00:09We live in amazing times
00:12That's what I'm talking about
00:13Uncertain times
00:15Times that make us scratch our heads and wonder
00:18What in the hell is that?
00:21Join me on a search for answers
00:23Answers that require puppets
00:25Tuba players
00:27Unexpected discoveries
00:29And a little help
00:30From my old buddy Chuck
00:32Together
00:33We're going to prove that every single thing
00:37In our crazy and unpredictable world
00:39Is connected
00:40I'm Mike Rowe
00:42And this is 6 Degrees
00:50April 14th, 2019
00:53Or
00:54April 14th, 2018
00:57Or
00:58April 14th, 2015
01:02Doesn't matter what year it is
01:04What matters
01:05Is that it's April 14th
01:08And you've done it again
01:09You've put it off
01:11To the last moment
01:12Your duty
01:13As a patriotic American
01:15To pay your taxes
01:18Why do you do this
01:20Year after year
01:21Why do you wait
01:22Till the last possible second
01:24Don't you know that procrastination
01:25Is the thief of time?
01:27Of course you do
01:28You just don't care
01:29Because this is how you roll
01:31You like the pressure
01:32You like waiting for
01:34The very last moment
01:36Most importantly
01:37You like sending in your returns
01:39With zero mathematical mistakes
01:41How do you do it?
01:43What's your secret?
01:44The way I heard it
01:45The answer starts
01:47With sheep
01:53That's right
01:53Sheep
01:54Yeah, I know it sounds like a stretch
01:56And there will be some pit stops
01:58Along the way
01:59But
01:59By the end of our journey
02:01It will be made crystal clear
02:03How a sheep
02:04Can do your taxes
02:08And cut
02:09We got it?
02:10Got that
02:11Moving on
02:11We're happy?
02:12Retake
02:13We're happy
02:13God
02:14I love it when they're happy
02:15Our show actually begins
02:18In 1760
02:19April 14th
02:21I don't know about the date
02:23But it's definitely 1760
02:25When this guy
02:27Robert Bakewell
02:29Is about to become
02:30The pioneer
02:31Of the agricultural revolution
02:35In England
02:38He is a very big deal
02:40He inherited his family's farm
02:42And recently
02:43He's been touring Europe
02:45Getting up to speed
02:46On the latest farming techniques
02:48Today, however
02:49He's looking at these sheep
02:51And he's saying to himself
02:54They look kind of yummy
02:56People don't really eat sheep
02:58In these days
02:59They're mainly bred for their wool
03:01But Bakewell is saying
03:02If they were bigger
03:03And if they were plumper
03:05Well, then they would be
03:06More delicious
03:07The question is
03:08How do you get a bigger
03:09Plumper sheep?
03:12Incest
03:13Actually, selective breeding
03:15But that wasn't a term yet
03:17So, Bakewell starts thinking
03:20If I want more sheep
03:21To look like the sheep
03:22I want to replicate
03:23Then I've got to
03:24Hook them up together
03:25The question is
03:26How do we best
03:28Demonstrate the technique
03:29Here on a family-friendly show?
03:31I'm going with green screen
03:33And animation
03:37Before Bakewell took over
03:38Sheep were allowed to co-mingle
03:40And breed with whichever partner
03:42They pleased
03:43Sure, sounds romantic
03:44But the resulting offspring
03:46Had a random
03:47Not necessarily ideal set of traits
03:49Often that meant
03:51Scrawny sheep
03:52Fit to be sweaters
03:53And not much else
03:54Bakewell wanted to be more deliberate
03:56His sheep were going to mate
03:58On his terms
04:01So, he separated the males and females
04:04So that he could better control
04:06The breeding process
04:07He called this process
04:09In and in
04:10A method that ensures
04:12Preferable traits are exaggerated
04:14Even if the sheep are related
04:16Awkward
04:17But it works
04:18The result?
04:20The Lester sheep
04:21A hornless animal
04:22That produced a fine yield
04:24Of fatty meat
04:25But Bakewell
04:26Didn't just breed
04:27For quality
04:28He also bred for quantity
04:30And he branched out
04:31From sheep
04:31To cows
04:32Creating a whole new breed
04:34Of longhorn cattle
04:35Robert Bakewell's innovations
04:38In the selective breeding
04:39Of animals
04:40Inspired farmers
04:41To crossbreed plants
04:43For higher crop yields
04:44And look for new ways
04:46To modernize farming
04:51And when it came to modernizing farming
04:54Nobody had a greater impact
04:56Than Jethro Tull
04:59No, no
05:00Not that Jethro Tull
05:02The original Jethro Tull
05:05Why?
