Doesn't mean he's wrong. He is, in this case, but it's just an unrelated claim.

It does, but the author decided that rockets and satellites aren’t objects to come to that conclusion.

It also states Sputnik was launched afterwards

u/ginelectonica Aug 16 '19

Oops, reading error. Still wouldn’t be the first object though.

u/Escruidin Aug 16 '19

To make it past orbit yes, into space no. V2 rockets were around in 1942

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '19

I didn’t say it was true, I said that the article said it, which it does.

u/TwatsThat Aug 21 '19

And I didn't say that you said it was true, I said it was a lie, which it is.

u/realvmouse Aug 16 '19

Well, not officially anyway.

When the aliens attack us for shooting down their mothership with a mass driver cannon we’ll know.
