Show detail Hide detail

Fletcher Markle opens the discussion on the last frontier, space. Following montages of space gadgetry and activity related to space exploration, Wernher Von Braun, J. Lynn Helms, Fed Hoyle, Ralph Lapp, Marshall McLuhan, Ray Bradbury and John Kettles explore the question whether or not man has any business in space. Shots of speakers are intercut with scenes of rockets blasting off, astronauts training and experiencing weightlessness, and graphic representations of orbiting capsules. Von Braun talks about plans to launch a deep space probe in 1977. Other speakers question the estimates of the monetary and economic gains to be derived from space flight while others state that the money expended could be better used in solving earth-bound problems. Sequences on the manufacture of space hardwear and rocket components. Stock shots show marching US troops, Redstone missiles and mobile launchers parading by General Eisenhower. Cuts to Berlin Wall and Moscow scenes. Russian kids are shown playing hockey. The camera returns to the US, focuses on ghettos, rocket blast off, an orbiting space craft and a space walk. <24mn 42s>
