@ 2:16..... Think that is Pete Conrad sitting at the table. According to his wiki page, he was at VF96 prior to the second group of astronauts being selected in 62

That's my old ship, the USS Ranger. I made her 82 Westpac. Now she's down in Brownsville, TX being broken up. Sad ending for a great lady.

@HDaviator No date on the film, but I would suspect mid 1960s...

[@spacedigger]

At least he was just in time to go to vietnam.. Scary thought.

[@gerryhamm9041]

The film was made in 1962.. If you can read Roman Numerals you will see that at the very end of the credits.

They made a toast to President Kennedy so was made prior to his death.

Considering what it represents, any upstanding human being would take offense to it. Who glorifies traitors to a nation?
