CBS coverage of the 25/10/65 launch of Atlas/Agena 6 in support of the Gemini 6 mission. This Agena failed upon reaching orbit when telemetry was lost and the Gemini 6 flight was scrubbed.

Walter Cronkite hosts the coverage which is notable for two nearly unnoticible mistakes. Walter refers to the Gemini/Agena Control team as "Mercury Control" and calls Jack King "Jim". If you listen carefully you can just hear someone off camera whispering "Jack" ! Quite a funny moment!
