Was the man at the end who says "GO" anyone of significance? Was he a famous personality or just a random person? I thought that was a bit out of place but somehow loved that scene (short as it was).

Was he supposed to be one of the engineers? I don't think it was a cameo as he was too young to have worked on the real project.
shareHe was one of the reporters... those cicadas always running around asking idiot questions.
shareI think he was a reporter, but he could be any person yelling for him like we would yell at the ball carrier running down the field towards the goal, or a horse you've bet on in a race. You just yell GO!
I love that scene, too.
Character is a reporter who has been them the entire program and has seen his share of failures. Now finally a man in space with a successful launch and orbit and ultimately re-entry. Love this Film!
