Sputnik Book

A work of government propaganda from a true believer. Like people say Covid has done this and that, although it is the Government who imposes the restrictions, Dickson is way too simple minded to grasp that Sputnik did nothing, Sputnik is just an object in the sky. More, the Soviet scientists and engineers also did nothing. It is the Government employees in the US that started to wave the flags to get a bigger cut of the taxes collected. I am not arguing that one gesture is good or bad. I am not arguing that something was necessary or just an ego trip for some bureaucrat. I am pointing out that Dickson lacks the mental skills to do anything beyond sorting an incomplete chronology.