05:06Because the original Jethro Tull
05:08Was also a rock star
05:09An agricultural rock star
05:12Whose first great hit
05:13Climbed the charts
05:14Over 300 years ago
05:15There he is right now
05:16Back there on the green screen
05:18I mean
05:18Back there on the farm
05:20He inherited from his father
05:21Back when people wore funny hats
05:23And never cut their hair
05:25If he looks a bit out of sorts
05:27It's because Jethro Tull
05:28Does not like what he sees
05:30His farm hands
05:32Are throwing his seeds
05:33Somewhat indiscriminately
05:35Into his freshly furrowed ground
05:37This method of seeding
05:39Is called broadcasting
05:40So called because
05:42The seeds are cast
05:43Onto the ground broadly
05:45With no real concern
05:47Of which ones take root
05:48And which ones do not
05:50In much the same way
05:51Broadcast TV is produced today
05:53It's a time-honored
05:54But incredibly wasteful
05:56And inefficient way to grow food
05:58What an incredibly wasteful
06:00And inefficient way to grow food
06:03Truth be told
06:04Jethro Tull
06:05Is not a farmer by trade
06:07He studied to be a lawyer
06:08He enjoys the finer things in life
06:10And believes fervently
06:12That in most pursuits
06:13There simply has to be a better way
06:15There simply has to be a better way
06:18And of course
06:19There is
06:20He just hasn't figured it out yet
06:22But he will
06:25Back in the 1700s
06:27Farming was so incredibly inefficient
06:29That everybody had to do it
06:32By necessity
06:33It was the only way
06:34We could grow enough food
06:36To feed all of the people
06:37That's what Jethro Tull
06:38Is trying to fix
06:40Carry on
06:55Jethro Tull
06:56Does not yet have a name
06:58For his invention
06:59But he knows what he wants it to do
07:01He wants it to bring
07:02Uniformity
07:03To the planting process
07:05He wants his seeds planted
07:07In a straight line
07:08At equal depths
07:10And in equal distribution
07:12I mean really
07:13How hard can it be?
07:15Carry on
07:31I don't mean to imply
07:32In this montage
07:34That Jethro Tull
07:35Was a big drinker
07:36But
07:36We know he enjoyed his wine
07:38Jethro Tull
07:40Traveled to wineries
07:41Throughout Europe
07:41And noted the cultivation methods
07:44Employed in various vineyards
07:45Where it was common
07:46To hoe the ground
07:47Between the vines
07:48Rather than spreading fertilizer
07:51These trips to European wineries
07:53Would inform
07:54Many of his other beliefs
07:56And inventions
07:56As well as his fondness
07:58For the noble grape
08:01Carry on
08:20And there it is
08:21The invention that'll change everything
08:23He'll call it
08:24The seed drill
08:25I'll call it
08:27The seed drill
08:28And so too
08:29Will the rest of the world
08:31Cheers to you
08:32Jethro Tull
08:43Jethro Tull's
08:44Groundbreaking innovation
08:46Marked the beginning
08:47Of an agricultural revolution
08:49When farmers embraced
08:51The seed drill
08:51And the horse-drawn hoe
08:53They increased their productivity
08:54And crop yields
08:55Tenfold
08:56That drove millions of people
08:58Out of rural areas
09:00And into cities
09:01Where tens of thousands
09:03Were employed in factories
09:04Instead of farmsteads
09:06This shift
09:07From an agrarian society
09:09To an industrial society
09:10Picked up steam
09:11Literally
09:12With the invention
09:13Of the steam engine
09:14People found all sorts
09:16Of clever ways
09:17To attach steam engines
09:18To all sorts of machines
09:19Then there were steamboats
09:22Then there were trains
09:23People and products
09:25Were traveling everywhere
09:26With lightning speed
09:28Productivity exploded exponentially
09:30And people were suddenly working
09:33Like never before
09:34Consumer demand required factories
09:36To remain open around the clock
09:38Which meant night shifts
09:40For thousands of workers
09:42And that brings us
09:43To this guy
09:45Kerosene
09:46Overnight
09:47The demand for kerosene
09:49Went through the roof
09:50Much like your cell phone
09:52Does today
09:52The kerosene lamp
09:54Kept the workday going
