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.

C for Charlie!
She originated as part of a series of throwaway designs I whipped up from Artbreeder images generated by an old friend (@uwunium on Twitter), nevertheless, she has a special place in my heart.
Charlie's your typical run-of-the-mill rebellious teen; she loves soft drinks, skating, indie music, and being an overall smug menace at school. She also happens to be one of three kids adopted by an exiled demon overlord who, after getting dethroned, was cast away to spend eternity in Detroit, Michigan. The shelves (and red hair) are hereditary and she sees from the gemstones embedded in the drawer handles, she often uses this "ability" to sneak snacks into the cinemas amongst other mundane things. She also owns a bearded dragon named Skullcrusherninethousand who she begged her demon dad to get.

History changed on October 4, 1957, when the Soviet Union successfully launched Sputnik 1, the world's first artificial satellite. It was around the size of a beach ball, weighed 83.6 kg (183.9 pounds), and took about 98 minutes to orbit Earth on its elliptical path. This ushered in a new age of political, military, technological, and scientific developments, and although the Sputnik launch was a single event, it marked the start of the space age and the U.S.-U.S.S.R space race.
