The map of Europe at 0:56 looks odd - what's happening with France??? And Britain looks like she's said goodbye to Europe and is steaming towards Greenland.
0:17 this is the first formal exchange of an official transmission. a beginning of the president's press conference to the ??? where most of europe can witness the democracy of the world. the narrator said democracy. it was 1962. awesome.
Very Interesting video, My father was involved as a G.P.O. Engineer:-
In 1962 I was back at the Switching Centre again ready to witness Telstar and the first television transmissions from the United States. More excitement and congratulations all round. In preparation for the event three of our radio engineers were sent to Goonhilly. He then goes on to say how there was unfortunately a road accident near Goonhilly and one of his engineers lost his life.
Telstar 1, the world's first communications satellite, was launched on top of a Thor-Delta rocket on July 10, 1962.
