Hey, how did Werner von Braun get left out of the mix? Or Robert H. Goddard? Or even Robert Heinlein? Or Leo Zilard? Or Alexander Zasyadkoi, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, Sergei P. Korolev, or Valentin Glushko. Sounds like there was a bit more than a one-party celebration!

They weren't born on the day in question, so they aren't synonymous with America's Space Age.

Ah, but Werner von Braun, along with the others named, were progenitors WHO GAVE BIRTH TO AMERICA'S SPACE AGE! And writerfella very much is assured that Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Jerry Lee Lewis weren't born on such a day, either. Even writerfella was just past 17 and 1/2 on that particular day...

I didn't say anyone was born on Feb. 1, 1958. I listed things that happened that day.
Werner von Braun, Robert H. Goddard, et al. developed the Space Age. John Glenn, Neil Armstrong, et al. implemented it. But their lives didn't coincide with the Space Age. They didn't embody it.
