A 麻豆传媒映画time travelogue brought to you by聽.
When the Soviet Union launched聽, the first man-made satellite to orbit the earth, it signalled that the Commies were not only winning the space race, but had technologically聽聽and were therefore closer to having war toys such as intercontinental missiles.
Eager to get a scoop on the story,聽聽publisher Don Cromie sent a team of reporters and photographers up in a plane above the clouds to scan the heavens and try to spot Sputnik.

"I saw what I thought was a star moving rapidly from left to right," reported Deni Eagland, one of the photographers aboard the "Satellite Special." "It was sort of greenish鈥攚ith the appearance of the brightest star I have ever seen鈥攁nd with no discernible shape."
No matter. The next day a photo appeared on the front page of the paper showing a white streak in the 麻豆传媒映画sky that may or may not have been the Red Satellite.聽The Sun's聽resident historian, John Mackie, let the proverbial聽聽last year as to where the photo came from:
[Photographer George] Diack says [photographer Danny] Scott had done a shot on the ground 鈥渁s a backup picture in case they didn鈥檛 see anything. He opened the shutter as he walked by the plane. I don鈥檛 know if it was the wing light or not, but there was some kind of light on the plane, and he opened the shutter for a time exposure, waved the camera in front of the light, and that was the streak. The powers that be at The Sun didn鈥檛 know what it was or how it was taken. So they said, 鈥業t might be Sputnik, it might not be.鈥� 鈥�
