SingApraise to today, 4 th October in History

We singApraise to what happened to day in history, the  historic event that changes the future of a country and also the world at that time, has been realized and benefited the generation of today
& of course not  forgetting the entertainers- singers, actors & actresses that have make so much musics and stories come alive to youngsters like me back then.

 1824 Mexico adopts a new constitution and becomes a federal republic. Remember seeing an olde 'VIVA ZAPATA" acted by Marlon Brando , a black & white show, so did Zapata started the Revolution rolling back then ?

 1905: Orville Wright pilots the first flight longer than 30 minutes. The flight lasted 33 minutes, 17 seconds and covered 21 miles and this later make possible the Space age which came in 1957..

 1957: The Space Age began as the Soviet Union launched Sputnik, the first man-made satellite, into orbit. The satellite, built by Valentin Glushko, weighed 184 pounds and was launched by a converted Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM). This satellite Sputnik orbited the earth every 96 minutes at a maximum height of 584 miles. It reentered the earth's atmosphere in 1958 and burned up. AND that s how we get our mobile phone to work today

 1957: The television series "Leave It to Beaver" premiered on CBS. It ran until 1963, when Beaver was a middle teen

  2006: Hubble discovers 16 new planets

Its certainly a rare coincidence that 3 great events happened on this date that gave birth to a new era - the inventor of computers was born,  the first air flight and combined these 2 = the space age in 1957
