As the world closed in on the Third Reich in the final chapter of World War Two, a desperate Adolf Hitler turned to his so-called 'Revenge Weapons' for salvation; cutting-edge armaments specifically designed to terrorise civilian populations and break their morale. His hope was that breaking the spirit of the Allies would reverse the course of a war that Germany was clearly losing.Joining us is historian Murray Barber, author of 'V2: The A4 Rocket from Peenemünde to Redstone'. Murray tells us all about the most infamous of these weapons, the fearsome V1 and V2 rockets - did they actually have any impact on the course of the war, and how did they shape events later in the 20th century?Produced by James Hickmann and edited by Dougal Patmore.Enjoy unlimited access to award-winning original documentaries that are released weekly and AD-FREE podcasts.

Le 20 septembre 1945, l'ingénieur allemand Werner von Braun, concepteur des fusées V2, arrive aux États-Unis dans le cadre de l'Opération Paperclip, qui a permis entre autres la fuite d'une partie des cerveaux du régime nazi. Avec d'autres anciens ingénieurs responsables des camps de travail forcé et d'extermination de Peenemünde et de Dora, il va intégrer et impulser le programme spatial américain. Irénée Régnauld, chercheur associé à l'université de technologie de Compiègne et Arnaud Saint-Martin, sociologue au CNRS en font un des éléments constitutifs de l'adn de la conquête de l'espace. Dans leur livre "Une histoire de la conquête spatiale. Des fusées nazies aux astrocapitalistes de New Space" (La Fabrique), ils déconstruisent les mythes très Disney du voyage de la Terre à la Lune en attendant Mars. Ils remontent aux origines philosophiques et industrielles de cette entreprise, terrain de rivalités Est-Ouest, nourrie d'une vision du monde et de l'humanité aux nombreux accents mystiques. Dans une formidable analyse des enjeux, ils détaillent comment s'est construite la représentation d'une conquête de l'espace consubstantielle à la condition humaine; combien cette narration occupe encore les projets du New Space D'Elon Musk ou Jeff Bezos, et occulte aujourd'hui encore d'autres rapports possibles au cosmos.

In diesem Jahr widmet sich das Usedomer Musikfestival in seiner 30. Festivalsaison mit einem Schwerpunkt der lettischen Musik vom Mittelalter bis zum Jazz. Prominente Gäste sind nach Usedom geladen: Die lettische Starsopranistin Marina Rebeka oder der international gefeierte Wagner-Sänger Egils Siliņš. Junge lettische Künstler wie der Pianist Georgijs Osokins oder die Cellistin Magdalena Ceple zeigen, wie virtuos und gegenwärtig die Musik der baltischen Republik heute ist. Das Baltic Sea Philharmonic und das NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester eröffnen und beschließen die Saison in Peenemünde. Über das Programm, die Kunst, die Spielorte an der Ostsee spricht der Intendant des Usedomer Musikfestivals in "NDR Kultur à la carte" Thomas Hummel.

Verlassen wir nun auf unser kleinen Mecklenburg-Vorpommern-Tour Mecklenburg und begeben uns nach Vorpommern: Hoch im Norden an der Peenemündung, gegenüber von Usedom, liegt das Fischerdorf Freest. Die größten Attraktionen dort sind der schnuckelige Hafen, ein Heimatmuseum und ein Pizzaautomat. Doch hinter den Fenstern der Einheimischen spielt sich so manche Geschichte ab. Eine davon könnt ihr nun exklusiv bei Limerix hören!

Die Kolumne: Wann, wenn nicht jetzt? - Fachkräftemangel als Problem der Unternehmen und Machtpotential der Beschäftigten Der Fachkräftemangel begleitet uns gefühlt seit 30 Jahren. Als ständige Leier des Unternehmerlagers. Früher hielten wir das Gerede davon für reine Propaganda und Augenwischerei — ein Blick auf die Arbeitslosenzahlen genügte. So einfach ist das heute nicht mehr abzutun. Neulich durfte ich als Referent an einem Betriebsrätetreffen in Ostdeutschland teilnehmen. Die meisten Betriebsratsmitglieder nannten den Fachkräftemangel als ihr Hauptproblem. Daher verdient das Phänomen wohl besondere Beachtung.