09:55Long into the night
09:58Say hi to Robert Chesubro
10:03Or Robert Chesubro
10:06Or Robert Chesubro
10:08How you pronounce his name
10:09Depends entirely on
10:11What internet site
10:12You prefer
10:13As does most of the information
10:15In this program
10:16Take note of his face
10:18However
10:19You'll see it again
10:21Robert's done well
10:22Over the years
10:23Figuring out ways
10:24To clarify kerosene
10:25But he's about to embark
10:27On a whole new adventure
10:28A dermatological adventure
10:30Defined by unexpected
10:32Twists and turns
10:33Including
10:34A random meeting
10:36With this guy
10:41Edwin Drake
10:43Fascinating fella
10:44Used to work for the railroad
10:45Drake started off his career
10:48As a conductor
10:48On the New Haven line
10:50But when he fell ill
10:51The railroad company
10:52Let him go
10:53They did however
10:54Allow him to retain
10:55His privileges
10:56As a railroad conductor
10:58Which included
10:59Free travel
11:00On any railway
11:01Now he's taken his family
11:03On a vacation
11:04All over the country
11:05They've just
11:05Checked in
11:06To this quaint
11:07Little country inn
11:09Somewhere in
11:10Western Pennsylvania
11:11They have no idea
11:12That some other people
11:13Will be checking
11:14Into this inn
11:15As well
11:16In one of those
11:17Delicious historical moments
11:19Of serendipity
11:20We have George Bissell
11:22And John Eveleth
11:24These guys will go on
11:25To start Seneca Oil
11:26The first petroleum company
11:28They're here on business
11:30They don't know
11:31Edwin Drake is here
11:32Edwin Drake doesn't know
11:33That they're here
11:34But in a few moments
11:35They're going to
11:36Sit down and have a chat
11:37A little chat
11:38That changes everything
11:41Looking back
11:42It's one of those moments
11:43In history
11:44That almost feels
11:45Like it was
11:45Destined
11:46But it wasn't
11:48This little
11:49Serendipitous meeting
11:50Was entirely
11:51Accidental
11:52These two guys
11:53Bissell and Eveleth
11:55They have no idea
11:56Their company's
11:57Going to be worth
11:58A fortune
11:59Because they don't even
12:00Know the value
12:00Of petroleum
12:01All they know
12:02Is they found
12:03A puddle of the stuff
12:04In Titusville
12:05And discovered
12:06That it would burn
12:07In a lamp
12:07Just like whale oil
12:09Well Edwin Drake
12:11Understands the implications
12:12Of that
12:13In fact
12:13He's thinking to himself
12:14Right now
12:15Wait a minute
12:15What if we take
12:16The power of a locomotive
12:17A steam engine
12:19And use that power
12:20To drive a pipe
12:21Through the puddle
12:22Down into the bedrock
12:24Itself
12:25The answer to that question
12:26Was something to drink to
12:29Cheers
12:30See
12:40August 29th
12:411859
12:42Titusville
12:43Pennsylvania
12:44It's been four years
12:46Since Drake made his deal
12:47With the boys
12:48At Seneca Oil
12:49Four
12:49Long
12:50Years
12:51And here on the
12:52Oil fields
12:54The mood
12:54Is not good
12:55In fact
12:56A lot of these
12:56Drillers have begun
12:58To refer to him
12:59As Crazy Drake
13:00They know all
13:01Here Crazy Drake
13:02He's right
13:03You moron
13:04They're skeptical
13:05And for good reason
13:06People have thought
13:07About digging for oil
13:09And mining for oil
13:10But nobody
13:11Has ever even
13:12Contemplated the idea
13:14Of drilling
13:15For oil
13:16It's a crazy notion
13:17The question is
13:19Will Drake's
13:20Craziness
13:21Be rewarded
13:24And I think the answer
13:25Is yes
13:26Rewarded over
13:27And over
13:29And over
13:30Again
13:38Good news
13:39For Drake
13:40Good news
13:41For his partners
13:42And
13:43Great news
13:44For the whales
13:45Until now
13:47The oil we need
13:48Comes from the whales
13:50And getting oil
13:52From a whale
13:53Is not like
13:54Getting milk
13:55From a cow
13:56It was more
13:57Like a genocide
13:59Look at this
14:00Even in black and white
14:02It was a bloodbath
14:03Blood and guts
14:04And poking
14:05And ripping
14:05And tearing
14:06And swearing
14:07And yet
14:08Demand was so
