Happy Birthday, Telstar
July 10th, 2007
On this day in 1962, Telstar I, America’s first telecommunications satellite was launched. Since then, it seems like a gazillion satellites have been launched, but none of them inspired a melody like the one the Tornados recorded in Joe Meek’s studio way back when. Lou Reed gave it a good try, though.-MJS