Sven Brümmel aus Heringsdorf ist Lehrer und nach langer Recherche hat er Briefe gefunden, die Soldaten aus Pommern und Vorpommern auf Plattdeutsch nach Hause geschrieben haben - von den Schlachtfeldern, den Lazaretten des 1. Weltkriegs. Er sagt: das Plattdeutsche ist weniger zensiert worden - klarer ist die Sprache, wenn es um Leid und Tod geht, Patriotismus und Schlachtgesänge gibt es in diesen Texten kaum. Diese Briefe liest er vor - im Rahmen der Plattdeutschen Wochen - ordnet das historische Geschehen ein und liefert seinen Hörern Hintergründe. Aber: er macht auch Führungen im Museum in Peenemünde und kümmert sich an seiner Schule darum, dass Kinder Plattdeutsch lernen. Heike Mayer trifft den umtriebigen Mann - in Heringsdorf und in Peenemünde.

Labor für todbringende Waffen und Wiege der Raumfahrt: In der Heeresversuchsanstalt auf Usedom produzierten die Nazis die ersten Raketen. Was als "Vergeltungswaffen" begann, brachte später Menschen ins All. Ein Besuch am ambivalentesten deutschen Erinnerungsort und in der Stadt, die am meisten unter den Terror-Waffen zu leiden hatte.

Quand des militaires ou des responsables des services secrets veulent soutirer des informations à leurs ennemis, en temps de guerre, ils ont souvent recours à des méthodes énergiques. La torture est parfois même employée, de manière ouverte ou dissimulée. Mais, durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, les Anglais ont eu recours, parfois, à des techniques diamétralement opposées. Ces méthodes plus douces furent notamment en vigueur au château de Trent Park. Situé au nord de Londres, ce vaste édifice, construit à la fin du Moyen-Âge, fut, à partir des années 1910, le cadre de somptueuses réceptions. Durant le second conflit mondial, le château abrite des officiers supérieurs allemands, et notamment des généraux, capturés par les Alliés. On estime que Trent Park a vu passer plus de 80 généraux allemands. Une méthode peu contraignante Les officiers allemands sont d'abord logés dans les chambres du château de Trent Park. Puis le lieu se transforme peu à peu en centre de détention destiné aux officiers supérieurs prisonniers. Mais il ne s'agit nullement d'un goulag. Au contraire, les prisonniers sont traités avec beaucoup d'égards. Ils sont confortablement installés et peuvent se promener à leur guise dans le parc du château. Ils ont même droit à des rations spéciales de whisky. Le but est de les mettre à l'aise et de désarmer leur méfiance. Les Anglais pensent que ces généraux, amollis par leur séjour dans cette prison dorée, ne manqueront pas de se livrer à d'intéressantes confidences. Et leurs geôliers n'en perdront pas une miette. En effet, les murs des chambres sont garnis de micros. Et, de fait, les Alliés recueilleront ainsi des informations très précieuses. Ils en apprendront ainsi davantage sur la base de Peenemünde, où sont fabriquées, dans le plus grand secret, les fusées V1 et V2 qui, dans l'esprit d'Hitler, doivent changer le cours de la guerre. D'autres renseignements, sur les crimes de guerre commis par les Allemands ou la résistance qui s'organise face au Führer, sont encore recueillis par cet ingénieux moyen. Au total, plus de 1.300 procès-verbaux ont été rédigés à partir de ces enregistrements. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I Peenemünde vid Östersjöns kust tillverkade Hitlerregimen ohyggliga raketer. I dag är fabriken museum över ondskan. I maj 2022 gästades platsen av New York Philharmonic med världsartister. Peenemünde ligger på ön Usedom i norra Tyskland, 16 mil rakt söder om Simrishamn. I maj hölls en unik festival, en manifestation för fred, i öns gamla vapenfabrik, som efter järnridåns fall gjordes om till ett museum.En av de drivande var världsdirigenten Kurt Masur, som själv spelade en avgörande roll när Tyskland återförenades utan våld. Kurt Masur blev en hjälte, en institution, och många ville se honom som politiker men han valde musiken. Han ledde sedan en av världens mest ansedda orkestrar, New York Philharmonic i många år, men glömde aldrig Usedom.Kurt Masurs dröm var att orkestern någon gång skulle spela i Peenemünde. I maj 2022, sju år efter hans död, blev drömmen verklighet. Idel världsartister som Anne Sophie Mutter, Thomas Hampson och Jan Lisiecki spelade en noga vald repertoar tillsammans med den 106 personer starka orkestern.Platsen bär en förskräcklig historia, men musik har kraft att förändra också en fasornas fabrik som orkesterns första violinist Yulia Ziskel, själv med judiskt påbrå, uttrycker det: We really have to change the energy in this place and I think we did.En dokumentär från 2022 av Eva Sjöstrand.

