The U.S. public's absorption with the Cold War and its fascination with space technology permeated the toy market during the 1960s. This recording of "actual sounds of air force missile launchings and count downs" produced by Louis Marx was perhaps intended to accompany play with other space-related products like Marx's own Cape Canaveral Playset.
