I can’t believe they were able to afford an actual rocket launch just for that shot, incredible.

I can only imagine the guy's smile as he stares at the rocket, knowing he absolutely nailed the timing

that man was imprisoned after this episode, the US government believed he had the ability to launch any missile just by pointing his finger

Love how he casualty points at a rocket launch like he was showing us an everyday occurrence.

It's a little known fact that this launch had no countdown. Mission control simply waited for the hand gesture from James Burke.

i think what's particularly impressive is how calm and collected he sounded even after he nailed the timing. my heart would've been beating out of my chest with sheer pride.

This is, in fact, the greatest shot in television. Dude had one shot at pulling this off, and he nailed it.

The most high stakes pull focus that camera operator will ever do.

He had one shot. One opportunity. To seize everything he ever wanted. In one moment. And he captured it. He didn't let it slip.

Connections was, by far, one of the best written and produced shows on television. The BBC and you, Mr. Burke, are absolute legends.

Anyone curious, the Rocket launching in the background is the Titan 3E, its payload? Voyager 2.

The fact that he managed to stay so calm despite the time pressure is impressive. This definitely deserves the title you gave it.

The eyesight of the technician who pushed the launch button when he saw the pointed finger was amazing.

This video gets recommended every once in a while. And I watch it every time.

All we needed was him shouting one take at the end of it

This blows me away every time I see it. The fact that the cameraman wasn’t tempted to follow the rocket up, but allowed it to exit the frame… just perfect.

A supremely professional presenter, at the pinnacle of his career, doing an absolute blinder of a one-off event. Mr. Burke, sir, we applaud you.

You can see the nervousness as he starts, he's probably staring at a giant clock counting down, he's rehearsed it a few times and knows the cadence and time he needs to go, but he's still nervous. And he nails it.

In high school we had a pilot program for a AP computer science class, which was pretty awesome. Anyway, the first couple weeks of class our instructor showed us this entire series. This was in the early 90s. It really left a mark on me. Such a great series, not many put that much effort into research and writing anymore for science programing.

No modern editing software, just impeccable timing. One chance, nailed it.
