Sputnik: 50 years ago today

This morning, as is my wont, I went to wend my weary way to the cafe --- to fill my veins with caffeine before I needed to use my brain.
And in the cafe, the baristas were wearing little orange pointy things on wires attached to headbands on their heads. My immediate thought was "but Sputnik wasn't orange was it??" only to realize that it is already October, and hence they were wearing early hallowe'en costumes.

Yours, in error, spookily
