Koyaanisqatsi, ending scene

[Special Prosciuto]

1982, music by Philip Glass. The rocket was unmanned.

1. It was two differrent rockets.

The launch was of a Saturn 5, while the one that blew up was an Atlas.

No doubt deliberately destroyed by the range safety officer, to prevent destroying anything on the ground.

2. One of the all-time-great movie scores

The followups weren't nearly as good (movie or score).

3. Thanks

I have just about everything Philip Glass has written. No one else in my family is a fan.

Philip Glass.

I like his stuff, too. His opera Satyagraha is really interesting.

5. A lot of people know his music

But it is from movie scores and they are not aware of who it is. I've seen two of his "operas," Hydrogen Jukebox and Einstein on the Beach, at the Spoleto Festival in Charleston SC.

7. I saw Einstein on the Beach on TV - and also

Koyannisqatsi. I loved both of them.
