HOLLOMAN HIGH SPEED TRACK - THEN AND NOW
The complete documentary is available on RUclips , just search for “doctor teller very large bomb documentary” and there is a video with subtitles in a language I don’t know but the audio is the original English , it’s about 45 minutes and worth every second.
The definition of Balls to the Wall.
I was friends with Richie way back in the early Village days. Watching this video reminds me of when we were hanging around at the "Scoop", an ice cream shop downstairs from a jazz joint, and he was experimenting with his open cord playing. We were both so young! It was a great joy to see how developed he became, so successful. He was a wonderful person. We were all so lucky...... I was so lucky to have known him❤❤❤
Million degree x-rays
Fantastic short, I adore this film and it’s so wonderful to hear the crew members talk about the work they do for, see their excitement, and the ingenuity. This really brought me back to my childhood obsession with SFX makeup and practical effects-might have to revisit that interest.
Outstanding guitar player, singer, and musician who performace immersed you in his endless humanity
I used to watch this when it was re-run on American cable tv and I loved Boneaparte. I was obsessed with Jim Henson’s muppets and really any type of puppeteered special FX so it’s great to read the comments and see the actual creator that helped bring this skeleton to life!
USS TRANSISTOR
is he playing open tuning?
demaciado genial ese hombre
"Yo dawg, we heard you like nukes, so we put a nuke in yo nuke so you can go extinct while you go extinct"
True Love
Bravo para ti! Señor Richie sabía tocar cambios en la guitarra, muy bien. Dios los bendiga
Fred wrote quite the disappointed diatribe against the picture once it reached theaters. Kubrick fooled them and made the movie with his own agenda.
Am I d**ng? Is it over? Did I miss my chance to become somebody and now all that's left is this?
Many of those phones have design cues that remind me of Nortel Meridian
Designed by the same lab, in Ottawa. The Meridian design was done in 1984. "Business meets on the Meridian".
he saw the UFOs!!
I can't find any bad memories of him , I remember listening to Richie Havens as I got ready to go to school in the mornings.... he had a very distinctive unique guitar style
But did derivations outweigh and will they outlast THE CONQUEST OF SPACE?
It's amazing to me that a key component in a fusion device is styrofoam.
Wow, thank you..
they should have sent him by rocket into space, he would have been the first man and American in orbit, and this is how a monkey is the first American and the second in the world
Ahh that's why the end is so poor in what is otherwise a incredible film.
first off, stunning performance of a great song. second, what's the deal with the carton of milk sitting on the console?
I recall Reiner with guests Uncle Vinty and up to and including Frank Zappa. A real genius who stayed in Toronto.
Satanists faking space
They are basically recreating the process thats going on inside a star all the time, as if the sun from 93 million miles away briefly decided to touch the surface of the Earth. We have uncovered and recreated the very processes that formed so much of what is in the universe, all based on Einstein's simple equation, that E=Mc2 can explainn so much of what we see in the universe.
Richie has such a unique, fantastic and brilliant guitar playing technique. As well as a great voice
Chuck the security guard was a late night cult delight. How he got Richie Havens on his strange show is a much appreciated wonder.
Richie was as unique a human being as he was a guitar player. I was so lucky 2 see him play live a few yrs before his passing. He came 2 perform in wilkes barre Pennsylvania on public Square. He loved people n b4 the show he walked around and enjoyed the fine arts festival going on. He talked with many people and everyone loved it. He was scheduled to play like an hr but actually performed 4 us for 2and a half hrs . He was so amazing and his vocals made me cry numerous times. It was so powerful and real. He again walked thru the crowd after the show and I watched him sign autographs and talk with us answering questions etc. We hung on every word. He is greatly missed. RIP Mr Havens. A true and real legend of our time . ❤❤❤
I’d do it. I’d enjoy it
Wow hats off to Joe Kittinger for continuing the program with Red Bull and Felix.
Every element on the periodic table is briefly created? I thought that only happens in a supernova.
A fusion detonation is like a superonova in a very small scale, happening within milliseconds, creating elements which decay in nanoseconds.
This was the design used for the Fat Man bomb. It still amazes me that they felt no need to test the Little Boy device before unleashing it on Hiroshima.
Because they already knew( more like had a good feeling) the gun type for Uranium-235 would work. The gun type design would not work for plutonium tho.
Tv show like this helps kids learn. Tvo is a fun inactive learning platform. Tvo needs money. To support our children in continuing their education
Memory unlocked... oh wow... lol 😲🤯❤
This is so awesome that this exists - i saw this live when it originally aired - just beauootiful
Dude knew he could buck the "Mahogany Desk" crowd because he was far more valuable in service than they were. He had huge brass balls to lay it down for those tests. Big respect to this guy.
My question is….how did they fit his huge steel balls into that sled? Absolutely fearless.
Guitar not standard - open G?
Open D
Beautiful artist.
Does anybody remember when America was still ascendant, when were still on our way up? Now, we are scared to death of a harmless virus, and we are worried about (God help us) a person's pronouns.
extremely
This is a lot like how the Grinch used himself as a test dummy in the live action How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
Hmm, Apollo 11 used 7.5 million Lbs. of thrust to achieve a max velocity of 25.000 MPH to get into space yet none of the AstroNOTs broke any bones or were injured??? What did this guy travel at a mere 6,000 MPH. Makes you wonder doesn't it...
Honest FBI agents, it's just a high school science project.
" IT'S A BOY"..😊
I had the privilege of meeting Colonel Kittinger a few times before he passed, even have an autographed copy of his book 📕’Come up & get me’ what a remarkable man.
Actor Clan Murphy played Doh in the embodiment of Oppenheimer's character to the fullest. What an internal struggle the nuclear bomb is when it falls. It does not differentiate between good and secret, but let's aspirate and detonate a very powerful explosion and send with it the radiation resulting from the explosion. Oppenheimer's movie will be a timeless masterpiece in biographical films
That’s one bad mf
