Telstar launched on August 23 1962 – Just for fun

Posted on by Dean Owen

Thanks to Puget Sound Radio for the following item from “Today in Broadcast History – August 23” …

“In 1962, the first live TV program was relayed between the U.S. and Europe through the U.S. Telstar satellite.”

The original from the Tornados

And the best known version from the Ventures

It seems like just yesterday!
