The BBC has billed this as "the best-timed" intro ever because just as he points to the rocket in the distance it takes off. But even more remarkable is the intro itself. Burke points to the ascending rocket and says, "it is heading to the moon or Moscow, to the planets or Peking."
I bet he worked all night trying to come up with that alliteration. So the BBC hasn't changed much in the past 45 years has it?
