This month in history
On the 3rd the first UNIX Programmer’s Manual was published, originally to quickly bring in more users for the testing of the world’s first portable programming system for the so-called Uniplexed Information and Computing Service (“unics”). The highly influential Unix platform, in different forms, powers most of what brings 4xLife to life…
On the 13th the U.S. probe Mariner 9 became the first spacecraft to successfully enter the orbit of Mars. Previous American and Soviet probes had made close “fly-by” approaches. At 4:42 p.m. California time, the technicians at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, made Mariner 9 the first object from Earth to be put into orbit around another planet. The elliptical orbit ranged between 1,300 km above the Martian surface and 17,200 km twice a day.
And, in a big month for technology, on the 15th Intel announced the world’s first microprocessor, the Intel 4004.
What’d Sadie think?
Two weeks at the top for Cher with “Gypsies Tramps And Thieves” before Isaac Hayes takes it with Shaft.
