The program tonight at the Astronomical Society of Long Island was a DVD "The Fever of 57 - The Sputnik Movie." It is a stunning documentary that traces the launch of the satellite, and the the immediate arms race for space that resulted from the paranoia of both governments. It only stopped when Eisenhower and Kruschev talked face to face, and because both were ex military men, they agreed to stop the race for weapons in space. This shows the DVD playing from a laptop via a projector. And the scene is a bomber dropping an atomic bomb. I wanted to shoot something completely different today. I think this shot does it.
