Sputnik: the Phantom Satellite

Beep beep...ker er er...err err err
It can't be...
The telemetry...
It's Sputnik!
It's still alive!
I told my commander,
But he originally didn't think
Anything of it.
No sir! It really is Sputnik!
Listen to it's signal.
The Commander couldn't believe
What he was hearing, and witnessing altogether!
He turned ghost white,
It brought him to tears.
Commander?
Sputnik... I thought it had drifted away...
forever...
