    As a boy I watched my Uncle and cousin appear on this show. They had just won the national model
    rocket championship with a 12 foot tall working replica of the Saturn V. My Unc. was a rocket scientist
    for Rockwell and worked on solid fuels for the real Saturn V.

    George Schaller, who is still very much alive and active, is recognized by many as the world's foremost field biologist. He is also a noted conservationist. After his work with gorillas, he expanded his research into studying many other species around the world.

      @@victoriataylor5457: According to the Wikipedia entry for him, updated in January of 2019, he is listed as being "84-85," I think the reason for the uncertainty is that, while the year of his birth is given, his exact date of birth is not.

      In the first few episodes, they did. The panel would ask more questions and clarify why they got some of the answers they did. It was somewhat intriguing, but I think the show dropped it because all this time was already spent talking about this person, so it seemed unnecessary to give them more.

    Sadly, I heard that Niki de Saint Phalle developed some health issues due to some of the materials she worked with, like fiberglass. She died of lung problems, as far as I know. My

    Boy, that Robert Sheridan story sure leaves a whole lot of questions wide open. What did they do to the poor man? What kind of psyop was this? There should be a movie made about this and Tom Hanks would be the ideal one to play him. They actually have a semblance. I could tell which was the real one straight away, because there is a real sadness and sense of loss of all that time on his kind face. I hope he sought and saw full justice, to include the truth and all those years of back pay of his veteran's benefits. That's some way the army takes care of its men... How did he get IDs to work, drive, sign contracts and open a bank account all those years, if he didnt have a birth certificate or equivalent? And no wife or family. Shows how important identity is in love and intimacy. An entire panoply of latent questions, philosophical and moral issues here.

    • @lowbridge7070

      His loss of amnesia started in 1946. I imagine in those years and the 1950s, it was alot more easier to get meaningful employment, a bank account, etc, without any ID or get new ID with a new name. He got jobs loading boxcars, at a casino in reno, nevada, a railroad detective in California, a juvenile counselor in sacramento, and even a deputy sheriff in nevada.
