We're still having fun rounding up our picks for this year's prettiest games, but we wanted to give you a snimpse of another one of our finds: the game Sputnik. For a sci-fi-themed tabletop game, it's rather stylistically cute.
In this post you can expect some tech stuff. Hope you like it! Starting off post with a track from Zoo Brazil’s new album. It’s called “Sputnik”! Cool tech stuff. Really flipped!

Sputnik Mania is a semi documentary movie about the launch of Sputnik 50 years ago. The event almost triggered a nuclear World War III. Global catastrophe was averted, however, because of a private agreement between two ex-generals. Now, with the help of recently released documents from the former Soviet Union, the full story of [...]

The Sputnik Legacy: Timeline of 50 years of Space exploration and a look inside the Sputnik 1, world’s first artificial satellite, launched by the Soviet Union on October 4, 1957. Nice visualization by Xaquin G.V. and Kevin Hand.
Lo so, sembra una cazzata, tipo “Costruisci la tua bomba atomica” con Maccio Capatonda & co, invece questa notizia l’ho trovata sul sito della BBC, e dovrebbe essere tutto vero..
Lo Sputnik 1 fu il primo satellite artificiale in orbita nella storia. Venne lanciato il 4 ottobre 1957 dal cosmodromo di Baikonur, nell’odierno Kazakistan, grazie al vettore R-7 (Semyorka). In russo la parola Sputnik significa compagno di viaggio, inteso come satellite in astronomia.
Fu progettato dall’Unione Sovietica, dopo anni di duro lavoro, grazie alla collaborazione di ingegneri e scienziati, oggi puoi costruirlo comodamente in giardino!
come?
Ce lo spiega Paul Rubens!
E’ stati indetto anche un concorso:
“Do you fancy building you own Sputnik? We’ve given you an idea how easy it could be, now the Magazine wants to hear from willing volunteers. We can even come and film you putting it together. We’ll also investigate how to get your Sputniks laun
Cortesía de Laura (¡gracias!), el audio del programa "Sputnik" del 9 de Octubre de 2007:---Hoy El Faro publica una entrevista con el escultor Iñaki Ruiz de Eguino, del que ya comentamos algo en este post anterior.Es el autor de la escultura que se colocará en Honorio Lozano, y en dicha entrevista desvela su ubicación concreta. Así que si quieren saberlo... ¡vayan a leerla! XDLa obra en cuestión tendrá el aspecto de la imagen adjunta, según se ve en la web del escultor.---A los aficionad@s a la Fórmula 1 quizá les divierta este vídeo:7 de Octubre: declarado Día Mundial de San Ganchao XDD---Y, para acabar, la obra ganadora en Cataluña del concurso de dibujo infantil "¿Qué es un Rey para tí?":Es sólo una broma, que nadie se mosquee. ¡Y menos algún juez puntilloso!

On October 4, 1957, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik and Science education changed in the United States. Money poured into schools to enhance the study of Science at every grade level. Materials for hands-on learning, textbooks, and lab equipment were all improved in order to promote a new generation of students who would flourish in every area of Science.Robert Yager in School Science and Mathematics wrote:Science and mathematics education have been linked to technological advances, the economy, and the well being of the United States citizenry since the Sputnik Shock of 1957. In the 20 years following the Soviet exploits in space, $2 billion were expended to advance K-12 science education in the US. It was a response designed to salve the nation’s wounded pride and the beginning of the dramatic infusion of funds and scientific talents to improve school science and mathematics.Science education has certainly improved and is probably the most consistent “hands-on” subject in our
Bulan ini, tepatnya 50 tahun yang lalu, tepatnya pada 4 oktober 1957, jam 19:28:34 UTC (22:28:34 MSK) sebuah satelit buatan manusia yang pertama mengangkasa dengan bantuan roket R-7 Semyorka yang merupakan roket modifikasi dari roket balistik antarbenua (ICMB/intercontinental ballistic missile) yang tujuan awalnya untuk mengangkut hulu ledak nuklir. Sputnik 1 ("Satellite-1", (PS-1, atau Elementary Satellite-1)) dibuat oleh Uni Soviet /USSR(Rusia sekarang) pada Era Perang Dingin.

