On This Day in 1957
Happy Sputnik Day. On October 4th, 1957 the USSR launched the very first satellite into Earth orbit disjointing countless noses here in the US.
Pictured above is the backup Sputnik that was to be launched should the first attempt have failed. It can be found at the Cosmosphere in Hutchinson Kansas along with many more air and space wonders.

I was in Sputnik with Sally Ride as we plummeted back into the atmosphere, we held hands and talked about how beautiful it was until we were gone.

I have a feeling that tumblr would like Reverse 1999. They gave the Sputnik satellite sentience and it decided that it was a girl. Absolutely love it.
Slay Sputnik, Slay.

Ok so two lovely lovely cod fic authors, @thedovesaredying (for the fics themselves) and @ghouljams (for the cowboy au), combined my two interests (hyenas and cod)
I went insane, blacked out, and woke up with this many hours later
Anywho
That was my first time drawing Nikto, so ignore the little study I did of his game model face and just look at Sputnik
She's the light of my life