November 1944. Hitler vkladá všetku nádej aj finančné prostriedky Tretej ríše do zbrane, ktorá má zmeniť neúspešný priebeh vojny a poraziť Veľkú Britániu. V tajnej podzemnej továrni väzni vyrábajú súčiastky rakety V2, ktorú vyvinuli vedci vo vojenskom výskumnom stredisku v Peenemünde. Na základni v lesoch, mimo dostrelu spojeneckých lietadiel, pripravuje raketový inžinier Rudi Graf pod prísnym dohľadom SS ničivú strelu na odpálenie. Na druhom brehu Severného mora sa mladá Angličanka Kay Caton-Walshová pripojí k zvláštnemu oddielu britskej rozviedky. Boj s neviditeľným nepriateľom sa začína.

Vladimir cu George despre cum se produce o conspirație și câți oameni au parte? America și Uniunea Sovietică se băteau după cel de-al doilea război mondial care să acapareze mai mulți oameni de știință naziști. Autorizat în septembrie 1946 de președintele Harry Truman, folosit pentru a recruta oameni de știință din Germania nazistă pentru a lucra în Statele Unite în urma celui de al Doilea Război Mondial (1939 -45). Aceștia au primit cetățenia americană sub alte identități. Mai mult de 1500 de savanți, ingineri și tehnicieni au ajuns să lucreze pentru S.U.A, după cel de-al doilea Război Mondial. Programul a fost executat de către Joint Intelligence Objectives Agency (JIOA) și în contextul viitorului Război Rece sovieto-american (1945 - 1991). Majoritatea au fost implicați la fabricarea rachetelor Aggregat, V-1 și V-2 la uzinele din Peenemünde, grup cunoscut sub numele de Wernher Von Braun Group. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/romania/support

