    So I grew up in Waxahachie, Tx. I remember when the SSC was being built and when it got shut down. It was an especially huge disappointment for our town. There were a lot of people from STEM fields that had moved here to work on the SSC. My physics teacher in HS was one of the SSC scientist that decided to stick around, he was awesome.
    It was pretty common for businesses in town to have a map with the outline of the SSC tunnels hung up on a wall somewhere. Most people that live here now are not aware of the SSC or that there is a 14 mile tunnel half way around town.
    Although I was too young to really understand what the SSC was, and I am really glad we built the ISS, I often like to think about what my little town would have turned into had the SSC been fully built. Maybe we would have 8 Whatburger's instead of the 4 we have now, you know the stuff of dreams. lol.

    I'm proud to brag here as someone who has taken a special tour of Fermilab back in 1978-79 as a doctoral student about 20 miles west of Chicago. On weekends I had a part-time job as a flight instructor at DuPage Co. airport, just west of Fermilab. I had a flight student who was employed as a "scientist" in Fermilab. The "lab" was a checkpoint for pilots to report near DuPage Co. tower at the time before entering the airport traffic area, now know as "class D" airspace.
    My student pilot offered to take me on an internal tour of the Fermilab at the time. Many needed special permission to take such a tour but I didn't because of who my "student pilot" was. My friend just happened to be a "particle physicist" who had access to the lab and was able to take me on a "special tour" of Fermilab. I feel especially privileged to have taken that tour. If my "friend" has watched this video and is still around, I'd like to thank you for that very special tour of Fermilab. It was built before CERN and was the state of the art facility at the time. Certain particles were discovered at the "Fermilab" that have gone down in history.

    "It was the Western Allies’ extreme good fortune that the Russians, and not themselves, paid almost the entire ‘butcher’s bill’ for [defeating Nazi Germany], accepting 95 per cent of the military casualties of the three major powers of the Grand Alliance," writes Hastings.... "Starting in 1941, the Soviet Union bore the brunt of the Nazi war machine and played perhaps the most important role in the Allies' defeat of Hitler. By one calculation, for every single American soldier killed fighting the Germans, 80 Soviet soldiers died doing the same." - www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2015/05/08/dont-forget-how-the-soviet-union-saved-the-world-from-hitler/

One of the two teachers who came along was our physics teacher. This was helpful because he could explain a lot of complicated stuff to us before the tour began. For the tour itself we got two scientists who led us around everywhere. They showed us the main control room, the hall where they keep all the computers and we were even allowed to go down to the tunnel and walk through those endless hallways for a bit. It was an awesome experience and we had 3 physicists for about 22 students, so a lot of opportunities to learn.

      Without American resources the Nazis and imperial Japan would have won ww2. Change my mind.

    Not "30 years ago". 50 years. It was 50 years since the 70s, Joe.

    Joe, I have a question to ask.
    As the level of CO2 changes will the colour of the sky change? or has it already changed colour?

      Are you saying that Co2 is green house is co-lore!

      I am not Joe but i think i do know the answer. CO2 levels are high enough to make climate change a thing but the levels must increase dramaticly to observe a diferrence at the colour of the sky. Great question.

      Good question! That point never occurred to me. Even the comments on his videos are worth exploring. 😉

      @@pressaltf4forfreevbucks179 It's hard for me to have any conversations about the global warming issue when there is a steady flow of fraud in the subject coming from the main distributions of the information. Science has no department of adjusted data!
      Look into the OPCW. on the Syria, Douma event of April 7th 2018.
      This is a fresh & good example of fraud coming from the top.
      There are lies that are being scientifically base to fool the population!
