Here's a clip concerning the 80 days preparation leading up to the launch of Explorer I, the first American satellite. Aside from being an entertaining (and I shudder to say, nostalgic) 20 minutes, there is a great (or should I say "swell"...)countdown near the end. ("This is project command! Please clear the launching area for radio frequency interference tests!" Stuff like that.) Was thinking it might be fun to play that stuff over the PA at a sport range launch of some elaborate model.
