The guy who designed the original B2 stealth bomber (the one from the 1950s) was a child when the Wright Flyer succeeded at Kitty Hawk. When they completed the revised B2 stealth bomber in 1992, they brought him out in his wheelchair to watch the reveal flights. He sat there and cried, saying that he finally understood why God had allowed him to live as long as he did.

[@Shinzon23]

Wasn't the B2.. It was the concept and implementation of the "flying wing" designs that Jack Northrop had been working on for decades, and who had staked his company on getting the Flying Wing designs he had accepted into the US airforce... who then didn't and his fortunes went downhill from there. By the seventies, he was in very bad health to the point of being unable to speak for long and was afraid of all the research he did back in the thirties and forties going to waste, so he contacted nasa about donating his archives and papers and was told "we haven't forgotten the work you did" Towards the 80s when it was clear he wouldn't live much longer, Northrop Grumman contacted him and asked him to come into their offices were they showed him classified briefings on it and a scale model that he held in his hands. He then placed the model down, and because he couldn't speak, a pen and wrote down "I know why God kept me alive for the past 25 years!" He died less than a year later, and the B2 bomber shares the exact same wingspan as one of his YF series of flying wings he flew in the 30s and 40s.

Oregon does not grow more potatoes than Idaho, We produce 120 million CWT of potatoes every year, that’s 1/3 of the countries entire production. That’s happening in the Snake River Plain along the South of the state. Washington and Oregon are definitely both big producers, and the three work in obvious cooperation, but we have 300,000 acres dedicated to growing potatoes and do $1 Billion in sales, compared to your 43,000 acres and $218 Million. There’s a reason people associate Idaho with potatoes, and it’s not just the marketing that comes on the sack.

In his lifetime he went from the invention of the airplane to space shuttles. No cars to cars going 200 mph. He saw the invention of the computer. The end of typhoid, fever, scarlet fever, smallpox, polio and whooping cough. When he was 10 years old Cy young was in his prime. When he died Greg Maddux was working on a second Cy young.

So fun fact about the flag of Hawai'i: the design of the current state flag is the same as that of the flag of the nation of Hawai'i. When Kamehameha I unified the islands into the Nation of Hawai'i, he actually wanted the flag to bear resemblance to the Union Jack as a sign to European powers that Hawai'i was a nation with ties to Europe (as part of the reason Kamehameha was able to complete his conquest was with the help of European weaponry). This is also the reason that the National Anthem (well, now state song) of Hawai'i, Hawai'i Pono'i, has the same tune as God Save the King/Queen ((Unfortunately, all this 'Sovereign Nation' stuff didn't help much against the US...)) Also, more stereotypes Peter could've hit for Hawai'i: SPAM (might've been a copyright issue but whatever), shave ice, surfboards, raw fish cut into cubes, and flip-flops (or, as we call 'em, slippahs)

I have a weird theory that the surge in the amount of serial killers back in the day was due to leaded gas. You know, like kids eating lead paint.

You don't hear about new serial killers as often anymore cause no new ones are being created because of less current use of leaded gas.

Also, fun Kansas City history fact: the city was founded as a trading hub 10 years before the state of Kansas ever joined the union. It was named after the Kansas River which was named after the Kansa people who lived around it (originally know as the Kansa’s River.) Basically the idea was that traders could either take the Kansas out west, or they could take the Missouri to the Mississippi. The municipality only spilled over into Kansas because businesses in the Louisiana Territory try to trick creditors in New York into thinking they were part of a state instead of a territory.

Then after the Civil War was over, in an effort to reunite Marylanders (who were extremely divided with loyalties between the Union and Confederacy. With one side using one part of the flag to rally under and the other side using the other part to rally under). The two parts were combined and have been like that since.

