This project was rather interesting. My father was actually stationed at Camp Century. I couldn't believe my eyes when I got to 6:26 in the video and saw my dad cooking the meal! I showed my father and it actually brought tears to his eyes. He just turned seventy-nine, but his eyes were as young as the day the video took place as he watched and reminisced. Thank you for posting this piece of his history for me to find.

I'm sitting 4 feet from one of the cooks ( well the cook in this snipit ) Staff Sargent Clide Teeter ( he says he dosent remember what he's was making ) he says they made more ice cream then anything...

[R.R. Siefkes]

Not many people were small enough to get back to the gens and steam out the ice build up.

There's a whole conspiracy behind; after WWII during the reconstruction of most of the world, the morale of the population was too low to achieve anything constructive, hence a guy came up with colour (its the mixture of two bacteria mixed in the toilet of a pothead who was taking tons of LSD). The whole thing was financed by the British government.

Concerning paintings, they were made by those who first experienced the benefits of colour. Thats pretty much what happened

(note: I'm kidding)

Color has been around since the dawn of time... Color TV didn't come around until around 1953.

[TheBirdThatWhistles]

They didn't have colour in real life and you are expecting that they had Colour TV? You're high or what?

I thought colour came in the sixties, but it seems that I was wrong.

[GizmoJunk]

Do you mean Color TV & film or color in general?

[TheBirdThatWhistles]

wait... they had colour in 1959?

[HeWhoIsIAm420]

I have pictures from inside Camp Century.

Anyone that would like to see them can contact me and I will detail the procedure for retrieving the pictures.

I cannot elaborate any farther than that.

And by "research center"  they meant "Missile silo capable of storing hundreds of nuclear weapons to get the jump on Russia"

It was closed in the 60's, because the ice walls caved in sooner than expected. The nuclear reactor was removed. They visited it in 1969 and it was already badly damaged by then. Now it's most likely totally collapsed.
