Here in Kansas we have a little place called the Cosmosphere. Home of the Apollo 13, Liberty 7, and so many other items from the space programs of the USA and Russia that I could not even begin to list them all. Here are some pics I took on May 24th 2003.
 

Launched October 4, 1957, Sputnik 1. The worlds first artificial satellite.
