As the space age begins with a surprise. (well duh!)

That’s how it started, all those years ago,
The push that got us climbing into space.
Cynic beginnings, greed for big winnings.
But look at all we’ve gotten from that race!

Beep beep beep beep…Hello there!
Sputnik sails giggling through the skies.
Red flags, red faces, jump into the race
As the space age begins with a surprise. (well duh!)

Sputnik wore out, and spiraled back to Earth;
On re-entry it burned up very soon.
Hail and goodbye to that goose in the sky –
And in twelve more years a man walked on the Moon!

Beep beep beep beep…Hello there!
Sputnik sails giggling through the skies.
Red flags, red faces, jump into the race
As the space age begins with a surprise. (well duh!)