Epoken som som inleddes efter andra världskriget kallades för raketåldern. Författaren Mattias Hagberg funderar på det faktum att det där vapnet som gav namn åt en hel epok aldrig oskadliggjordes. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Den 3 oktober 1942 lyckades de tyska ingenjörerna vid militärbasen i Peenemünde bryta igenom atmosfären, ut i den tomma rymden. Med raketen A-4 inledde de ett nytt skede i mänsklighetens historia der Raketenzeit raketåldern.När A-4-raketen två år senare sattes in mot engelsmännen i riktade angrepp på London fick den ett nytt namn. Nazistregimen valde att kalla sitt nya undervapen för Vergeltungswaffe, vedergällningsvapnet, förkortat V-2. De såg i raketens ballistiska bana från uppskjutningsramperna vid Nordsjön till nedslagsplatserna i och kring London en möjlighet, ja, kanske till och med den sista möjligheten, att tvinga de allierade motståndarna att ge upp. Mellan september 1944 och mars 1945 skickade tyskarna över 4000 raketbomber mot London. Men nazitysklands nya undervapen kom inte att definiera andra världskriget, det var helt andra faktorer som avgjorde utgången, som Sovjetunionens nästintill oändliga tillgång på manskap och USA:s nästintill gränslösa tillgång på material. Nej, raketbomben avgjorde inte kriget, men kanske kom den att definiera allting som kom därefter.V-2-raketen står i centrum för Thomas Pynchons väldiga roman "Gravitationens regnbåge" från 1973, en roman som aldrig slutat att fascinera litteraturvetare, kritiker och läsare. Själv har jag gång på gång återvänt till denna överväldigande och motsägelsefulla litterära konstruktion. I romanens labyrintiska uppbyggnad och psykotiska berättarstruktur anar jag, precis som många andra, en bild av vår tid som är mer realistisk än man kan önska."Gravitationens regnbåge" rör sig över Europa under andra världskrigets slutskede, från London, via Monaco, in i zonen, det vill säga in i det sönderfallande Tyskland på gränsen mellan varmt och kallt krig. Romanen är en krigsroman, men inte i någon traditionell bemärkelse. Här finns inga historiska krigsscener, med undantag för några av V-2-bomberna över London, inte heller några stora historiska gestalter; inget Stalingrad eller El Alamein; ingen Hitler eller Churchill; inga frontscener från öst eller interiörer från bunkern i Berlin. Nej, Thomas Pynchons optik är inställd på något helt annat. Med sin roman vill han få syn på krigets struktur, dess underliggande motor, dess essens, om man så vill, och därmed den framtid som åren mellan 1939 och 1945 bar på."Gravitationens regnbåge" är något så ovanligt som en roman utan agens. Här finns ingen huvudperson eller tydlig intrig, inga linjära samband eller något egentligt slut. Snarare tvärtom. Ju längre in i texten som läsaren rör sig, desto otydligare blir alla sammanhang. Det som till en början kan se ut som en tämligen uppsluppen och intrigdriven berättelse om en amerikansk löjtnant stationerad i London, en viss Tyrone Slothrop, visar sig snart vara en enda härva, en nästintill fullständigt kaotisk flod av information. Men, så handlar "Gravitationens regnbåge" inte heller om att berätta en historia utan om att frammana ett tillstånd, och om att skärpa läsarens blick för detta tillstånd."Gravitationens regnbåge" är inget annat än den hittills mest fulländade texten om raketåldern, den tidsålder som Thomas Pynchon så karaktäristiskt beskriver mot romanens slut: "Åh, en Stat börjar ta form i den statslösa tyska natten, en Stat som spänner över oceaner och ytlig politik, lika suverän som Internationalen eller den katolska kyrkan, och med Raketen som sin själ." För Thomas Pynchon är raketåldern inget annat än en global teknokratisk regim.Trots sin oöverskådlighet och trots sin brist på en traditionell narrativ struktur bär Thomas Pynchons roman till syvende och sist på ett tydligt imperativ. Hans text hamrar, genom sin blotta existens, in ett förhållningssätt. Han säger: Skit i politiken, ideologierna och makthavarna, strunta i talen och pamfletterna och gå direkt på tekniken. Raketen är samhällets själ, inte kulturen, klasskampen eller drömmen om frihet. Glöm debatterna, demonstrationerna och upproren, och intressera dig i stället för de elektroniska kretsarna, de kemiska framställningsprocesserna och de militära styrsystemen.I Thomas Pynchons värld handlar det moderna kriget, och därmed det moderna samhället, varken om territorium eller kroppar utan om information om tekniskt kunnande, om förmågan att koppla samman hela samhället till ett väldigt industriellt-komplex, format av de nya vapensystemens behov. I "Gravitationens regnbåge" blir därför överföringen av tysk raketkunskap till USA och Sovjet den viktigaste händelsen under kriget, en händelse som pekar rakt fram mot de kärnvapenbestyckade missilerna, och krigsteknologierna som ett väldigt, svåröverskådligt system vid gränsen för vår fattningsförmåga.I en ofta citerad nyckelpassage beskriver Thomas Pynchon detta förhållande på sitt oefterhärmliga sätt: "Det betyder att det här Kriget aldrig var politiskt alls, att politiken bara var teater, ett sätt att avleda människors tankar i hemlighet styrdes det istället av teknologins krav av en konspiration mellan människor och teknik, av något som behövde krigets energiutbrott, som skrek: 'Åt helvete med pengarna, Nationens liv är i fara', men som egentligen menade: gryningen är nästan här, jag behöver min natts blod, kapital, kapital, kapital, ahh, mer, mer " För Thomas Pynchon handlade de verkliga kriserna om anslag och prioriteringar, men inte ens mellan olika företag det framställdes bara för att se ut på det viset utan mellan de olika teknologierna: Plast, Elektronik, Flygplanstillverkning, och deras behov.I detta fokus på tekniken påminner Thomas Pynchon om den tyske litteraturvetaren och medieteoretikern Friedrich Kittler. Båda är lika besatta av att hitta det moderna samhällets motor i det anonyma militär-industriella-komplexets labyrinter.Friedrich Kittler, som dog 2011, återvände ständigt till "Gravitationens regnbåge". Han läste den närmast som en manual för vår tid, som en dokumentär betraktelse över raketbombens totaliserande effekt, ja, kanske som den enda dokumentärromanen värd sitt namn.Det brukar heta att kalla kriget tog slut 1989, att en annan värld tog sin början när Berlinmuren föll. Men den som läst Thomas Pynchon vet att världen fortfarande är en dyster plats. Politiken och retoriken må ha förändrats, men raketerna är fortfarande kvar. Det enda som har hänt är att de tekniska systemen blivit än mer omfattande, än mer avancerade, än mer autonoma och än mer dödliga. Krigsmaskineriet har inte tagit paus. Tvärtom.Så beskriver Thomas Pynchons roman också en båge, inte bara från uppskjutningsramperna vid Nordsjön till London, utan i tiden, från krigets slut in i romanens samtid och framtid. På romanens sista sida hänger en kärnvapenbestyckad missil rakt ovanför Los Angeles, på väg att utplåna miljonstaden. Där har den blivit hängande. När som helst kan den falla.Mattias Hagberg, författare

