Report on the Results:
We had two short speakers: Jack Boyd, the oldest employee of NASA-Ames who has worked here for 60 years, back when the centre was a NACA site. He recounted how Sputnik shook the world and how, in particular, the US reacted to it and the consequential formation of NASA. Then we had a Russian engineer who was in Russia during the launch as a young boy. He recounted the experience from that perspective.
