OCTOBER 13, 2007 Listen to this Story
Web Resources
Last week on Good News, Bad News, No News, the panel unanimously declared the anniversary of Sputnik as "no news." Man, did that raise some hackles. We received many e-mails taking them to task: "Are they kidding? That was THE news event of the last century!?""Don't they realize that everything from the computers they use, the chairs they are sitting on and the satellite used to broadcast the show comes from space research?" We'll talk to one listener who's goat was got.
