Mindful Orbiting

about

This release is a companion to “The First Patashnik” in two ways. Firstly, as it’s dedicated specifically to those Soviet Space Dogs; and, secondly, because it was an exclusive for Chuck Van Zyl’s Star’s End radio show.

“The First Patashnik” referred to Laika, who became the first living creature to go into orbit around the Earth, in 1957, but sadly never came back home. Then, in 1960, Belka ("Squirrel") and Strelka ("Little Arrow") spent 27 hours in space, orbiting the Earth 17 times, and then returned home – becoming the first "Earthlings" to do so.

This release, "Mindful Orbiting", is for Belka and Strelka, who played such an important part in the Race into Space, something that itself underpinned the Cold War world of the 1960’s, when I was growing up.

This release was played in its entirety by Chuck Van Zyl on the Star’s End show on 10th September, 2023 (in the 3am slot).
