People are getting angry about all the Canadian nukes. Please take them back America. We don't care for your war, however cold it may be.
Cool, we have a young, movie star-looking president now instead of some old guy.

Because the Vostok spacecraft wasn't shown to the outside world until the 1967 Paris Air Show and we didn't know what it looked like. ;)
American attempts to guess at the design of Soviet rockets/spacecraft in the early years were often comically inaccurate, for instance conceptual art of the R-7 turned out to be way off. The closest we came was after the launch of Sputnik 2 when the spacecraft was tracked in orbit. Due to its large size, we guessed correctly that it remained attached to the R-7 core stage, and that the booster was probably a stage and a half vehicle like the Atlas, possibly using RP-1/LOX for propellant.
At the 67 Paris Air Show, the Soviet Union put out a display of their space hardware, including the first time Westerners saw the R-7, which had just been retired from ICBM use and it was no longer a national security matter to keep its design hidden. Vostok capsules and lunar probes were also on display.

>Take Five, the title track of the DBQ album of the same name, was released in October 1959 as a promotional single. The instrumental failed to attract any attention at all. In February 1961, it was reissued and shot up the charts like a rocket. The single version of TF omitted an extended drum solo from the album track.
Ok, we can into putting a guy in space. It's not orbital like the Russians did but hey, it's something, right? :)
