Project Mercury: America's Response To The USSR Space Exploration | Trajectory | The American Story
The emergence of the USSR and the USA as post-war superpowers drove the rapid development of ballistic missile technology. The Soviet Union's early successes in space, including launching the first satellite and sending the first human, Yuri Gagarin, into orbit, caused alarm in the USA and prompted the establishment of NASA. Project Mercury aimed to put an American into space, with the selection process for astronauts being extremely rigorous, with prerequisites including being a qualified jet pilot, having an engineering background, and being younger than 40.

    He is inspired by the pyramids. The west and east ones. If I showed you where the inspiration for that came from, then I traced you back to the source idea of his and many other's inspiration. America and Amenotep III. I could you who created the pyramids. The migration path of the hyperborean, as opposed to the migration path of the elephant.

    As a small child in 1960 I saw a black and white photo of Fallingwater in a magazine in England. It stuck in my head for some reason. It took me nearly fifty years to visit, and when I did I realized even a child could see it's simply a perfect place and unforgettably beautiful.

    George Washington was not comfortable in his own skin. He was embarrassed of his teeth, barely said a word and entered a room before others to avoid further embarrassment. He was embarrassed of himself. Insecure. That in no way makes him comfortable in his skin. Douglas Brinkley is down right wrong.

    It's like I went to a restaurant, looked at the menu (your description of your video), ordered an entree, and was brought something similar, but not what I had ordered, according to the description. I enjoyed the video, so I leave this as a sincere comment. Because of your title and description, the documentary feels disjointed. For example, if this is about an evolution of a magazine from music into politics, why did you then include the wonderful bits on Bruce Springsteen and Led Zeppelin? I think that's where I grew confused. Just end it at the political part, maybe? You go from a great, brief history of Rolling Stone magazine, into the political bit (which I really enjoyed), then into Springsteen, Led Zeppelin, Cameron Crow. ??? Again, all great topics and I enjoyed the coverage of each section, but afterwards, I literally said out loud "This was really disjointed." I want you to succeed, so I'm simply communicating honest feedback, with best intentions. 🙂

    The way his furniture is set up doesn't look like it lends itself to relationships. Some of the seating isn't really set up for conversation. Maybe it's a reflection of his narcissism.

    Couldnt be a better time for people to educate themselves on the horrors of civil war. War is one thing, Civil wars are a disaster. With the militarized state I think its a very slim chance, but its a chance. And I never thought I would live to see America so divided that they have been able to make the left hate the right to the point of dehumanizing us as bigots, and thats usually the last step in a Marxist revolution before bloodshed. I 🙏 we find our way back to America the beautiful, American exceptionalism, one nation, indivisible, for liberty and justice for all.

    These are more signs of SRA, not from the labeled mental issues. You need to track who he had been associating with over his childhood up until now. Sitters, family members, where he would go and for how long, who he was meeting with, orgs or church, or grass roots groups, because somewhere along the line they had enough time to apply MK-Ultra programming upon this poor kid, and they do not give a crap about what he may have suffered or what he will suffer now. The same goes for every mass shooting and terror event... Same Deep State SRA members

  • @jonfrancis59
    @jonfrancis59 День тому

    MK-Ultra!! This is how they create terror and horror. Manchurian Candidates... Poor kids don't even know why they are doing what they are doing. Their memories have been altered. A kid like that would not feel the need to do such a foolish thing because he thought Trump was a Racist... Lot's of real racist people in Leadership positions and Trump is the least likely to be Racist, but assassination is not even a thing a confused kid would think of, let alone the plan of walking up to an officer and then attempt to take his gun. This was hypnosis programming for sure!

    Poor Kate; The Firm had unrealistic expectations for her. Chemo is no joke. I've been Cancer free since 2018 officially. But the Chemo triggered an autoimmune disease, wiping me out. I'm probably 70% of my past self today. Chemo depletes your energy; requiring someone to be present to prevent a fall. She probably has only a few good hours a day, before returning to bed, even if the treatments have stopped.
