Konstanty Ciolkowski was not a Russian, please check biography.

@@senamy424 Born: September 17, 1857, Izhevskoe, Russia Died: September 19, 1935, Kaluga, Russia. Perhaps you are referring to his Polish origins (his father was, but his mother was Russian)? I will give you a good example: Amedeo Giannini was the founder of Bank of America, under his tenure the bank became the largest and most powerful bank in the word (it is still pretty powerful even today). Amedeo Giannini's parents were both Italian and the mother left from Italy to the USA when she was pregnant with him. Amedeo is not considered Italian, bu American, and hardly any Italian knows his name. In The U.S.A. he made the cover of Time magazine more than once in his times, being called one of the titans of history. Perhaps we missed something? If we use the same logic, unless I am missing something, then Steve Jobs was really Syrian (his real father was). etc.

Exactly, one of the reasons they got things done 😉

@@wagner9050 indeed it does.

​@@Dronescapes They get magnitudes more done with modern computers.

@@StephanieB67 just a joke, allow me...Yes, they make rendering upon rendering of things that will never be. Jokes aside, you have to admit that they did get things done back then. It took NASa only a few years to put a man on the moon, starting from zero knowledge, and these days we hope it "might" happen in 2025, when it was actually announced when G. Bush was President. I understand that it is also about safety, etc. as we have different standards, but with all the aquired knowledge (and all the computers), you would think that it would take them no time. sometimes I wonder: if we are all potentially connected, billions of people being able to exchange information in an istant, how comes we did not solve problems like cure cancer, stop climate change, invent 10 different clean fuels that are sustainable, figure out how not to pollute water, found alternatives to plastic, or wiped hunger out of the planet? We are all interconnected and we watch TikTok videos all day, people believe in the craziest conspiracies, 30% of millenials are not even sure if the earth round or flat, or that the capital of Italy is France! It does not seem to me that things are progressing at the pace you would have thought the should have. It seems that it takes many more poeple to do what a single person did 30 years ago. It might be that all the computers actually halted "contamination" of ideas, the ability to communicate, and lowered the bar in many ways. Most comments are one line ones, or an emoji. Maybe it also led us to a breakdown in communications.

i Agree great video and avoiding the T'Rexes was hell.

Contrary to the popular myth that they weren't used during the design and development of the X15, SR71 and the XB70 the truth is computers were indeed used for designing all three of those aircraft and many more from that era, that's to say electronic computers and not mechanical one's such as the slide rule which actually is a computer itself, but when it comes to electronic computers yes, they were used in the design and development of all three of those. Even in this day and age computers don't design anything, humans still do all the conceptionalizing and designing, they're simply an aid, one that can crunch number's that without them would take rooms full of people to do the same, but they don't design anything, even the smallest parts are still all conceived and designed by people.

My 6th grade teacher was married to a systems mechanic on the X-15; so, when he came home he shared any exciting stuff with her to tell our class. We were all AF Brats. Our teacher taught a unique 6th grade ciricula of History/people of the Americans; so we learned spanish too; then new kids from other locations would join our class, she asked them to bring something they ate in the foreign country they came from. Always a great friday lunch in our class.

it's fairly easy to talk about it. an x15 was no more likely to use a polar orbit than it was to fly to mars.

Sputnik had been launched 2 years before and was orbiting the earth as the first satellite (the US was quick to realize that the Soviet Union could do the same with a nuclear warhead)...General Doolittle was simply stating, "dominate or be dominated..." the Soviet Union had already taken the first step in the space race. We were just trying to keep up. Some of us remember bomb drills in school. Thanks for the post.

There is an ongoing debate on that. Eric "Winkle" Brown surely thought so, and that's probably why Chuck Yeager did not like him (X-1). It was certainly odd that the M-52 test flight was called off at the last minute, and not long after the X-1 broke the sound barrier. This said, there is no hard evidence that this is what happened.

