Establishing shot - Two engineers working on the rocket for "Project Vanguard". MCUS - Engineer wiring the insides of the rocket. MCUS - Engineer holding on to the moon that will (actually a satellite) orbit the earth. The animated story of "Project Vanguard" comes into play and it really explains very well how the rocket is assembled, what stages it goes through, where the radar stations are built on earth to receive its messages. During this animated presentation of the Vanguard it shows just what's inside the round moon like instrument. It also shows and explains how it will be launched and what stages it goes through. | |
