On Oct. 24, 1946, soldiers and scientists at White Sands Missile Range launched a V-2 missile carrying a 35-millimeter motion picture camera that took the first shots of Earth from space. These images were taken at an altitude of 65 miles, just above the accepted beginning of outer space.
Sputnik 1 was the first artificial Earth satellite. The Soviet Union launched it into an elliptical low Earth orbit on 4 October 1957. It orbited for three weeks before its batteries died.
On April 1, 1960, NASA launched TIROS-1 (Television Infrared Observation Satellite), the nation's first weather satellite. On the same day it launched, TIROS-1 sent back the image at the top of this post. It was the first TV image of the Earth taken from orbit. TIROS-2 launched in November 1960 and failed in January of 1961. *** THE SOURCE OF THIS IMAGE***
Today: Morons like this OP have no understanding of science, physics or history because they are completely lazy fucking idiots.
