Sputnik 1957 T-Shirt

Based on a commemorative Soviet pin from the era, this design marks the moment the Space Race actually started. The stylized satellite and red star sit beside the date that changed everything: "4 ОКТ. 1957г. Первый спутник" ("October 4, 1957. First Satellite"), the day the USSR launched humanity's first object into orbit and caught the entire world off guard.
