"telstar" by The Tornadoes decided to play itself on my jukebox not ten minutes ago, which prompted me to look it up for you all.
Play the YouTube version while you read the report at this link.
Over sixty years ago, and today we watch, live from space, TV showing the inside of the second-stage engine cavity during launch and before the engines have fired up ...
Cheers, Chris

It certainly was a game changer.

Then the British followed with what AT&T later called "dry understatements"

Yeah, sorry about that! We're a little less dry these days!

Thank you Chris- a journey down memory lane and a reminder that we take so much for granted nowadays!
