The Superconducting Supercollider was set to be the largest particle accelerator in the world, by a long shot. In fact, it would still to this day be the biggest and most powerful. But history had other plans.
This is the story of America's supercollider - the biggest failure in science history.

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.

Tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans costs the treasury $trillions each and every year. This while there's "no money" to address lead in the drinking water.

From a technology standpoint, we still live in the shadow of the Cold War. At the tail end we were working some truly exotic stuff that even now would seem futuristic. Delta Clipper, The National Space Plane (SSTO) railguns, partical beam weapons, space manufacting, Radio Frequency weapons, thought controlled machine interface, Astrolite G etc...

I've always been interested in the SSC and remember laughing about the LHC finally coming on line. It became quickly apparent that the stopping of the SSC set the USA back decades and one can only play a guessing game at imagining how much further our understanding of our universe would've progressed. Still, Ross Perot could've contributed a fair chunk of change towards it on a personal level, and I guess there's nothing stopping a bunch of rich pricks getting together and building their own super-duper-super-collider. PS: Joe, I'd be super keen to see more on this and other interesting things. Whether science and engineering or travelogues, yep, I'm in.

So if Joe (who I totally respect) was referencing some other event using the term "split the atom" was incorrect.

​@@GroovaPalooza Your not understanding what I am saying (or don't want to). This is about terminology and history. No matter how scientific you get Ernest Rutherford still "split the atom". Until a panel of "experts" specifically say "Ernest Rutherford crushed the atom" he still split it because that's what the history books still say today.

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.

The need to maintain a scientific edge meant pleanty of funding. Post-Cold War the primary drivers were International Cooperation and Corporatism. International Cooperation was used as an excuse to cut science funding (Cost sharing) and Corporations were with few exceptions, only interested in applied sciences. I have some hope that the coming arms race might usher in a renaissance in science funding. Hopefully we can avoid war like the last time around.

1:24 - To be fair, *all* of the allied powers are responsible for defeating the Nazis, but if you're going to point to the country that did the most, it would obviously have to be the Russians. America was late to enter the war and the vast majority of the fighting was on the Russian front. "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/
