Earth's first-ever artificial satellite Sputnik launched on October 4, 1957 . In that moment, which occurred sixty-five years ago, the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union transformed into a race to dominate not only Earth but also space.
But there was more to the launch than met the eye — behind the development of satellites to orbit Earth was a more nefarious purpose.

The first profile in Success Stories in STEM: Space is Madalynne LaLanne, who has been asking questions as long as she can remember. LaLanne is an environmental test technician at SpaceX and is working to be an engineer.
"During college, some professors were running a cube satellite testing lab to test different types of satellites that they wanted to put into space," said Madalynne LaLanne, environmental test technician at SpaceX in Hawthorne, CA. "I was really interested in that since satellites are really ...
'Pale blue dots' like Earth may be rare among habitable worlds | Space
According to a new study, Earth-like planets with about 30% of their surface covered by exposed continental land may make up only 1% of rocky worlds in stars' habitable zones, the areas around stars where liquid water can exist on a planet's surface.
The researchers came to this conclusion by modeling the relationship between water in a planet's mantle and a planet's recycling of continental land via plate tectonics.
New rocket science course lets you learn about spaceflight | Space
Varsity Tutors has a class for aspiring rocket scientists, with no experience necessary. The class walks you through the basics of how to get a rocket into space , assuming a middle-school level background. The class runs on Thursday (Oct.
"Rocket propulsion is one of those things that's very dramatic," tutor Greg Brown, who works at the Armstrong Air & Space Museum in Ohio, told Space.com. "It shows us these exciting images of big things blasting off with a lot of power, a lot of heat and light. It's exciting."
Africa in space: continent has a lot to gain, but proper plans must be put in place
Every year in October nearly 100 countries organise activities to mark World Space Week . The theme this year is space and sustainability.
Sputnik happened partly due to the cold war rivalry between the US and the former Soviet Union. During this period, most African countries were still under colonial rule. Only Ghana had gained independence, earlier that year.

She set sail as a U.S. Navy research vessel, shipped out as postage stamp, entered circulation on the reverse of a coin and stood tall as a monument. Now, America's first woman in space is set to return to Earth orbit as the namesake of a space station-bound cargo capsule (opens in new tab) .
From Army veteran to space scientist - OU News
When Open University graduate Ian Muirhead isn't searching for moons and exoplanets, he's inspiring the next generation of space scientists to reach for the stars. It's a career he never dreamed possible when he left school at 15 without any qualifications.
At 19, Ian joined the Army as a Telecommunications Systems Operator serving The Royal Corps of Signals. He says, "When I was in that environment, working on military radio and satellite telecommunications networks, I started to develop and realise just what I could do."
