Space race -2
Those days were only meant for wars. Countries used
their scientific knowledge to develop their military powers and in the same
days there were scientists who want to travel in space. Sergei Korolov a
Russian top scientist and sir warner van brown, a German scientist settled in
USA, belong to the same group who always dream about space exploration. They
know that vehicles used in mass destruction can also be used for the space
travel but the govt. wasn`t aware of this fact andwasn`t even willing to know about it.
In that
critical situation, both the scientists tried very much separately to make the govt.
accept for the space exploration and they did succeed in a very short period of
time. Now all that they have to do is to design such
a rocket which can pierce the earth`s atmosphere and reach the target SPACE and
also to design a satellite.
Space war
It was
not a war with weapons and not for the mass destruction, but it`s for the pride,
it`s for the superiority in space exploration and it`s for the title ` the
first country to put a satellite in space’. Russia, in its first test has
failed due to over weight of the satellite. Within a short span of time they were
ready to launch satellite with low weight.
The day
was October 4th, 1957, whole of Russia were waiting to see a wonder
and that date, I swear, it would be written with golden words in the history of
the world. It was a day on which a Rocket erupting the hot gases has pierced
each and every layer of earth`s atmosphere and has set the first ever satellite
into the earth`s orbit.
It was SPUTNIK, what
they named it…
