Year—a hint, perhaps, that number 23 might conceivably be
intended to represent the vehicle which launched Sputnik 1. The
rockets are shown at various heights, but this appears to be based
on considerations of good display design rather than achieved
rocket performance.
Appropriately, you have to look up t...

By comparison, the Lunik 1 rocket and the recent Vostoks ...
