You deserve more subscriber. Anyway to simplify your video, Sci fi came because of the space race. Overall keep up with the hard work.

[@ItsMickeyTeller]

Thanks! And yes, that is the base message. Everything we watch, read, touch, and see is all a product of history.

Subscriber 159 here. Grew up in the '70s/'80s. Around the time the decades switched, I had a neighbor who told me about his advocacy work in the '60s and I think '50s for Interstate 4, Central Florida, to be built with an adjoining commuter rail and separated bicycle lane. He thought all Interstates should be built with them while we had the chance. When I met him he even wondered if his proposed interstate commuter rail could be powered with solar collectors run along the highway. As a child, I thought he was a kook. The longer I've been an adult, the more I realize he was decades ahead foreseeing both the growing problems of suburbanization and the coming technological solutions, such as e-bikes that make 50-miles a day a reasonable distance for average adult bicyclists. He was, unsurprisingly, an avid sci-fi reader. The genre seems to inspire forward thinking in the real world.

163 here. Very well done video! I was surprised that you don't have more subs. I've been a lifelong sci-fi fan. This video pickled my tickle.

[@ItsMickeyTeller]

Excellent. I will consider the tickle pickled!

Great vid, history is interesting!

[@ItsMickeyTeller]

Glad you enjoyed it!

I remember a panel at a sci-fi con where the conversation pivoted somehow to how Sputnik changed everything for writers.

[@ItsMickeyTeller]

Yeah! It’s easy to forget that not long ago, space was even more of a mystery than it is now. The space race in general was a huge deal and inspired so many writers. It was probably as if science fiction had lost its fiction.

Thank you! I appreciate that!

[@skyfetheranger6066]

This reminds me of how WW2 created the meca genre in anime

[@ItsMickeyTeller]

Probably the same concept! Our history in some form is in every story we create.

[@aldunlop4622]

Please, don't ask for Likes and Subs at the start of the video. Why would I click Like when I haven't seen the video yet? I personally find it annoying. Wait until the end, or at least halfway. just my opinion, feel free to ignore it.

[@ItsMickeyTeller]

Thanks for the feedback! Unfortunately not everyone makes it to the end of the video, (which means I have things I can improve on.) So if I don’t ask people to like and subscribe at the start, the subscribers are actually much lower per video. Liking the video, commenting, and subscribing tell KZbin that people want to see the video and KZbin pushes the video out to more people. That’s the reason KZbinrs ask at the start. I don’t like asking, but I kind of have to lol. The good thing is that I try to place chapters in every video so people can easily jump ahead.
