Description
"Satellite Monkey-bars" is a picture of a photograph featured in Life Magazine's article titled "Playgrounds Take a Space-Aged Spin" from its March 15, 1963 edition.
The picture shows children playing on a set of monkey-bars formed in the shape of a planet with a satellite's orbital path around it. These monkey-bars gave children a chance to "play on equipment in space" or even act out orbiting around a planet during 1960's like a few of their astronaut heroes.
Being able to play and imagine themselves orbiting around a planet probably encouraged the idea of children wanting to explore space.
