I had a high school teacher explain to us after the Russians orbited the first man, that the claim was a hoax, because you couldn't see anything outside your window while going 18,000 mph. It would whiz by too fast.
This was a very expensive private school.
I come into this discussion as one fully persuaded of the conventional view. I leave it intrigued as to other possibilities...
