I was ten years old during the 1962 Cuban missle crisis. Even though I was too young to fully appreciate the danger, the sweat dripping off my Dad's (a civil engineer USN employee building radar sites to counter Soviet air attacks) chin said it all. When I asked him about it years later, he informed me US intelligence indicated our hometown, Boston, MA, and his radar sites, were targeted with three 3-megaton Soviet weapons.

I see . J

I don't remember the fear that is so often cited. You listened, you learned, and you planned for survival. That's all. I was always fascinated by all the sci-fi stories about post-apocalyptic societies.

For Aliens, Visiting Earth would be like visiting a Land Fill What NASA has done so far, to have kept the ISS from being completely Obliterated by Space Trash is astonishing to me

[@pierredecine1936]

I was 4 days from 1 year old when Sputnik flew, I remember it because my Dad worked at Cape Canaveral !

Concord was not banned from the US,it was ,banned from flying Supersonic across the US

Humankind's Extraordinary Gift For Invention... indeed! This documentary seems to confuse jet engines with rocket engines, however. Let us just keep the descriptions accurate...

[@dagann1]

Exactly!...lol

Computers have dehumanized humans. Computers are/have been removing humans from normal social skills. Computers are interfering with people's privacy and personal lives.

THIS IS Phenomenal Documentary Thank you So Much!!!!

[@get.factual]

We are so glad you enjoyed it!❤️

[@williscopeland7114]

Narrator states 41:40 that the Hubble mission has to launch higher than any shuttle mission before or since. What about the mission to repair the shuttle? It probably had to go as high doncha think?

[@thomasschoon8407]

You mean to fix the Hubble later because the lenses were incorrectly polished and blurred the images.......

[@ioanbota9397]

I like

[@dagann1]

So, In 1958, America's second chance at a missile launch was successful with a "jet" engine... huh? Excuse me, but to reach space required a "rocket" propelled vehicle. Neither the "Sputnik" satellite nor all the following lunches used jet-assisted propulsion vehicles and they did the same as the Nazi V-2 rocket that penetrated our atmosphere to achieve space travel. Either that, or there is a major aspect of my education to suggest otherwise! Right?...lol.

There is nothing green about batteries, or the way we charge them.

Ronald Reagan knew how to play poker. The Strategic Defense Initiative was a bluff hand. The Soviet Union folded because of it.

[@dagann1]

True, however, It was the "cruise missile" of the seventies that forced the Soviets to the negotiating table. In fact, it caused the Russians to fold their hand. It was too expensive to match and in doing so would allow their field commanders the authority to launch their retaliate countermeasures without Moscow's authorization. They always feared a renegade commander deep in the field to threaten the extreme communists of the Politico in Moscow to surrender their power or face the possibility of being annihilated. That was a condition they feared the most. As it was, Moscow's finger was on the launch button, thus, that would require them to give the field commanders too much authority to launch independently. Meanwhile, NATO forces in Europe and the United States were armed with cruise missiles from the great triad consisting of air, land, and sea sources. These missiles had long-range capability, could deviate from their flight path, correct themselves, and fly below Russian radar. And do so in a fraction of the time for the Russians to retaliate. Despite the notion that only "Uncle Ronny" breached the Russian resolve, It was "Peanut-Growing King Carter" who forced the Soviets to reconsider their future plans. After all, Carter was one of Admiral Rickover's proteges who served as a nuclear submarine commander during his naval service. Yet, this seems to be ignored by neocon supporters. And no. I'm not calling you a neocon. In fact, I have no idea. I'm just making a point. And Reagan's bold talk of Star Wars aided in this plot. Besides, Russia was broke...lol.

Greatest invented story

[@randallbevansr5200]

You spent thousands of hours? Well you've wasted thousands of hours,The IRS will not reimburse you, you get no retirement

[@thomasschoon8407]

Ok?

[@scottweidt9144]

Not even close to jet engines. Chemical rocket engines

[@Justin28082]

Which probably means one should question everything this documentary explains.
