I am comfortable with my score. It's not perfect, but I rarely score perfectly on anything these days.
How can you not know what Sputnik is!?!

Perfection is overrated. There's a rumor going around that the last guy that was prefect they nailed to a cross. Don't want any part of that job.
I think something like Sputnik was important to the US and the USSR. The rest of the world did a solid "Meh" at the time. I remember talking to a good friend down here, very well educated. I believe he finished his MBA at Miami. Not sure, know it was in Florida. We were talking about the space shuttle launches and how he and his friends used to drive up to watch them. I mentioned remembering sitting at the TV as a kid and watching the Apollo missions. He had no idea what the Apollo missions were.
