Default *That* stock footage: who used it first?

Assignment: Earth was this weekend's _Star Trek_ Remastered New
Special Effects edition, and while there was apparently too much stock
footage of the Apollo 4 launch to make practical replacing it with, say,
a totally awesome Saturn V-derivative something caught my eye:

Obviously the episode had originally to use footage of the
Saturn 500-F facilties testing article as well as Apollo 4's launch to
do the Saturn liftoff. But the episode aired in late March 1968, and
its first draft was finished in December 1967. They had to have been
near the first to make pop cultural use of the famous first stage
falling away, and then the interstage falling off.

(To add to the continuity errors between stock footages,
the episode identifies the interstage falling away as second stage
separation, and the second stage igniting as third stage ignition.)

Anyway: so, is it possible that Star Trek was the first show
or movie or such to use *that* shot to represent the simple concept
of sending something into space? If Trek wasn't, then who was? Any
ideas? Did it appear on any shows before the 29th of March, 1968?
