Telstar The experimental satellite Telstar 1 was launched on 10th July, inspiring the 1962 instrumental by the Tornados.
Pop Art The Pop Art movement was developed during these years. Pop Art was influenced by popular culture and consumerism with its recognisable materials and imagery. It introduced bright colour schemes, while borrowing from comic book art and newspaper iconography (headline fonts and front page photographs). "I used to drink it," Andy Warhol said of Campbell's soup. "I used to have the same lunch every day, for 20 years, I guess, the same thing over and over again."
Film Animation The 1962 movie Doctor No, which started the James Bond movie franchise, begins with a simple white dot traversing the screen. The film, introduced fashionable cocktails. James Bond was presented with a Martini, shaken not stirred in Dr. No.
