The Tornados - Telstar (NASA Tribute II)

I dedicate this video to my Dad. He inspired me to pursue mathematics and science, while at the same time, to appreciate the arts. He is a great father.

This video is a more refined version with higher resolution pictures. The space program of the 1960's was a wonderful thing for a young boy with an 80-power reflecting telescope, and a big imagination. I will never forget running home from playing in the neighborhood to see CBS's "Footsteps On The Moon" program, featuring our Moon landing.

Sorry to inform all the nostalgia nuts here that the majority of hundreds of billions of your tax dollars were NOT spent on the NASA space program but were funneled into private business projects. (It's called "fascism" - government/corporations). They stole the money you earned, built a false front (NASA) and then took the bulk of the cash for secret weapons development - future ammo for conquest! THEY profit and YOU lose! Suckers.

[nath0hcker]

I wonder how many people will come here because they watched 24 hours in A & E?

The wonders of our early space programs...and now obimbo has converted NASA into what it was originally intended for: "muslim outreach". What a guy!

@t4705mb6 gotta love those storys, i will tell elvis next week

[t4705mb6]

@uberdeity You will very soon find out that the majority of those tax dollars went into secret WAR weaponry. (They will be used against YOU!) NASA was a front. Sorry to disillusion the sheep. I lived at Cape Kennedy for many years. My father was a top NASA engineer. What the public "benefits" from, as far as profits are concerned, is NOTHING compared to the technologies which have been gained by mega-corporations and HIDDEN from society. That's okay. Keep barking.

@t4705mb6 Also, most of the money didn't go on secret weapon development. It went to companies who developed technologies and made parts for the space program. This tech then benefited us (GPS being the most obvious, with a whole host of more esoteric inventions that power the world 'behind the scenes'). Yes, they used the profit from it to make weapons. There'll always be demand for a bigger gun than the next guy, so it makes good business sense.
