It has been 50 years since the Russians sent Sputnik into orbit around the Earth. How well do you know your space trivia?

I got 7 out of 15 :P

[ballaratdragons]

Thanks Chris.
I found it by accident. I was on a News site looking for the story about the thousands of miners trapped underground in South Africa, and I saw it down the page a bit.

[sheeny]

A bit of fun... thanks!

I got 7 out of 15 with no references. I should've known better... or at least guessed better!!!

I think I should've read the correct answers properly the first time :doh:

[Blue Skies]

13/15 for me. Not bad!

[ballaratdragons]

[erick]

I can run it. 9/15. Perhaps I shouldn't have bothered?

[dugnsuz]

10/15

[h0ughy]

LOL 11/15 would have been 12 but my son is shoving a toy horse in my ear and distracted me

[ballaratdragons]

:rofl:

[astroron]

13/15 for me.no prompting or searching.

[citivolus]

12 here with a couple stupid mistakes, I guess I paid attention to all those old National Geographics growing up.

[vindictive666]

9 out of 15 no peeking iether :)

[Mr. Subatomic]

10/15

I found that littering one pretty ammusing!

[Gargoyle_Steve]

Pleased to say I managed to score 13 correct answers, with 1 or 2 reasonably educated guesstimates. I missed getting the correct answers on questions 5 & 6 - I guess the very earlier missions (Russian ones especially) are not so familiar to me - "born in '64, they were before my time" is my excuse. ;)

Great little quiz that, I really enjoyed it! Thanks for posting the link.
:thumbsup:

[Mr. Subatomic]

born in '91. waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay before my time.

[ballaratdragons]

:lol:
But what score did you get?

[skairey]

I got 9 right. Thanks for posting the quiz, it sure lets you know what you pay attention to on the news.

[DougAdams]

13 ... blew the modern stuff.

[DJVege]

7. Sadly, some of those correct answers were guesses. :)

[mill]

7 out of 15 and i must admit they were all guesses.
