The video describes an Air Force experiment at White Sands, New Mexico, where a rocket carrying mice and a monkey is launched into space. The experiment aims to study the effects of space travel on living organisms. The rocket reaches high speeds and altitudes, with data collected on the monkey's heartbeat. The experiment concludes that humans may withstand space travel, as the animals return safely.
