Some of you may remember that I scratchbuilt a Sputnik I replica for a film-production company a few months ago. Here’s a shot of it just before completion (in my backyard):
It’s finally made its small-screen debut. The model appears in the two-hour PBS documentary “The Boomer Century, 1946-2046” which debuted a couple of weeks ago.
It shows up in the first 20 minutes or so, in a 1950s-themed display behind the host.
Blink and you’ll miss it, but for what it’s worth, that’s my model!
