Telstar's 45th anniversary

By at 9:24 am Tuesday, Jul 10

Telstarpostca BB pal Todd Lappin, proprietor of faux-firm Telstar Logistics, reminds us that today is the 40th anniversary of Telstar I, America's first active telecommunications satellite. Telstar I is still orbiting the Earth even though it permanently broke down seven months after launch. Lappin has deemed today a corporate holiday at Telstar Logistics, but he still took time to post a brief history of his company's namesake on the Telstar blog.
