So I'm watching:
"A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Moon"
on youtube.

You may as well - it's got a great montage of exploding
rockets in the early parts.

What's weird is that the voice-over is done in rather posh
RP English (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Received_Pronunciation)
yet words like "aluminum" and phrases like "three hundred fifty"
are done American-style.
