      Oh little Sputnik flying high
      With built-in Moscow beep
      You tell the world its a commie sky
      And Uncle Sam’s asleep

    6. Cool - I saw Google’s Sputnik thing and wondered why they had it. I forgot that today was the day it went up and circled the Earth. My dad says he remembers back when he lived in a smaller town and his friends looked up and saw it go across the sky at night.
