  18. Many in the Moon Landing Hoax Crowd keep asking WHY we did not go back to the Moon after the Apollo missions. What they FAIL -- or REFUSE -- to understand is just how EXPENSIVE putting even UNMANNED SPACECRAFT on the Moon really is. A BUTTLOAD of CHA-CHING! is involved.

  63. I do not speak Russian. When I was in high school in the 1970s I actualky wanted to take Russian as a second language. Unfortunately, the only languages offered at the time were French, German, & Spanish. {I chose the latter.}

  64. Upon seeing the "Underground Military Base" in the title, I remembered something. I once read somewhere that decades ago a 'running joke' in Washington, D.C. {and maybe elsewhere} was the abbreviation for the then-not-too-well-known US National Security Agency, "NSA," stood for "No Such Agency."* 🤭

  68. I do not own an oscilloscope. I think flat screen TVs & monitors are cool. {Even though I am 63 and grew up watching CRTs.} All that said, oscilloscopes to me are not 'real' unless they have CRT screens.
    2
  69. FWIW: The one thing I really liked about MS Internet Exploiter -- 😉 -- was when printing something through it I could customize the headers and footers to EXACTLY the configuration I wanted. I tend to print a lot of stuff I interact with, so that was a real Plus.

  70. Great video...👍

  71. FWIW: Based on the FEW homemade rail car videos I have watched, it SEEMS like people who use wheels designed specifically for rails -- even though they tend to cost more -- seem to have better luck than when using homemade wheels.

    2

  101. FWIW, at about 02:11 in this video: I have been living in North Carolina since the mid-1990s, but I grew up in Florida not too far from MacDill AFB, I lived for about 7 years not too far from where US Southern Comand is located, and I got to visit Cape Canaveral a few times over the decades. I also visited Guantanamo Bay, Cuba a few times when I was in the US Coast Guard. Florida will always be HOME.

  104. About a minute and a half into this video, this occurred to me: Referencing your sail-powered rail car, if you were to use that thing commercially to haul mail for the US Postal Service, you could call it "Rail Sail Mail." {I will see myself to the door now...🤭}

  128. FWIW: I tend to 'go' for aircraft the are functional, rather than just sleek: The Fairy Swordfish, Blohm & Voss BV 141, Junkers JU-52, Vickers Wellington {due to its spaceframe construction}, Ercoupe/Aircoupe {I once knew two brothers who owned a 1966 Alon 'Coupe}, Lockheed C-130 Hercules {which I worked on in both the US Navy and US Coast Guard}, Transavia Air Truck {first seen by me in MAD MAX 3}, and other aircraft. All that said, Ed's "Top-Quality Fugly" definitely applies in this case.

  147. FWIW: A couple of years ago at the local dump I saw a guy disposing of two objects into the 'scrap metal object' bin {or whatever it was called}. I did not realize what they were until he actually threw them in: They were two metal ammo boxes, which looked to be in good shape. I mentioned it to the attendant -- I thought it was a waste for them to be thrown out like that -- and the attendant actually grabbed them both and gave them to me. I took them both home, both were in very good condition. Why the gentleman discarding them did not donate them to the local thrift store, I have no idea.

  167. Gabe: If you reposition this thing so the base was tilted at an angle -- pointing up perpendicular to the overhead track of the satellite -- would that allow the dish to scan mostly in azimuth without having to point through 90° straight up? {I do not know how else to word that, sorry.} EDIT→ I realize this is NOT a permanent solution, just a 'stopgap measure' to at least get uninterrupted satellite imagery and data.

  184. FWIW: I have not heavily 'researched' the C-130 Forrestal landings from the early 1960s. That said, my understanding of it was while it was certainly possible to do it, the potential dangers involved made it impractical. I believe there was something like ONLY 15 feet of clearance between the C-130's wingtip and the carrier's island. Also, having a C-130 on its flight deck meant a carrier could probably not launch -- and certainly NOT RECOVER -- any other aircraft. If the C-130 broke down, it would be STUCK on the carriers flight deck until repaired. If THAT was not possible, the C-130 would simply have to be pushed overboard and abandoned.

  228. FWIW: If you decide to try doing this in deeper water, I would suggest: (1) Use a launch rail instead of a launch rod. You can connect multiple rails to any length required. (2) Waterproof the body of the rocket {I am not sure if you did that to this rocket or not}. Also seal the rocket body so no water seeps in past the motor, nose cone, or rail buttons {used with the launch rail}. Enough wter entry would likely throw off the center of gravity of the rocket and make it unstable.

  255. I have been living in northeastern North Carolina since 1995, not too far from Chesapeake, Virginia. I wish I had known about the site there when it was still operating. There is an NSA[?] facility in that area, and I suspect that is where the antenna array was located. As I mentioned in another comment, was living in southern Florida from 1988 to 1995. I might have tried visiting the array at Homestead AFB had I known about that. I ALSO might have visited this abandoned AEROJET GENERAL rocket engine test facility in the Florida Everglades, featured in this linked video by Adam The Woo, if I had in any way known of its existence: https://youtu.be/InvlqbJ2acY

  299. FWIW: I do not know if they would pick up signals like those mentioned in this video, but I currently have TWO digitally tuned scanner radios that need new antennas. One is a portable handheld my [now ex-] wife and I purchased from RADIO SHACK in the 1990s. The other is a 'base' {non-portable} I purchased for my late Mom many years ago. She loved listening to aircraft broadcasts, as do I. She lived about 3 or 4 miles from the local airport, so she usually had signal to listen to.

  314. FWIW: There is an 'antenna tower farm'_ less than half a mile -- and maybe even less than a quarter mile -- for my current residence.

This video reminds me of my childhood: Growing up in St. Petersburg, Florida, there was a railroad yard about a mile {or maybe less} to the east of my parent's home. I remember watching the diesel switch engines moving RR cars around. My parents moved back to Indiana around 1992, and I moved to North Carolina {from where I was living in South Florida} in 1995. I have not been back to St. Pete since the early 90s, but I have checked Google Earth. In the intervening years those RR yards were closed.
