Blast from the past – Space flight as seen in 1955

by | October 24, 2008

 

This is a Disney show produced in 1955. Part 6 is especially interesting because Werner von Braun describes a proposed rocket for getting a 10-man shuttle into orbit. Keep in ming that Sputnik did not go into orbit until October 4, 1957. At the time this show aired, nothing had ever been in orbit.
