Talking about a true goosebumps moment .. on august 20, 1977 long before GCI, James Burke presenting the BBC series "Connections" pulled off a true masterpieces of timing and self control. Just imagine how it must have felt for that entire filming crew .. hearing and feeling the roar of those mighty rocket engines, knowing you just made tv history. For those who are now wondering why he mentioned Moscow and Peking as a possible destinations .. we were still in the full hot part of the Cold War era.
Additional info:
* It was filmed at Cape Canaveral, Florida, for the BBC Connections episode โEat, Drink and Be Merry.โ Recording date was August 20, 1977, even though the episode aired in 1978.
*The rocket lifting off in the background was a Titan IIIE/Centaur, succesfully launching the now iconic Voyager 2 from Cape Canaveral, Launch Complex 41, Florida USA.

*James made an actual wrong statement when referring to the Saturn V's used fuel. It used liquid oxygen (LOX) at โ160 ยฐC and RP-1 (refined petroleum), a type of kerosene (not the mentioned hydrogen). And to be entirely correct and complete, at the Voyager 2 launch, the Titan IIIE/Centaur rocket used hypergolic propellants in the Titan core, solid propellant in the boosters, and LHโ/LOX in the Centaur upper stage.

Bombshell news .. really?? Isn't this what one could expect from an antivax zealot?? With his MAHA nonsense, with all his denial of science, with all the dark ages health advise?? With all the current data, that shows (and proves beyond any doubt) how de US is sliding (further) into the health crisis sinkhole.
This news falls nicely in the line of what to expect from the current CDC and RFK .. logic, deduction 101.
@sgelfand1@vanranstmarc@ianmSC@grok You can't include a research that is carried out 2 years in the future. Cochrane dates from 2023, the Bangladesh study was carried out in 2025. That's why ..

Oh my .. what an amazing fieldday for all those chemtrail zealots out there. I feel so sorry for them, not knowing that the real reason for these amazing atmospheric phenomena is sooooo much more exiting then their conspiracy theorie. Nah .. their loss.
