In reference to Gustav Holst, the Planets Suite was a direct inspiration to Bill Conti's score.
A portion of the score in this scene does make use of the same general feel of the first few seconds of Jupiter.
With John Glenn's Mercury mission of orbiting the earth in the movie, Conti did not compose the music at all during the launch sequence. Portions of Mars, Jupiter and Neptune were used for those scenes.
When he begins his orbit, Conti's original score is used.

Just from this short clip, you can see exactly why this movie won Academy Awards for Best Original Score, Best Sound Effects Editing, Best Sound, and Best Editing.
Even the sound effects can move you emotionally. Every piece of sound and every piece of music is tightly done.
The editing of the film is also brilliant. One scene that shows just how brilliant the editing was: when John Glenn is re-entering Earth's atmosphere. It *seamlessly* switches from a fiery reentry to a ticker tape parade.

What a Gustav Holst rip! Just like how Apocalypse Now's music is a Tomita Planets rip!

Actually, Slick had no direct control of a ROCKET plane, they aerodynamics weren't right yet.Notice how the x-1 had straight wings, making brute horsepower neccesary.

4:29 the sound that made history

The Germans invented the V2 rockets during the war. Were these not supersonic? I'm thinking if they were this wasn't the first time a sonic boom was heard. Technically a whip breaks the sound barrier and the crack is a sonic boom too.
