In a certain part of America I spent a few of my formative years in, it's absolutely nuke-u-lar. :-) At least I don't say "light-bub" and "breafkast"... anymore. 😋
The British did have an agreement to share nuclear bomb data as part of handing over the "tube alloys" research on the bomb to the U.S., (giving them an advantage) when it first became interested in producing a nuclear weapon. However after the detonation of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs tthat the end of the war they broke their agreement much to the disgust of the British scientist's that worked on the Manhatten project.
A well known episode on this side of the Atlantic, strangely Americas lack of integrity isn't as widely known on the western side of the Atlantic - what a shock! And it isn't the only act of disgraceful dishonesty, does anyone remember super-sonic aircraft being banned in any airspace controlled by Boeing or McDonald Douglas (AKA America) to destroy Concord? We do!
@MrTexasDan At the start of the war they required all stocks, gold and information on technology such as jet engines, radar etc before they would supply the commonwealth countries with clapped out crap. Churchill said "They intend to beggar us". The moment the war was over the U.S. government stopped lend-lease requiring payment in full for ALL items supplied, including those that had already set sail. The cabinet papers from the period show that the U.S. knew that it would cause starvation in the U.K. and used that to force the British government to acquiesce to their demands. It was only recently that the U.K. debt was paid off. The U.S. has been an inconsistent ally at best.
@@jeffdroog Hardly. I just answered your question in a manner to which RUclips couldn't object. I actually thought you wanted to learn something. Silly me, eh?
You've got to ditch the metric or provide SAE units also. I have no idea what lengths you were talking about because I can not convert them fast enough to follow along.
Depends on what part of America you are from. Some, while arguing you can take their guns when you pry them from their cold, dead hands, would also say the same for their "nuke-u-lar", "breafkast", "light-bub", etc. 😋
A fine and informative video, but you seem to have a few problems with pronunciation. nuclear (Br: /'njuːkliəʳ/; Am: /'nuːkliəʳ/; “NEW-clear”) Prospero (Br: /ˈprɑspəˌrəʊ/ ; Am: /ˈprɑspəˌroʊ/ or /ˈprɑspˌrou/; “PROSper-oh”) For the key to the pronunciation guides, look up “IPA” or “International Phonetic Alphabet”. Edited to make some small corrections to the pronunciation guides and to add the reference to IPA.
I love this show so much, I wish it would get more support from the algorithm. It’s so professionally done!
I agree, I forgot what channel is filmed as he fly in a plane
Higher Learning. :-)
Clicked for the thumbnail because I love a monty python reference. Stayed for the content.
It's like New-Clear.
Not nuke-u-lar
Oh weird you get it sometimes, still a great video I knew nothing about

Every pronunciation I have ever heard in high school, college, and i 10:08 n movies is nuke-u-lar. I have never heard new clear.
@@RachelHiskeyso everyone has been wrong. It's 'new-clear'.
This subject reminds me of recent "Plainly Difficult", "Curious Droid", "Alexander the ok" and "Ordinary Things" videos.
All worth checking out.
It was a more British Australian space program as much of their launch facilities and testing range was in Australia.

Sounds like us… we figured we *can* do it, but decided “nah, cba” lol
What the fuck is cba?
Pint more important 😂

Sounds like the Top Gear team is as successful with launches as is the UK govt.
I just can't listen any more to you saying noo-cu- lar!
You should hear me say "breafkast" 😋
Eisenhower said noo-cu-lar.
(and of course the rest of the world thought he was an idiot for it)
It is Noo Clee Ar ... just how it's speeled.
Did you say, “newculer research”? It’s phonetic. “Nu-clear”…🙄
The Q is silent.
