SPUTNIK's Mission - Solar System Exploration - [Documentary] "Vodka for everyone!" Sergei Korolev about Sputnik 1 Sputnik 1 - a small spacecraft, the first artificial satellite of the Soviet Union, and even of the Earth. It was so primitively constructed, it looked like a bowling ball with attached car antennas. The enclosure was made of 2 mm sheet. Inside it had 3 batteries and a radio transmitter, transmitting over and over on the 20 and 40 MHz the most annoying sound in the world sounding like a beep, beep, beep. Satellite was launched by rocket R-7 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome on October 4, 1957. The batteries ran out on 25 October. After traveling 60 million km (circumambulated Earth 1,400 times) it burned down on January 4, 1958. The success of Sputnik 1 was one of the main topics in the press around the world, e.g. in "The Communist Truth" or in "New York Times".

Do americans find it so difficult to stay focused on subject at hand that they have to spend majority of the document talking about themselves rather than talk about Sputnik, soviet space program and I dont know.. Sergei Korolev? This is a trend among american documentaries.
