smithlabs, what do you mean "we built what we needed in the 50's" what did we build?

The project Echo satellite was first launched in 1960.

ok smithlabs the answer man! thanks
No problem, it was just a big mylar balloon in a small package; that is inflated in orbit. Cheap shade.
a mylar baloon that's a hundred something..how big did you say that thing was?
Big enough to see by eyesight only when it went over! I remember watching it from my front yard as it orbited. We could make it any size, and inflate it like a kids toy bounce house. It could just unfold as it inflated.
Now, for something you never saw before! This is a commerative stamp I bought about the Echo Satellite.
smithlabs! no sir I ain't never seen nothin like that before, that's awesome!
that is super cool. I never heard of this balloon satelite, when was it doing that cruising over when you could see it?
I got this stamp, because it was the first object I saw in Orbit! It was bright, and Big, and The USA had put it up there in 1960! I remember sitting in My Dad's lap, while he pointed it out to me!
That was a great time, and very exciting!
:)I was 6 years old in 1960.
Project Echo
Project Echo was the first passive communications satellite experiment. Each of the two American spacecraft, launched in 1960 and 1964, was a metalized balloon satellite acting as a passive reflector of microwave signals. Communication signals were bounced off them from one point on Earth to another.
Amazing, I don't even need to click the link!
