one for those of us glued to the telly in the late 60s when astronauts were due to splash down in some ocean and we watched clouds on the screen for ages waiting for a dot to appear. it's kind of related. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/cly57d5jw7eo
That's pretty incredible, staggering really - you wouldn't need to be far out of alignment to make a right mess!
Amazing how things have advanced from the first launch of Sputnik. Often think how things changed during the days of my grandparents, probably more than any other period. They had started school before man’s first flight and went on to see the first man on the moon, Concorde and flight becoming an everyday occurrence and not the province of the rich. From cat’s whisker radios to the first talkies to having a colour television in their later years, from an abacus to calculators and the computer era.
Yes. The world would have been different if penicillin, amongst other things, had been invented. Though 3 of my grandparents lived to 90 and above so did well all things and 2 world wars considered.
If that had been Boeing it probably would have slammed into the tower and gone up in a massive explosion.
I'm kind of speechless seeing that, but at the same time it seems inevitable that technology will continue to do things we never dreamed of not so long back. In the meantime we've still got folk dropping bombs on one another. How stupid are we... I suppose this'll get deleted soon, fair enough.