14:09Unbelievably high
14:10That the whales
14:11Very nearly went extinct
14:14Whaling was the
14:15Fifth largest industry
14:16In the United States
14:17With 15,000
14:19Right whales
14:19Slaughtered
14:20In the mid-1800s
14:22They called them
14:23Right whales
14:23Because they were
14:24The right whales
14:25To kill
14:26And boy did we
14:27By 1930
14:28Marine biologists
14:30Estimated
14:30There were less
14:31Than a hundred
14:32Right whales
14:32Left in the North Atlantic
14:34Their extinction
14:35Was all
14:36But guaranteed
14:39In other words
14:39The more oil
14:41We got out of the ground
14:42The less oil
14:43We needed from
14:44The whales
14:44Now I'm not saying
14:46That the oil industry
14:47Saved the whales
14:48That would be
14:48Impossibly ironic
14:50What I'm saying is
14:52Actually
14:53I'm saying the oil industry
14:55Saved the whales
14:56From guys like him
14:58Remember Robert Chesaburo
15:00Or Chesabra
15:01Or Chesabru
15:02Well back in Brooklyn
15:04Things aren't going so well
15:05For his lamp oil business
15:07Or big whale
15:08As I like to call it
15:09The ingenious process
15:11Of extracting petroleum
15:13From the ground
15:13Using a steam engine
15:15Powered drill
15:16Completely redefined
15:17The business of oil exploration
15:19And now
15:20Everything that Chesaburo
15:22Or Chesabra
15:23Or Chesabru
15:24Worked for
15:24Is going up in flames
15:26His life's work
15:27Is about to become
15:28A historical footnote
15:30It's all over
15:34Until it isn't
15:36Chesaburo
15:37Or Chesabra
15:38Or Chesabru
15:39Gets a wild hare
15:40And hops on a train
15:42To Pennsylvania
15:43To see for himself
15:44Precisely what this
15:46Drake fellow
15:46Has done
15:47I mean seriously
15:48Who is this guy
15:50That question
15:51Runs through Robert's mind
15:52Like a steam
15:53Powered locomotive
15:54How is it
15:55That Edwin Drake
15:56A former train conductor
15:58Who knew nothing
15:59About chemistry
16:00Or geology
16:01Or internal combustion
16:02Could put him
16:03Out of business
16:04Surely
16:04A man of science
16:06Like Chesabro
16:07Or Chesabra
16:08Or Chesabru
16:09Could improve
16:10Upon the process
16:12When he heard
16:13They struck oil
16:14Here in Titusville
16:15He spent his life savings
16:16To come here
16:17Because Robert Chesabro
16:18Knows the world
16:19Is about to change
16:20The question is
16:22How can he
16:23Profit from it
16:24Will he devise
16:26A new and exciting way
16:27To get the oil
16:28Out of the ground
16:29No
16:29Will he find a better way
16:30To sell the oil
16:31On the open market
16:32No
16:33Chesabro
16:34Like so many other geniuses
16:35Before him
16:36Figures out
16:37That there's money
16:37To be made
16:38In the byproduct
16:40In this case
16:41A byproduct
16:42Called Rod Wax
16:45Over time
16:46These will get larger
16:49Rod Wax
16:50Is a disgusting
16:51Scummy byproduct
16:52That clogs up
16:53The drills
16:54That Drake
16:54Has been using
16:55The workers
16:56However
16:56Have found a clever
16:57Use for the junk
16:58Applying it
16:59To their chapped lips
17:00Dry skin
17:01And calloused hands
17:02Full disclosure
17:04None of these actors
17:05Have calloused hands
17:07Which is why
17:08We're playing it wide
17:09For the most part
17:09See look at that close up
17:11That guy
17:12Hadn't worked a day
17:13In his life
17:14Moving on
17:21Robert realized
17:22That Rod Wax
17:24Might be good
17:25For something
17:25Besides waxing your rod
17:27And so he filed a patent
17:30Found it online
17:31It reads
17:32Be it known
17:32That I
17:33Robert A. Chesabro
17:34Of the city, county
17:35And state of New York
17:36Have invented
17:36A new and useful product
17:38From petroleum
17:39Which I have named
17:41You know the name
17:42He went with
17:43The german word
17:44For water
17:44And the greek word
17:45For oil
17:47Vaseline
17:48Not only will it
17:49Keep your lips
17:50Smooth and soft
17:51As you'll see
17:52In the next act
17:53Just might save your life
17:56Today
17:57We're looking at
17:58The ways
17:58Sheep
17:59Can do your taxes
18:01How?
