Sputnik launch
(It was a couple weeks after I was born and parents used that as a nickname for me on occasion lol)
Be sure to post your own date and place…
Sputnik 1 was launched Oct 4, 1957. The date I gave was the launch date of a sputnik (which is just the Russian word for satellite). In particular it was Sputnick 2 also know as Muttnick which carried the first live animal into space.
Right, then.

I know that only because it’s the day after the Kennedy assassination. Dr. Who’s debut on TV.

You were right.
Since you’re passing…

Then I think it’s the Tyson fight against I can’t recall after which Tupac Shakur was shot.
The shooting of Tupac is what we were looking for. Proceed.

The capture of U-505! Got to see it in Chicago last year and take the tour. Being captured was probably the best thing that happened to the poor Germans who were stuffed into that overheated, smelly, cramped tin can.