That's nothing but Browns claims and there's no proof of it whatsoever except for him saying it. If there's anything you can count on in life it's the fact that anything Brown said concerning America is a lie, the fact is that man was a petty jealous little child who wasn't big enough to congratulate anyone else for an accomplishment, so like a jealous little kid he'd stomp his feet, carry on and lie if he had to in an attempt to swing attention back around in his direction when it was someone else's turn to get credit for something they did. I've never heard that man tell the truth concerning anything about America, he's actually claimed to have witnessed Adolf Hitler shaking the hand of Jessie Owen's after winning the gold in the 36 Olympics, the only reason he told that lie is because he knows it's a point of contention about FDR not inviting Owen's to the White House after the Olympics which is a tradition so he claimed Hitler shook Owen's hand just to make FDR look even worse, every historian whose ever covered the subject knows that Hitler left the Berlin arena in a huff after Owen's won, he didn't even stay to the end much less shake Owen's hand afterwards, like we're actually supposed to believe that Adolf Hitler did that anyways, sure thing. Another big whopper of his is the claim that in the 50's US test pilots secretly flew that piece of junk Horten flying wing, and the only reason he cooked up that lie was so he could claim that "It wasn't even flown by a 'proper' test pilot implying that had it been flown by someone presumably of his, cough, caliber, cough, then critical data would have been recovered as opposed to some cowboy just going for a joyride and precious opportunities being lost, that's such an absurd statement it's practically enough to leave someone speechless, first off it's a very well established fact that no one ever flew that disaster in the making, no test pilot in their right mind would have set foot in the cockpit of that thing, anyone who knows the truth behind that hunk of junk beyond all the sensationalism nonsense about it knows it's airframe isn't close to being something that's airworthy, it was changed and modified repeatedly when the Hortens were working on it and the workmanship isn't even close to anything that could be considered aircraft grade, test pilots in that era had degrees in engineering and anyone with that high of a level of education would take one look at something like that and refuse to have anything to do with flying it until it was completely reworked, and also to think that they flew it in the 50's yet it was something that to this day remains so classified that they still won't admit it is absurd, yea right, it was that classified yet they let a television production crew from The Discovery Channel crawl all over the thing, right, that's all believable. Which brings us to his lie about this aircraft, the X15, according to him he put in to fly it and met all the qualifications and the only reason they didn't let him is because he wasn't a US citizen, HA!!! That's laughable, first off that being the case they'd never have wasted anyone's time putting him through all the tests and everything else he claims he passed, why would they even bothered to in the first place? They wouldn't have, the fact is he never applied to fly it nor was he ever even considered to fly it, he didn't have anywhere near the engineering background to get into something like that, like the astronauts the people who flew the X15 either had PHD's or enough education that they were just a few steps away from having one. Sure that aircraft the RAF built would have been the first to break the sound barrier, but if someone can't swallow the cold hard fact that their own government pulled the plug on the project because half their country was still blown up and needed rebuilt instead of spending money on projects that at the end of the day were nothing but bragging rights for some then they need to get their priorities straightned out, as if people were still supposed to be without jobs and practically homeless walking through piles of rubble to get to work every day just so others could go around thumping on their chests the rest of their lives, big deal about whoever broke the sound barrier first, something like that isn't nearly as important as the people being taken care of first, especially people who'd been through so much those past years of their life, it was their turn to have their government spend some money on them instead of funding some people's egos.

@@Dronescapes There is no ongoing debate. The history is well documented. The X-1 aircraft was a British design, and the rocket engine was German. As for Yeager, if what you say is true, he was somewhat confused. Why risk a life for a record that's been taken? Britain, of course, eventually broke the sound barrier, in its own good time. It was the first to power a jet aircraft to 1000 miles per hour. That's jet engine, not rocket engine.

​@@francocarrieri1988Obsessed and seething lmao, cry more yuropoor

@@francocarrieri1988 Yes, you are correct. There is indeed no debate, because it is bunk. To say that the X-1 was a British design is most definitely bunk. If it were a British design, please show us where the British ever flew an aircraft that looked like thew X-1. The X-1 was designed by Bell aircraft in the United States. If you wish to believe otherwise, that is certainly your prerogative. The rest of us will gone on with our lives and ignore conspiracy theories.

I think that was the SR-71

Ad Inexplorata!

😎😯

@@Istandby666 Interesting. By the way, we got offered a lot of SR-71 titanium parts from crashes, but we could never verify if they were legit

There was never anything about the X15 that was classified, that's like thinking that the speed of the Saturn V rocket was actually faster than what they told everyone because the CIA keeps it's true speed classified. Like the Saturn V the X15 was never a military program, it was nothing more than a research aircraft paid for with US tax dollars and as such NASA, who owned and controlled it, was always showing off what it did for the sake of showing the public where their money was going, they even used to parade around X15's showing them to the public, and everytime one of them flew they immediately made very public the speed and altitude it flew at. I don't know where you ever got the idea that the CIA had anything to do with the X15 or that anything about it was top secret but you couldn't be more wrong, the program was something that from day one was open to the public with all the information about it's flights made public as they happened, it wasn't a top secret program and the CIA had absolutely nothing to do with it.

The name means "Silver Bird", and it was going to be Hitler's means to bomb the U.S. in many ways, it was the original boost-glide vehicle. It was too far ahead of it's time, though, and the tech didn't exist to actually build it...

