Okay, believe it or not, Sputnik is EARLIER than 1958: October 4, 1957. But July 19, 1958 wouldn't be the date of its "re-entry", would it? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Honshells" <chonshell@ia4u.net> To: <montgomery_boats@mailman.Xmission.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 22, 2003 11:51 PM Subject: p.s. A Bit of Nautical History Oh, it's obviously not about Sputnik, because you titled it "A Bit of NAUTICAL History". ----- Original Message ----- From: "Honshells" <chonshell@ia4u.net> To: <montgomery_boats@mailman.Xmission.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 22, 2003 11:50 PM Subject: A Bit of Nautical History Well, I struck out on Google, so I sent this question to a triva-guru friend. When are you going to reveal the answer, or is it so obvious I'm going to look foolish asking? Wait . . .

The date is July 19, 1958. The time is 10am. What incredible event are you about to experience??
