- MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Space Travel News. DESCRIPTION: Wickie the Mouse in a space-ship house. All mod-con in the nose cone of a Thor-Able rocket. While a photo-electric cell tilts the camera automatically, we follow the rocket’s departure on its six thousand mile trip. . The object of the exercise is to study re-entry from outer space. Travellers like Wickie will provide vital data before Man makes his first attempt. And here is a saucer-space-ship designed by the Armstrong-Whitworth Aircraft Company.
