There's a filk song about Sputnik that makes this point as its punchline. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-mZ9pKvCmk - "Surprise!" Sputnik wore out and spiraled back to Earth
On re-entry it burned up very soon
Hail and good-bye to that goose in the sky...
And in 12 more years a man walked on the Moon!
I find it far from trite, I'm continuously amazed by this as well. |
