A separate question, not a caption, does anyone recall what the 60s show was that started with a set of 84s (I think) doing a loop? I can't remember much else of it, but the footage of the multiship loop was memorable. Have been trying to find out what it was for years.

Hoskins, in future please don't call "Last one back to the mess is a Nancy" in future. They thought you said "...has Nancy."

Hoskins and his buddies were convinced if they all went full throttle they could make the Earth rotate faster.

In the late '50s US intelligence went all out to convince the USSR the sound barrier was real.

It's like Jenga in reverse, the idea is to land on but not topple off.