This Op-Ed by Matthew Brzezinski in the Los Angeles Times, reprinted in C-J. (This first official picture of the Soviet satellite Sputnik I was issued in Moscow on Oct. 9, 1957.)Few Americans have heard of Sergei Pavlovich Korolev. But he is the reason that NASA was created and that we went to the moon. It is because of this anonymous Russian that we have federally backed college loans and National Football League games on DirecTV. The Chief Designer, as Korolev was mysteriously known because his true identity was a Soviet state secret, almost single-handedly started the space and missile races.Thanks largely to this bullheaded survivor of Stalin's gulag, a man who lost all his teeth and nearly his life in Siberian camps, the Republican Party lost the White House in 1960, and Lyndon B. Johnson secured a place on John F. Kennedy's ticket and ultimately became the 36th president.All this is just some of the fallout from Sputnik, the tiny Soviet satellite that Korolev and his team launc
I was a small child when the Russians launched Sputnik in 1957--still at the age when recess was the highlight of the school day for me and my friends. Current world events were rarely deemed worthy of our attention. In this case, though, we all knew something extraordinary had happened: there was something in the night sky that people--strange people in a faraway place--had put there. Of all thos
Hillary Rodham Clinton used today’s the 50th anniversary of the Soviets launch of the Sputnik satellite to unveil a science agenda that would include a presidential executive order allowing “ethical stem cell research’’ and banning political appointees from altering the scientific conclusions in government publications.Clinton also called on a focus on alternative energy – “We can call it energy 2.0’’ – that would end the United State’s dependence on foreign oil.Clinton, who is seeking the Democratic nomination for president, pledged that if elected she would have a science advisor in the White House who will report directly to the president.Even before Clinton uttered a word of her speech, she came under attack from the Republican National Committee which pointed out she “is lecturing about math, even though she’s having trouble adding up the figures to pay for her own health care plan.’’Clinton did not put a dollar figure on her entire package, but she has
Hoy hace solo 50 años del lanzamiento del primer satélite artificial de la Tierra, el Sputnik 1 (Спутник-1). Creado por la Unión Soviética (URSS para los amigos) se lanzó un 4 de Octubre de 1957 y dio varias vueltas a la tierra emitiendo una señal de radio.
50 años del primer satélite y hoy en día somos capaces de enviar tripulaciones al espacio y crear una estación permanente (bueno, están en ello…). Como colofón, no os perdáis el artículo de Andrés Ripoll en El País de hoy sobre este particular cumpleaños.
Enlace: 50 years ago, Sputnik changed technology
Fifty years ago today the Russian satellite Sputnik 1 was launched into orbit, thus beginning the space race. As a result Google has a new doodle today.
Sputnik wikipedia page
Do you remember? Now it is 50 years ago! The starting signal for the race in the universe was a beep. As the Soviet Union on 4. October 1957 - with the Sputnik the first artificial satellite into an earth orbit shot, possessed this nothing else as a robust radio station. “First! ”, the beep signaled to the Americans. As reaction on the Sputnik the USA altogether 25.4 billion a dollar expensive research program to adjust the "disgrace of the Sputnik" (John F. Kennedy) witch was done by the moon-landing of Neil Armstrong to 21. July 1969.
Da heute überall zu lesen ist, das vor 50 Jahren der Sputnik ins All geschossen wurde um dort während ein paar Erdumrundungen zu piepsen, kann ich mich nicht zurückhalten auch über Sputnik(s) - auf spanisch spricht man das Esputnik aus - zu schreiben, die mir hier so begegnet sind. Was tut man nicht alles um [...]

