The 1980s - The greatest movie decade ever! A year by year review!!
damn...
As was common across the country, I was in the "common" room at our men's residence hall during my second year of college. The room was packed for the "drawing'. A date would be called and somewhere in the room we would hear muttering, or something a little more colorful, and someone would walk out. Personally, my birthdate was one of the last called.

Question: What happened to the Great Chain?
Most of it was melted down after the war ended. Some small portions of the chain remain and our part of war memorials!
If you ever visit West Point they have a memorial there with 13 of the links.
Didn’t know a chain could stop a warship
A wooden warship - maybe!? But the British never tried so we will never know! The fact that they never tried made the chain a success.
I remember seeing an electric car sixty years ago. In a museum where they belong.
cool story - well done. Never knew that Benedict Arnold was in charge of West Point at one point. Scary thought!!
Yes. And by coincidence, about the time the British were going to attack, George Washington himself arrived unexpectedly to review Arnold's work on the defenses there so it was conceivable that both West Point and General Washington could have been captured. Perhaps unlikely but maybe possible. The story of the sudden collapse of Arnold's plot, perhaps on the verge of success, is very interesting.
Are you saying that Elon is a copy cat?
BEV failed on the market for three big reasons 100ish years ago and those problems have still not been solved. 1 recharge time. Gas can be "recharged" to 100 % in 5 minutes. BEV, hours. 2 range, see # 1. 3 battery maintenance, a gas tank needs no maintenance and doesn't shrink with use. Batteries shrink with use and need replaced $$$$
The fragile 900-pound battery is the flaw of the EV.
Very true electric transportation was eradicated by the fuel mongers. Now we make electric cars that burn your house down and can not be economically maintained. This also requires the earth getting ripped up more due to political insanity across the world. America does not have an adequate charging infrastructure to support the cart before the horse. Oh how I miss the good ole days. First, there was fire, then the wheel.
Well done, all the best with your adventure on youtube
Thanks!
