Moon Rocket Explodes (Universal Newsreel, Mar 1965)

Description

The original release sheet reads: MOON ROCKET EXPLODES After a series of brilliant launchings, the space team at Cape Kennedy runs into trouble. An Atlas-Centaur rocket with a moon craft aboard fails just two seconds after blast-off. Two of its engines fail. It falls back and explodes. No one injured but damages, including a twisted pad, are estimated at more than $5,000,000. THE ANNUAL NEW ORLEANS STORY The charming, old City of New Orleans, forever young in spirit, whoops it up for Mardi Gras...the annual celebration that precedes the austere days of Lent. Tourists and townspeople let inhibitions fall where they may as they eat, drink and dance in the streets and at famous jazz joints like Pete's Place. "Let us be gay" and for Pete's sake who can blame them. A ROYAL VISIT TO CURACAO People of The Netherlands West Indies welcome Princess Beatrix, heiress-apparent to the Dutch throne. She is in Curacao on a three-week visit to this Dutch colony which her country has ruled since 1634. THE COLLECTION IS LOCKED UP One of the unique collections in the world is this treasure of ancient locks that is kept in a steel vault. Small wonder for most of these locks could not be replaced. They take no changes in The Netherlands. SPORTS GET AWAY DAY AT HIALEAH The Flamingos are honored at the Miami race track as the Flamingo Stakes mark closing day. It's for three-year-olds and is a curtain-raiser for the Kentucky Derby. "NATIVE CHARGER," son of famed "NATIVE DANCER," comes home on top