18:02Well it starts
18:03With Robert Bakewell
18:04Inbreeding sheep
18:05For plumper meat
18:06Which caused
18:06The agricultural
18:07And then the industrial
18:08Revolution
18:09Which increased demand
18:10For oil
18:10Which in turn
18:11Led to the advent
18:12Of vaseline
18:13Which is great
18:13For calloused hands
18:14And a host
18:15Of other uses
18:16Nowadays
18:16I think it's safe
18:17To say a pharmacy
18:18Is a pretty
18:19Boring place
18:20They all look
18:21Pretty much the same
18:51Back in 1874
18:52He's all over the country
18:54Extolling the virtues
18:56Of his magical elixir
18:58To a very skeptical group
19:00Pharmacists
19:02These pharmacists
19:03Have seen everything
19:04They've heard it all before
19:05So by and large
19:06They're not going to say yes
19:08To a product
19:09They can't even get
19:10Out of the jar
19:40But Chesburro
19:42And he takes his index finger
19:45And he sticks it inside
19:46And he eats it
19:50Don't try that at home either
19:51But that's what he did
19:53To sell his product
19:55When a man eats his product
19:56Right before your wondering eyes
19:58You have no choice
19:59But to take all you can get
20:00I'll take all I can get
20:02And that's the way it was
20:03Back in 1874
20:05Chesburro
20:06Or Chesabra
20:07Or Chesabru
20:08Sold 1400 jars
20:09Of Vaseline every day
20:11He built a multi-billion dollar brand
20:13And today
20:14If you google
20:15Vaseline uses
20:17You will see
20:18An endless list
20:20Of possibilities
20:21However
20:22When it comes to creative
20:23Things to do
20:25With Vaseline
20:27Nobody
20:28Went further
20:29Than this guy
20:31You kind of have to see it
20:33To believe it
20:42It's 1927
20:43We're in Belgium
20:44Specifically
20:45In Brussels
20:46At the 5th Solvay conference
20:48On electrons and protons
20:50Might not sound like a must-see event
20:53But it was a very big deal
20:54Which is why
20:55Albert Einstein is here
20:57And Marie Curie is here
20:59And Niels Bohr is here
21:01And Auguste Picard is here
21:02All the big brains
21:03In fact
21:0417 of the attendees
21:05Of this conference
21:06Would go on to win
21:07A Nobel Prize
21:09So
21:09It's just an extraordinary
21:11Gathering of the minds
21:12And a great opportunity
21:13For me
21:14To pull off
21:15A photobomb of the ages
21:21If you were a fly
21:22On the wall of history
21:24Eavesdropping on the conversations
21:26Here in Brussels
21:27You would no doubt
21:28You would no doubt leave
21:29The most intelligent fly
21:30In the history of the universe
21:31Because what's being discussed
21:33Is mind-blowing
21:34Right here on the corner
21:35For instance
21:35Einstein and Picard
21:37Are having a fascinating conversation
21:38Einstein is discussing
21:40His general theory of relativity
21:42And Picard has just suggested
21:43That he can help improve that theory
21:45If he can only
21:46Get up into the stratosphere
21:48Somehow
21:49And conduct research
21:50On cosmic rays
21:52Einstein's buying it
21:54Picard wondered
21:55If cosmic rays
21:56Could be used
21:57As a power source
21:58To rival petroleum
22:00This is one of the first attempts
22:02To harness
22:03And understand
22:04Solar energy
22:05Now flying into the stratosphere
22:08Was a tall order
22:09It starts about six miles
22:11Above the planet
22:12So Picard
22:14Would need to invent
22:15An air-pressurized cabin
22:16To get there
22:17And so
22:18He did exactly that
22:20Auguste created
22:21The first
22:22Pressurized airborne cabin
22:25To ever be attached
22:26To a balloon
22:26After a few failed attempts
22:29Due to weather
22:29Auguste and his assistant
22:31Paul Kipfer
22:32Were ready to go
22:37Pardon me just a second
22:38It's a big day
22:39May 27, 1931
22:42One of the craziest
22:43Balloon launches
22:44In the history of the world
22:45Is about to happen right now
