7:30 that is the Lockheed Martin Space facility in Littleton, CO. It started out as the Glenn L. Martin Corp. in 1954 and later became Martin Marietta when Martin merged with American Marietta Corp. Martin built the plant to manufacturer Titan I ICBMs. Over the years, Atlas rockets and numerous satellites have been made there. I worked there from 2013-2019 and it truly is an amazing place.
Lucky you, LM’s a dream company for me. What did you do there?
Understood and am grateful for your help in this matter and as I said God has set you here in destiny and this is what you have been looking forward to seeing in the world of your own destiny
This shows the great ability of the engineers of that time, who knew how to do something with hard work and technical knowledge. Today, something like this cannot be created with a mouse in hand and looking at a screen....Not in three years.
I worked there 1982-1992 as a machinist 1st floor factory. Titan II refurb/titan III, titan IV, B1B Horizontal stabilizers etc.
Pad2pad, funny. It’s amazing to view this history, and to see the progenitors of today’s launch vehicles. What a time to be an engineer.
I saw similar silo construction footage at the Titan Missile Museum, but it’s still amazing to see in this video the construction with all the earth removed. Watching the Titan liftoff, what was done for acoustic dampening? Certainly not water….
5:00 - There's a fifth unmentioned item that had to be developed and that was miniaturised thermonuclear warheads which were first tested in Operation Redwing in 1956.
Awesome vintage videos, keep them coming Periscope! You are appreciated!
Playlist saved - thank you !
Love these videos thank you so much.
This is a 1964 film, but note how he stated, minds of men and where it should have been. There are a lot of good things in here!
Wow. Great.
Oh yeah, kid! "We can still remember" illustrated by V-2 starting rocket, built by NAZI SS member Werner von Braun, who was just a few years later a chief of american rocket and space program. Yes, we remember...
huh? @@zdzichus.3264
@@zdzichus.3264 Von Braun was a rocket enthusiast first, Nazi party member somewhere way down a list of other priorities.
@@zdzichus.3264 Von Braun had to be a party member to survive.
Nothing without our team
...learn something new? This stuff gave us protection to provide posterity to our progeny.
I left my wallet in El Segundo.
I gotta get it back!!
Starlight array and the moon first magnetic fields moving object directly the threw the gates making colonization possible and valuable with the support of the works our ancestors which built the machines we need

Sputnik caused the greatest penis envy panic in American history, but America increased the length, width and weight of their cars, and all was well in the world once again ...

It is so sad seeing the decline of our country from being a super power and now becoming a 3rd world country.
Agreed.
Fictional propaganda pushed by the republican party and its leader has attempted to undermine democracy, weaken judicial independence, and curtail press freedom in our nation. The United States is the most powerful nation in the world.
The saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.
