That Titan launch was gorgeous.

Titan was a beast

[@tmikkelsen8066]

I got to see the last titan 2 launch ever at vandenberg afb in CA when I was stationed there. Was pretty cool.

We went from a airplane that flew a few hundred feet at Kitty Hawk in 1903 to an ICBM that put the nosecone within a mile of its target more than 5,000 miles down range in 56 years. That is amazing progress.

[@iitzfizz]

And takes a trip through space to do so...Amazing.

Who is this narrator. He deserves a doc

[@brothergrimaldus3836]

A lot of them were actually done by Ray Walston.

[@vincentrusso4332]

Yet we are supposed to be behind in modern hyper technology....oh no son...in 40 years we will declassify just how far ahead we were....

[@booklover6753]

We aren't behind at all. All ICBMS are hypersonic but Tucker won't tell you that.

I want to understand this comment. Can you pinpoint some history I should be looking at to better understand what you mean to say? I’d really appreciate it!

​@@ethanyo7671that capabilities are far more advanced than people realise & the future will prove it, classified information is obviously heavily protected.. only the people working on secret projects know.

Is ripple device real?

The Soviet translation sounds rightfully frightened from 1960

19:20 "The successful launch and orbit of Atlas 10b will undoubtedly be rated as one of the most significant milestones in the history of the development of America's space program." LOL!

[@booklover6753]

The first Americans in space were riding ballistic missiles intended for delivery of atomic weapons. I wouldn't have rode one, but there you go.

[@h-e-acc]

Damn… and in 10 years, America lands on the moon 😮

[@Sedgewise47]

Amazing how fast progress moves, eh? 🧐Compare with how many decades separate a Sopwith Camel from a V-1 “buzz bomb”… 😏Man, those visitors who crash landed in Roswell sure helped to speed things up a bit, didn’t they? 😏 😆 😝

[@LuciFeric137]

And we've gone essentially no where since then.