22:46In that cabin
22:47Is Auguste Picard
22:48And his assistant
22:49Paul Kipfer
22:50They have no idea
22:51What's about to happen
22:52To them
22:53It's a blustery day
22:54And some damage
22:55Has been sustained
22:56In the cabin
22:57Neither man knows about it
22:58Plus their crew
22:59Didn't count them down
23:00They just let go
23:01Of the ropes
23:01And suddenly
23:02These two guys
23:03Are rising toward the heavens
23:04Toward God only knows
23:06What
23:08It was an adventure
23:10Best recreated here
23:11With the assistance of puppets
23:16Picard and Kipfer
23:17Rise over 51,000 feet
23:19In the air
23:19To study cosmic rays
23:21Astonishing
23:22But there was a hole
23:23In their plan
23:24In the form of a physical hole
23:26In their cabin
23:27Their supply of oxygen
23:28Is leaking out
23:29And if they don't act quickly
23:30They'll suffocate
23:31But nine miles up in the sky
23:34Is not the ideal place
23:35To find a hardware store
23:36Fortunately
23:37Picard was packing
23:38A magical elixir
23:40That was perfect
23:41For this particular predicament
23:42It was made of towel
23:44A fibrous material
23:45And you guessed it
23:47Vaseline
23:48Picard applied it to the leak
23:50And saved the day
23:51The Vaseline mixture
23:52Kept the cabin pressure
23:54And oxygen level stable
23:55We knew Vaseline
23:57Was versatile
23:57And delicious
23:58But this was something else
24:01These men are alive
24:02For two reasons
24:03Quick thinking
24:04And Vaseline
24:05But not only
24:06Does the Vaseline
24:07Save their life
24:08It allows them
24:09To become
24:09The first two men
24:11To ever see
24:11The curvature
24:12Of the earth
24:14In less than half an hour
24:15They rise
24:1651,000 feet
24:18That's nine miles
24:19That would have been incredible
24:20It would have also
24:22Been terrifying
24:22Because these guys
24:23Are literally trapped
24:24In their cabin
24:25Miles above the earth
24:26With no way to land
24:27Their instruments
24:28Are breaking
24:29And their oxygen levels
24:30Are running low
24:31They're at the mercy
24:32Of the elements
24:33Fortunately
24:33The elements
24:34Were merciful
24:36The cooler air
24:37Contracted the balloon's gas
24:39And they crash-landed
24:40In the Alps
24:43A team of skiers
24:45Rescued Picard
24:46And Kipfer
24:47Along with that
24:47Incredible jar
24:48Of Vaseline
24:49That saved the day
25:06Picard also influenced
25:07This man
25:12His friends called him
25:13R.E.P. for short
25:16And for those of you
25:17Who don't speak French
25:18R.E.P. is a little peeved
25:20By the news
25:20Of Auguste Picard's
25:21First successful flight
25:23To study the atmosphere
25:25Because when it comes
25:26To air travel
25:27Robert has a bit
25:28Of a chip
25:29On his shoulder
25:29C'est what?
25:45N'est pas
25:46Here he is
25:47In 1903
25:48A young man
25:49Dreaming of flight
25:50When he hears
25:51That Orville
25:52And Wilbur Wright
25:53Just beat him to it
25:54Personne peut voler
25:56D'une d'une de sable
25:57No, no
25:58Not the radio
25:58Not the
25:59Man hates radios
26:01That inspired
26:02R.E.P.
26:03To get to work
26:04On his own version
26:05Of a flying machine
26:06Which he cleverly named
26:08The R.E.P.
26:10Monoplane
26:11The name
26:12Didn't take off
26:13But the plane did
26:14Briefly
26:15Got about half a mile
26:18Before he crashed
26:19So were the Wright brothers
26:20Listening when
26:21R.E.P.
26:22Wrecked his plane
26:23I like to think so
26:24His flight was viewed
26:25As unsuccessful
26:26But his plane
26:27Was the first to feature
26:29A joystick control
26:30That's still used
26:31In planes today
26:32R.E.P.
26:33Vowed never to fly
26:34A plane again
26:36But he didn't lose
26:37His interest in flight
26:38More specifically
26:40In space flight
26:44There you go
26:45Happy
26:46Merci
26:54In 1912
26:55R.E.P.
