Okay, I'll give it a try. I'm sure I'm off by a zillion years. Friendship 7?

Okay, it couldn't be Friendship 7 because I remember it. What about that little chimpanzee that got blasted off?
Yes, a 7 year old is writing my posts.
Edit: Okay, I think I know what it is now but I cheated and looked it up. I will have to let some other cheater who denies their cheating say what it is.

I googled '" 3/17/58" + space'
I got the site
http://roland.lerc.nasa.gov/~dglover/dictionary/tables/table14.html
So I then googled "Vanguard 1"

I will be at NRL in Washington for the celebration. When my dad was tinkering with the Vanguard 1 satellite on our dining room table, my mom said, "I wonder if the Russians would like to see this."
