This may have been linked to earlier... But this just gives me goose bumps!
The real thing looks like it could be even more surprising!

That's an outstanding video, but it really should begin with Russia's Luna 1 flyby of the Moon in 1959. That marked the true beginning of mankind's exploration of the solar system beyond Earth. (Both the US and the USSR had three failed attempts during 1958, with the first one on August 17. That was the very first attempt to launch a rocket to the Moon, and it deserves to be remembered.)