26:56Gives a lecture
26:57To a room full
26:58Full of esteemed
26:59Aeronautical scientists
27:00On the subject
27:01Of space flight
27:02He presents
27:04Mathematical equations
27:05For exactly
27:06How much fuel
27:07It would take
27:08For a rocket
27:09To leave
27:10The Earth's atmosphere
27:11And how much
27:12It would take
27:13To get to the moon
27:14Remember
27:15This is 1912
27:17And R.E.P.
27:18Has drawn up
27:19Schematics
27:20For a passive
27:21Energy spaceship
27:23When the pressurized
27:25Cabin is cold
27:26He explained
27:27The spaceship
27:28Will turn
27:29Its metallic side
27:30To the sun
27:31And when it needs
27:32To cool down
27:33The ship
27:33Can turn over
27:34On its darker side
27:36R.E.P.
27:38Is practically
27:39Laughed out of the room
27:40He doesn't gain
27:41Any attention
27:42From the scientific
27:43Community
27:43But he does
27:44Land a pretty
27:45Sweet job
27:46Designing rockets
27:47For the French
27:48Military
27:49With money to burn
27:50R.E.P.
27:51Sets out
27:52To design
27:52A rocket
27:53Propelled by
27:53Gasoline
27:54And liquid oxygen
27:56I ask you
27:57What could
27:58Possibly go wrong
27:59Back to where
28:01We began
28:01In 1931
28:03It's taken
28:04R.E.P.
28:05Three years
28:05Of careful
28:06Experimentation
28:09And approximately
28:11Four fingers
28:16But blowing off
28:17Most of his hand
28:18Doesn't stop him
28:19R.E.P.
28:20Perfects
28:21His liquid oxygen
28:22To gasoline
28:22Ratio
28:23And successfully
28:24Launches a rocket
28:26Later that year
28:27But once again
28:28No one seems to notice
28:30Today the New York Yankees
28:32Beat the Chicago Cubs
28:33In a world series
28:35Except for this guy
28:37Arthur C. Clark
28:39But he's not a rocket scientist
28:41Or an astrophysicist
28:42Or thrower of perfectly good radios
28:46He's a sci-fi nerd
28:48Maybe the greatest sci-fi nerd of all time
28:50He wrote the Sentinel
28:51He co-wrote the screenplay for 2001
28:55The Space Odyssey with Stanley Kubrick
28:57He not only believed that mankind would travel through space
29:01He believed we'd live in a world beyond this one
29:05Now this is a situation where art imitates life that imitates art
29:09Just like the Star Trek flip phone that influenced Motorola
29:13Or that guy who built the flying Iron Man suit
29:16Scientists were influenced by a work of fiction in 1945
29:21When Arthur C. Clark penned an essay for Wireless World magazine
29:27Clark proposed in that essay
29:29That a worldwide communication system
29:32For telephones and televisions
29:34Could be achieved by using three geostationary satellites orbiting Earth
29:43The scientists of the world
29:45Listened
29:47And they didn't just get to work
29:49They made things interesting
29:51They put money on it
29:52Now we got ourselves a good old-fashioned space race
29:55The space race best brought to life
29:58With puppets
30:04This is the classic tale of the tortoise and the hare
30:11Comrade Mikhail Tikaravov
30:13Or Russian Bunny Mike, as his friends like to call him
30:15Led a monk's existence and lived only for rockets
30:18He headed up the Russian space program in the 1950s
30:21And was considered by Stalin to be one of Russian's most brilliant minds
30:25That's not true
30:26Stalin actually couldn't stand him or the space program
30:30It wasn't until a year after Stalin's death in 1954
30:33That Russian Bunny Mike was given the go-ahead to officially develop a satellite
30:40And here's our tortoise
30:41John P. Hagen
30:43He's heading up a top-secret program for NASA right now
30:46And he's running a bit behind
30:51You see, the US is spying on Russia's space program
30:54Who is in turn spying back on NASA
30:57We've got spies spying on spies
30:59And everyone is in the know
31:00Russia knows that John P. Hagen's NASA team is way behind
31:04And the US knows that Mikhail Tikaravov's USSR team is way ahead
31:09But they don't seem to care
31:13You see, Mikhail's team had a secret weapon
31:16Back in World War II, Russian troops recovered a secret rocket
31:20That the jury
