Unlike a lot of amateurs, I’ve never been all that excited about space shots. It is notable, however, that today marks the 50th anniversary of NASA’s birth. Wired.com has created a series of articles to commemorate this event, including this gallery of classic space program photos. Even if you don’t include all the fun the AMSAT guys are having with ham satellites, there’s no doubt that NASA has had an impact on telecommunications and electronics, and in a broader sense on how we think about our universe and our place in it.
