re: re:Cosmos 1
I'm sure it doesn't matter now, or even before, but it is unlikely that if Cosmos 1 did make it into orbit that it would be at the original place it was supposed to be.
Thanks anyway. I hadn't heard from anyone else if they looked or not.
And thanks to alcaray for the news that there will be a Cosmos 2 and it will NOT be on a Volna! That "international brotherhood" and "melting Cold War" symbolism was old by now anyway.
