Telstar
It's the 45th birthday of the Telstar satellite - which was set up to beam the first TV signals from the US to Europe. A baseball game between the Philadelphia Phillies and Chicago Cubs might have been the first broadcast, but thankfully things picked up - aside from a dry patch in the 80's.
It looks remarkably similar to the Death Star's torture droid.
