New Video: South Florida Aviation History

The Lynn and Louis Wolfson II Florida Moving Image Archive presents an online Video Rewind Screening of "The Age for Space" and "T Minus 15 and Counting."

A WCKT - Miami (WSVN) special programming of "The Age for Space" is a kinescope program from 1963. This special report examines the outlook for the State of Florida to retain and attract business in the technologically advanced space age. According to the program, the lack of advanced courses in science and technology at both the university and secondary levels has left Florida with a deficit of future workers trained in space science and technology. "The Age of Space" also looks at the plans of several South Florida communities and institutions of higher learning to improve their programs so that Florida can remain a gateway to space.

"T Minus 15 and Counting", produced by Coronado Studios and sponsored by the Florida Department of Education circa 1963, is an educational film that focuses on the academic curriculum in South Florida schools and how it prepares students for careers in space technology. The schools began to feature marine biology, computer and electronics courses, and physical education in addition to programs in vocational education. The film includes a speech by Floyd T. Christina, Florida State's Superintendent of Public Education.