A 184 pound metallic beeping ball - an artificial moon - rocketed into space today October 4, 1957.
This metallic ball, the Sputnik could be seen in the night sky, and marked mans ability to leave this blue little planet behind.
Amateur radio operators throughout the world could listen to its beeping transmissions as it passed overhead.
It sparked a renewed interest in science, and a race between Soviet Union and the United States to see who would be the first to land on the moon.
A race that was won by the United States 12 years later.
Can it be, that 50 years have passed already?
Today we take television from around the world, satellite maps of the earth, weather satellite images from space for granted, yet it's only been a half-century since that first Sputnik echoed our arrival at the space frontier and the new age of the satellite.
Although they are not Sputnik, we to have embarked on a new frontier.

Sputnik 1 A technology invention the size of a basketball set off fierce competition between the United States and the U.S.S.R. 50 years ago this week, when Sputnik I launched and began the space race. The satellite weighed just under 185 pounds and orbited the Earth in 98 minutes, according to NASA, which came into existence because of Sputnik. The launch, on Oct. 4, 1957, marked the dawn of the Space Age. Five years earlier, the International Council of Scientific Unions declared July 1, 1957, through Dec. 31, 1958, the International Geophysical Year, which would coincide with the peak of the 11-year cycle of sunspot activity. The United States created a committee to plan satellite launches and research programs to study cosmic rays, gravity, solar activity, and other phenomenon during that "year." By 1954, the United States planned to launch satellites to map the Earth's services. The White House announced those plans in 1955. Then, the Soviets beat U.S. scientists and polic

Laura ha sido tan amable (mil gracias de nuevo) de enviarnos el audio del programa Sputnik del pasado 17 de Julio, donde fueron tan amables (e insensatos) de otorgarnos el II premio Sputnik de Oro. Con el de hojalata íbamos bien servidos, pero...Sputnik 17-07-2007. Versión reducida (8'12")Sputnik 17-07-2007. Versión extendida (17'47")---Copiamos a continuación el correo enviado a Sputnik, en respuesta a su invitación del día 13.15-jul-2007 11:46Hola compañeros. Muchas gracias por la invitación, aunque, por motivos que suponemos entenderéis, no podremos asistir. Pasadlo muy bien en la fiesta y tomaros una copa (o varias) por nosotros.La verdad es que estamos muy sorprendidos con el resultado, hasta ahora, de las votaciones. Nos da bastante apuro ver que nuestro blog va por delante en el resultado y se esté valorando menos el trabajo de otras personas o entidades que, sin duda, merecen mucho más que nosotros este premio o cualquier otro.El Foro Social de la Sierra y Alpedret
¿Ves ese lugar? ¿Sí? Pues allí antes había un lago. Ahora no queda nada pero antes había un lago enorme. Y allí íbamos a bañarnos, a nadar... a navegar con las barcas... Pasábamos jugando en el lago todo el verano. Pero un día, de repente, mientras un grupo de patos estaban plácidamente nadando en sus aguas, bajó mucho la temperatura, tanto, que el lago se congeló. Los patos al alzar el vuelo se llevaron el lago con ellos. Ahora dicen que ese mismo lago está en algún lugar de Georgia. ¡Imagínate!(De la película "Tomates verdes fritos", 1991)¿Y la supermegachachiguay fuente de la Plaza de España? ¿Se la han llevado los patos a algún lugar de... Albacete?Porque lo cierto es que hoy, 21 de Junio, sigue sin estar terminada la fuente. Un nuevo hito que añadir a la cronología de la Plaza de España. Una nueva tomadura de pelo, una nueva chapuza. Se habla de filtraciones de agua en el túnel, pero, evidentemente, no podemos confirmar lo que no podemos ver. En la image
According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, the US has a long history of federal involvement in education. They trace it all the way back to 1965 and some of the "Great Society" legislation of President Lyndon B. Johnson.
NCLB culminates more than four decades of federal expansion into public education, beginning largely with the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965. As
