:05:02
- Will you leave us, please? Thank you.
- Indicates a perfect orbit.
:05:05
Right now we're waiting for
the computers to answer the question.
:05:09
Then, we'll have an announcement
from one of the men responsible.
:05:17
Yes, that's it.
We have an announcement.
:05:19
Ladies and gentlemen, Lloyd C. Cramden.
:05:21
Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen,
we've done it.
:05:24
The first manned space platform in
history is moving into a perfect orbit!
:05:29
[Applause, Cheering]
:05:32
And this is only the beginning.
In the weeks to come,
:05:36
other rockets containing
weather instruments,
:05:39
cameras, mapping
and surveying equipment...
:05:41
will join up with our platform...
:05:43
making it the first scientific
laboratory in outer space.
:05:47
- Think of it, ladies and gentlemen.
- We've done it. We've done it!
:05:51
- Nobody can stop us now!
- Ladies, please!
:05:55
This accomplishment
will add immeasurably
to our scientifiic knowledge...
:05:59
and will usher in a new era
of goodwill...
:06:01
as the platform passes across
all national boundaries...
:06:04
- [Phone Ringing]
- Oh, uh, excuse me, please.
:06:09
Ladies and gentlemen, that's
the president calling Mr. Cramden.
:06:12
I want to congratulate you on your part
in this magnificent achievement, Lloyd.
:06:17
Thank you, sir. Thank you.
:06:19
I must say, now that it's over,
I can use a little relaxation.
:06:23
Right. Now you can relax. I was thinking
about a little round of g-o-l-f.
:06:28
Very good. When do you suggest, sir?
:06:31
- Tomorrow.
- Thank you, sir.
:06:33
Uh-huh. Good enough. See you then.
:06:34
Next week, same time, same station.
:06:37
And now let's return to our
on-the-spot coverage... Uh, Colonel.
:06:41
Ladies and gentlemen, this is Colonel...
:06:43
- Uh, Carter, Colonel Carter.
- Colonel Carter. Right.
:06:46
You must be an old ball player, Colonel.
:06:48
For a moment there, I thought you were
making signals like a third-base coach.
:06:52
What? Oh, this. [Chuckles]
Habit, I guess.
:06:56
But this space shot does put us back
in the ball game, doesn't it?
:06:59
- This is quite a day.
- " Does put us back in the ball game,
doesn't it?"
