The clip satellite launch report from October Sky (1999)

While most of President Eisenhower's advisors...
Today are ominous. Washington...
If you have just tuned in to this special bulletin,
Washington has confirmed that, yesterday,
on the fourth of October, 1957,
the Soviet Uni�n successfully launched...
history's first man-made satellite...
into space orbit around the Earth.
The satellite which the Russians have dubbed Sputnik...
is being hailed as a milestone in history.
No one in our nation's capital could deny that the satellite...
has ushered in a grim new chapter in the Cold War.
And indeed, a wave of national anxiety...
already seems to be sweeping the country.
Still maintaining its speed of 18,000 miles an hour,
completing an orbit of the Earth every 96 minutes.
Doctor Wernher von Braun,
Chief Engineer of the Army Ballistic Missile Agency,
expressed the hope that the United States...
would soon be following the Russians into space...
with our own artificial satellite.
Doctor von Braun confirmed...
that there has still been no actual sighting of the Soviet satellite,

The unthinkable had suddenly become reality. People were suing the golden arches for selling them food that most of us know isn't good for you to begin with yet each day, one in four Americans visits a fast-food restaurant. And this hunger for fast food isn't just in America. It's happening on a global basis. McDonald's alone operates more than 30,000 joints in over 100 countries on 6 continents and feeds more than 46 million people worldwide every day. That's more than the entire population of Spain. In the United States alone, McDonald's accounts for 43% of the total fast-food market. They're everywhere... Wal-Mart's, airports, rest stops, gas stations, train stations, shopping malls, department stores, amusement parts, even hospitals. That's right... hospitals. At least you're close when the coronary kicks in. Lawyers for McDonald's called the suits "frivolous", stating that the dangers of its food are universally known and that these kids can't show that their weight problems and health woes were caused solely by their McDiets.

Let's find out. I�m ready. Super-size me.
