In Yugoslavia, rockets shoot mail over the mountain into rural villages. The demonstration interests Post Office officials and space scientists. One big problem: the cost. Technicians work to position a rocket on a launch pad. Hobbyists tinker with a rocket, and then carry one on their shoulders to a crude launching device. BLAST OFF. Onlookers smile and smoke cigarettes. Slow motion footage replays the launching, and panning footage follows it on its' path.