He did in France, but your right about the end. And yet it’s the same people who are behind so much of what’s going on today- ie Ratschild debt slavery central banking-Kssngr&Assc. Not that I think he wasn’t involved with transmitting the OBO for Citadel, as Ghelen and Canaris claimed they traced the signal to the Eagle’s Nest and were about to arrest Bormann; but Hitler said “everything he did, he did under my direct orders”. Not that I’d trust them, yet his sabotage of the Wehrmacht makes me believe it. Cheers

They were trying to achieve a bomb to and they couldn't accomplish that could they? Everytime someone mentions something about some Nazi dream weapon everyone assumes they thought of it first, hardly the case if you look into it concerning anything like that be it jet aircraft, rockets or anything else. As an example the true pioneer of rocketry was an American named Dr Robert Goddard whose experiments and first rocket flights went back to the 1920's, not Werner Von Braun as most people think, Von Braun himself admitted after the war that without access to Dr Goddard's research he'd never have gotten a rocket off the ground before the end of the war, Goddard developed the first liquid fueled rocket engines that could be throttled and were mounted on gimbals for direction control both things necessary for space flight, along with the turbo pumps necessary to feed liquid fuels in huge amounts to large rocket engines, likewise in Russia there were pioneers in rocketry before WW2 but like Goddard didn't have huge government backing and the funds needed to develop them, wherein Von Braun not only had the advantage of access to Goddard's research he also had a government that because they wanted it turned into a weapon threw a bottomless pit of money and resources at him to accelerate his program. That's the case with just about everything people think the Germans "invented" or thought of first, the fact is years before they did any of that there were always people who laid down the foundations necessary for their ideas but like Goddard they were in countries that were in the throws of a depression and in the era of post WW1 politics where governments couldn't justify spending endless amounts of money on military projects when those same politicians who were in power had all run on promises after WW1 that they wouldn't spend money like that on military forces they were supposed to be downsizing as per their campaign promises, and then even worse in the middle of an economic depression that had people standing in bread lines. Hitler on the other hand threw all his country's money into programs like that until it led to Germany being bankrupt in the late 30's so to prop things up he started "annexing" other countries to seize the gold they had in their banking reserves to keep things going. At the end of the day it's a sad fact that it took wars for government's to pump that kind of money into scientific research and development, but that's the reality of it, the first one's who want to turn something into a weapon are the first one's to fund their development. I'm sure the first spear was developed for the same reason.

Actually they focused on weapons that were too advanced for the times. They should have focused more on producing a higher quantity of weapon designs that had already proven themselves.

@@kinte1870 Oh I'm not gonna argue about weapons allocations, that is an undeniable fact, too many firms were used to make too many weapons types AND alot of the time they were made to completely compete against and never co-develop with each other. I was just speaking on they were looking very far ahead. Eric Brown has stated on numerous occasions that with what he saw right after the war ended he had no doubt that if the war had continued the Germans would have been the first to supersonic flight. They had the 5 most advanced wind tunnels in the entire world at the end of the war. The one that was removed from Peenemünde could get it's air column up to something like Mach 4.5.

Well, the speed of sound changes with altitude. So mach 6.7 at sea level is not the same as mach 6.7 at 354000 feet

@@arlandaplanespotting Yes, Mach 6.70 is 4,520 mph at 102,000 feet, which is the altitude that Pete Knight flew on 3 October 1967. As for any Mach number at 354,200 feet, that is actually irrelevant since it is outside the atmosphere, and Mach is only a speed when related to flight through air.

That's a myth, electronic computers were used in the design and development of not only the X15 but also the A12/SR71 and the XB70 despite the common myth that they weren't. Another myth is that today's aircraft are designed by computers, no they're not, it's not like someone enters into a computer "Design a better spy plane than the SR71" and POOF, the plans for an SR72 pop out, even the smallest parts on today's aircraft are all conceptionalized and designed by human beings, really the only thing that designers have nowadays when it comes to computers is CAD which all it does is allow the designer to draw the part in 3D on a computer instead of having to draw it in 3 different views on a blueprint, that's all, but it's still a human who thinks up the part and designs it, and instead of having to wait their turn to use a computer that takes up an entire room so they can have it crunch number's for them nowadays each engineer has his own computer sitting on his desk that can do it. But one way or the other no matter what it's still human beings that come up with all the ideas then sit down and do the actual designing, the people back then weren't any smarter than the people nowadays who design the latest aircraft, they just don't chase speed records nowadays because thing's like stealth, electronic countermeasures and precision weapons are far more important than making today's jets go faster than yesterday's jets.

Or a rocket powered aircraft?

People were more patriotic and hence back in the 50s, and 60s and wanted USA on moon for prestige and technological advancement. Also the goal of NASA was to get to the moon not international relations and DEI nonsense.

@@HashCracker agreed, but in all fairness, most aviation, and technology companies, etc. use the metric system, even in the USA. Even most doctors use the metric system, because of practicality. Perhaps it is fair to say that the US and Britain use a mixed system, at least to a degree, and mostly in the professional world, very much like the voltage, which is 110 volts, but in the kitchen and for the dryer, most homes in the US have a hidden 240 voltage, which is a bit odd if you think about it :)
