        From Wikipedia: Telstar 1 launched on top of a Thor-Delta rocket on July 10, 1962. It successfully relayed through space the first television pictures, telephone calls, and telegraph images, and provided the first live transatlantic television feed.

        This was a BIG deal for television. I remember it got the full BIG EVENT treatment- and it was.
