Produced in 1960 by Jerry Fairbanks Productions, The Big Bounce tells the remarkable story of the Echo communications satellite — the first successful attempt to reflect radio signals off a satellite and bounce them around the world. Combining real NASA footage, engineering visuals, and optimistic narration, the film captures the excitement of the early Space Age, when humanity first began linking the planet through space-based technology.

This short documentary embodies the vision, innovation, and confidence of mid-century America — when science fiction was turning into science fact.
