How quickly we become so blase about these things. One night back in October 1957, I went out with about 100 other kids from our boarding school to watch the first Sputnik moving (and so fast!) across the dark sky. Today, we don't bother. But a few years ago, I went out to look for a meteor-shower. That night I saw about half a dozen satellites in the space of an hour or two.
