I remember this one from when I was a teenager. I really liked it then, and it is nice to listen to it now. Later, when I was a young man I was involved in listening to satellites in Eritrea from a U.S. base at Kagnew Station in Ethiopia (now Eritrea) near Asmara. The base was called “Stonehouse” and we had a 75- and 150-foot dish antenna to track and receive from satellites.
Sounds like an otherworldly place to hear Telstar!
