Holiday, a cause for rejoicing be nice to you, say please, Very much change... treat yourself because the screen offers more.

The space experiment is thirty minutes after midnight. A Thor rocket stands at the test site from Cape Canaveral launch-ready in the launch pad.
The launch succeeds. The rocket into a altitude of 400 kilometres to release a balloon in one short minute.
Automatic cameras to keep inflating the balloon in the stratosphere in the image. But they can return only unexpected pictures of the Earth, the balloon must be destroyed under dramatic circumstances.
More fortunate is to wish NASA specialists are preparing the launch of a manned rocket to three orbits. The technical equipment of the capsule to be shot by the already taken a rocket in outer space be checked again.
At the draw of the candidates the Los on the 40th American Lieutenant-Colonel Glenn fell. All bodily functions are Once again thoroughly tested before the start.
The life of the space pilots depends on the functioning of a control system, which is tested before the start, dozens of times. In thoughts, at least the half of humanity will accompany the American Colonel in his adventure. In the top of the rocket he will be but the loneliest man in the world.

Bulgaria ex-monarch in 1962: life in the streets of Sofia determines the rhythm of clanking arms, Communist daily by the rhythm of the military parades and party demonstrations.
But this grim routine of a Socialist People's Republic existed only since 1946. At the time of the last Bulgarian King had to, just 9 years old, escape from the red tide in the exile. In these days we ran into him again in the Swiss Vevey. Simeon II of Bulgaria and the Spaniard Margarita Gomez equipped itself to celebrate their wedding under the onslaught of nobility, the press and the public. She occurred after Russian Orthodox rite.
As usual, the young couple in Madrid will live. Simeon still hopes to return to Bulgaria as a King.

The wheels of the most famous six days rider on the track of the Berlin Sports Palace turned the sports report for the 50th time. 12 teams fought, often flirtatious looks confused, points and rewards.
A truly Golden Jubilee were the six days and nights. The driver enjoyed himself only short breaks in which the evidence of a consumer-friendly audience from the corridors and the sweat from the car were wiped. The cracks can be strengthened in their latest criticisms.
Last night, all participants to a huge spurt in which were pedals its only 8 kilogram racing machines. Wheel to wheel they fought the decisive round profit.
Finally, "Crutch" did its last whistle, the Dutch were crowned van Looy post as the winner. The starting point of the FIBT World Championships in Garmisch-Partenkirchen saw 19 Bob's out of a total of 10 countries. On the perfectly decorated car, they took the lonely battle with the stopwatch.
England's Bob No. 1 controls the 5 metre high banked curve too high and is carried by a whisker from the railway. The fall leaves lightly for the driver. Hopes of a victory are however then.
After the failure of Germany I Bob Germany II takes the fight with Maurer / Waite with the Italians. Enough time for the 3rd place.
Bob Italy II Ruatti / de Lorenzo went with the best overall time in the 4th session. Italian Monti-style chases the sled in daring ride on the icy slopes and brings the World Championship for Italy.
8,000 spectators in the Frankfurt outdoor sports venue witnessed the efforts by Marika Kilius & Hans-Jürgen Bäumler, At last once to win the German championship in pair skating. The three-time European champion and Olympic second a new freestyle had brought, bribed by high degree of difficulty.
However, the inspiring spark was missing the lecture by Kilius/Bäumler at all brilliance. So viewers and judges warmed more for the classic style of the harmonious, almost congruent shadow run of defending champion Margret Göbl and Franz Ningel is once.
Gabriel/Ningel laid their new Champion Freestyle clean and in contrast to its competitors correctly on the ice. Therefore the applause for the old and new German master couple was fully justified.

The anti-dance in search of new ideals those seem to have shot the bird, which twist made the anti-dance. We subjected the European twitch phenomena for the twist there is already a Mister, a critical investigation and were guests at a German twist Club.
(Original sound)... quite different people for a new fashion contributed their health to the grave. And just from these tombs, archaeologists coming age will promote enigmatic fossils to light.
According to scientific research, following signature will then be found for the Museum of Ethnology: mid-20th century, western end appearance, generation with rear level defects, cause of death: twist.
