Sputnik

from the person who built Liverpool his name was something scouse. I am a scouser and I have ate scouse once it is just the same as stew. I am 13 and love living in Liverpool!

great answer from the lad above but unfortunatley not true.

the word "scouse" originates from an old seamans meal probably tracing its past back to the old germanic "labskaus" which was a stew with the cheapest parts of the animal its meat could provide mixed with potatoes and anything else that could be thrown in ( a poormans meal). it became known as "lobscouse" and is known in parts of lancashire and the north of England as "lobby". the meal differs from place to place but was made famous by the liverpudlians who by cause or nature turned it into their traditional dish; hence the word "scouse" and the nickname of "scousers" referring to folk from Liverpool. what the lad above was referring to is a legend that a giant called "john scouse" built Liverpool, sorry lad, this is a bit of our scouse propaganda I'm afraid, would be great if it were true though. scousers are known to be funny hard knocks, so do not mess with them!

The word "gaggle" originated from Middle English, derived from the Old English "gagol," which represents a group of geese. It is used to describe a collection of geese on the ground or water and has since been extended to refer to a group of noisy, chattering people.

The word was once used to denote the division of the twelve sects of ancient Hebrews. Also, the word tribe can be traced back to the the Latin word "tribus", which was used to describe the division political divisions of the Roman state.

A Stickler is someone who unyieldingly insists on something. The earliest Sticklers were umpires or referees at wrestling or fencing matches. The word comes from the Anglo-Saxon 'Stihtan' - to arrange or regulate. I must admit I had a good idea where it came from. I saw an article in our 1860 newspapers about Cornish wrestling and the referees were called "sticklers". So I presumed it was a Cornish word but maybe it had currency in Wales and Ireland too.

Sputnik didn't humiliate the US; it triggered the space race and heightened Cold War tensions.

Sputnik I went into low Earth orbit on 4 October 1957 and provided information on the density of the upper atmosphere, and basic information about the ionosphere.Sputnik II went into orbit on 3 November 1957 carrying the first (intentional) living passenger, a part Samoyed terrier named Kudryavka (Koo-dri-yav-ka, meaning "Little Curly"), who was later renamed Laika (Li-ka, meaning "Barker"). PS-2's mission was to gather biological information about Laika, to survey via Geiger counters charged particles in the upper atmosphere, and to read ultraviolet and x-ray emissions and cosmic rays with the onboard spectrometer.

Well, a major disadvantage or problem, of using satellite television services, is that whenever inclement weather occurs, a television set that is connected to a receiver that receives its signal from a DirecTV Satellite Television OR Dish Network Satellite Television Satellite Dish, glitches up.

The name comes from Afrikaans/Dutch spelling of rhebok, a type of African antelope or gazelle. The company, founded in 1895, was originally called Mercury Sports but was renamed Reebok in 1958.

He pushed for improvements in science education. The whole country was shocked that the Russians were able to put up the first satellite. The rockets used to launch satellites could also be used in military application, so that fact caused concern.

Sputnik I orbited Earth for about 3 months before decaying into Earth's atmosphere and burning up. Sputnik I burned up over 50 years ago.

Sputnik's launch in 1957 sparked a renewed emphasis on science and math education in the United States, leading to the creation of the National Defense Education Act to strengthen STEM education. The event highlighted the need for improved education in these areas to compete globally in the space race with the Soviet Union.

Yes, Sputnik 1 orbited the Earth over 1000 times

It marked the start of the space race between the U.S. and U.S.S.R.

No, the Russian's Sputnik was unmanned.

When Russia launched Sputnik it frightened and shocked other countries because Russia had led the way. As a result the American government spend millions of dollars to ensure that it outranked Russia technologically and the result was what we know as the internet today.

None directly as it had no instruments onboard to gather information. The only equipment built into Sputnik was a simple radio transmitter that sent out a regular periodic beep signal.

Some information was gathered indirectly on the ground by tracking Sputnik on RADAR.

Many projects had been planned for the International Geophysical Year 1957, including orbital satellites by both the US and USSR. The USSR succeeded first, largely because they were willing to use their existing proven military rockets and the US insisted on launching with new untested civilian rockets (which kept blowing up on the launch pad) so that they could "pretend" that the satellite was unrelated to military applications..

Sputnik Monroe - wrestler - was born on 1928-12-18.

Sputnik Caledonia was created in 2008.

Sputniks Down ended in 2003.

Sigue Sigue Sputnik was created in 1982.

They think they got away to go into the further but not the past.

This was a dog.

Her name was Laika and she never made it back to Earth. The poor thing must have been utterly terrified of being in space alone and may have suffered terribly when oxygen ran out.
