This compilation was put together at Vandenberg AFB in the late 1990's. It features Delta II, Titan II, Atlas II, and Titan IV launches.
The music is Dvořák's New World Symphony (4th movement) and Richard Strauss's Also sprach Zarathustra.
I couldn't resist leaving in Lt. Col. Paszek's commentary at the end.
Ironic....Czech music and US cold war rockets. Mmmmm...a suggestion of where we were headed at the time maybe?

The first launch "Delta II" is from Cape Canaveral, not Vandenberg

Does the Jaws theme sound very much like the musix in the beginning of this film? Btw, what did he say at the ending?!

If you enjoy this vid, by the way, you'll enjoy this...
High Quality Delta II onboard and disposed booster launch cams. Great stuff.
