I know I shouldn’t feed the trolls, but the “United States” down the side of the booster is a pretty good clue this isn’t a Soviet launch. Looks like a Redstone with a Mercury capsule. Probably the MR-1 launch, where the booster failed and the capsule escape rockets fired but did not separate the capsule.
