Preview Of Manned Space Flight Artist's conception films preview the first flight of a manned craft into space beyond the Earth's atmosphere. In thrilling detail is seen the rocket plane X-15, from the moment it leaves its mother plane until it arcs through space and hurtles to a landing. Neat view from below as U.S. Air Force mother plane flies with the little airplane tucked under its wing. Dishes aimed to sky. Men operate equipment in control room. Animation of the X-15 in action, landing -- looks something like a hokey science fiction cartoon.