Fun Fact: The one thing that the Wright Brothers brought to the table that no one else at the time could because they didn't understand the principle was... THE PROPELLER!!! All other wanna-be airplanes at the time had Fan Blades on them; essentially flat pieces of steel welded to a hub at an angle and then bolted to the crankshaft of an engine. The Wright Brothers famously understood the concept of aerodynamics in such a way as to increase the angle of inflection of the propeller blade the closer it got to the hub. Just like on a merry-go-round, the closer in you are, the slower you are moving. On a propeller, the angle had to increase in order to divert more air on the inner edges of the blade in order to maintain consistent airflow, and thus, consistent thrust! This allowed them to actually take off from the ground instead off of a standing structure, famously oooing and aweing audiences at airshows in Britain & France as few people in the U.S. had little interest at the time. It was little more than an entertaining novelty until, yaknow, war happened. Suddenl,y everyone and their mother suddenly wants as many as they can get, yadda yadda yadda, The Night Witches! 😆😆😆

I have an uncle that worked at NASA that is now retired. I have no idea what he did at NASA. He still lives in Cocoa beach FL. He says he helped to strap the people into the shuttle that exploded in 1986. He had some mental health issues after as he Personally knew most of them.

As a Marylander it's not 2 flags we can't choose between. Calvert, Lord of Baltimore founded MD and it was the coat of arms of Calvert(black & gold) & Crossland, his mother's family. We also have the oldest state house still in use, we were once the nations capital & the Treaty of Paris was ratified in our state house, when it was the capital. Maryland is also called America in miniature because we have every terrain in the country here. History lesson for ya🙃

They didnt roast Massachusetts because the creator, Seth McFarlane, has a emotional, recreational and financial attachment to it and his parents/family are from there. He also knows the region well and its why the setting of many of his works and characters is based in that region like family guy. Its setting is in RI. The 3 kinda go hand in hand. At least thats what he said about his reasoning behind these things. Ironically he lives in Beverly Hills and/or Malibu now. Well maybe its not that ironic or just a little.

Family Guy got it mostly right with Ohio, years ago my husband and I went to Akron Ohio and visited Edison's childhood home. His first work shop was nextdoor, the told us on the tour, when he returned after most of the country had electricity in their homes, he realized he never had the family home wired up.

1:43 Seward's folly was a good thing. And I know they're joking, but Alaska in the summertime is great. I went up there when I was 10 years old right after the Exxon Valdez oil spill. Never gets dark outside, so for 2 weeks you could just play 24 hours a day, your parents had to tell you to come in and go to sleep, but more likely they found you asleep in the yard at 3:00 in the morning because you thought it was four in the afternoon

As a mainer something I wanna add to the boiling lobster thing is that when you put them live in the pot they'll bang their claws against the pot walls. It's enough to turn someone off of seafood. Witnessed it twice in my life. Also, the part of Maine I live in is so far from anything, you gotta do a lot of online shopping to get anything good. So even if you don't remember if you ordered something you tend to perk up if you see or hear a UPS truck.

so as a big baseball fan ill clarify Steve Bartman was in the stands listening to the play by play on the radio and watching, but the ball was in the stands and was his right to the ball and didn't interfere. this was game 6 of the NLCS best of 4 and immediately after the shortstop botched a inning ending double play which then resulted in the marlins scoring seven unanswered runs and the cubs would lose that game and then lose game seven and the marlins would go on to beat the yankees in the world series that year. he was receiving death threats for years and only in 2016 did people forgive him...for something he did nothing wrong. in a small interview he said he was sorry and that he doesn't hold anyone in bad faith for their reaction and that he is thankful the cubs gave him a ring when they finally won the world series and he just wants to go back to being a normal person again

18:57 - aviation has been the most time compressed advancement ever, for sure. The peak of aviation innovation in the 1900s, from the first flight of an airplane to landing humans on the moon. We have refined airplane and jet/rocket engine technology, but during the advent of all of those things, as an engineer and pilot that would be the one point in time I would have loved to have witnessed and been a part of. Great point made and lots of historical lessons to be learned from that time!!!

One thing with barista's is they look like EVERYONE on a given day (I know I was one at University of Washington). When "coffee culture' was not a thing and there were espresso carts on almost every downtown corner and supermarket parking lots. When 'Two Tall Skinny with Cher Sugar" meant a double tall non fat latte with splenda. Where you would coffee bars with gas station theme menus at places like University Coffee and Toast Bar. Regular mean drip, unleaded =decaf 30 wt was a mocha etc etc. dozens of toasters for your toast order and video monitors (old tv's) for music vids from local bands.