Bei manchen Menschen gibt es noch immer einen etwas verklärten Blick auf die frühere Heeresversuchsanstalt in Peenemünde auf der Insel Usedom. Im Dritten Reich wurden dort Raketenwaffen hergestellt – das Aggregat 4 oder, wie es später hieß, die V2-Rakete. Von Dirk Lorenzen www.deutschlandfunk.de, Sternzeit Hören bis: 19.01.2038 04:14 Direkter Link zur Audiodatei

Vor 75 Jahren mussten rund 150 Experten für Raketenwaffen die Reise von Bleicherode am Harz in die Sowjetunion antreten. Im Deutschen Reich hatten sie an der V2-Rakete gearbeitet, die zunächst in Peenemünde auf Usedom gebaut wurde, später im KZ Mittelbau-Dora in Thüringen.

Es ist so weit: Heute bringen wir euch das 100. Thema in der Wikspedition. Damit geht die Staffel mit dem Thema "Peenemünde" zu ende. Dieser kleine Ort wird im zweiten Weltkrieg zum Hauptstandort für die deutsche Raketenforschung. Daraus hervor sollte ein Mann gehen, der nach dem Krieg ein entscheidender Kopf der NASA werden sollte: Wernher von Braun. Viel Spaß, Jan und Cris

Histoire Vivante vous propose une semaine sur l’histoire de Joseph Goebbels et du journal qu’il a tenu de 1923 jusqu’à la fin du IIIe Reich. Une évocation de ce personnage et de ses écrits intimes avec Nicolas Pantin, historien et spécialiste de Goebbels. Dans ce troisième épisode, suite de notre entretien avec Nicolas Patin, historien et maître de Conférence à l'Université Bordeaux-Montaigne. Ses thèmes de recherches sont centrés sur l'Histoire de l'Allemagne de 1914 à 1945, l'histoire des élites politiques, l'histoire du nazisme et de la "Solution finale". Un entretien qui portera notamment sur le sujet de ses recherches sur le journal de Goebbels. Nicolas Patin a rédigé une étude critique de ce journal afin de mieux saisir la complexité de ce texte et les enjeux auxquels le ministre de la propagande nazie était confronté. Cet entretien est illustré par des lectures du journal de Joseph Goebbels.

** Warning. This podcast episode contains descriptions some listeners may find disturbing. Due to the nature of the history involved in the Nazi rocket production and the lives it destroyed, an understanding of the conditions of what those within the camp suffered is necessary so that we do not become complacent to history.** After the air raid on Peenemünde the Nazi regime realises that the allies know something about the program. If the A-4 rocket is to be produced it needs to be produced where the enemies bombs cannot reach and produced in large numbers as to be an effective weapon, for this they created a concentration camp by the name of Dora, this episode is about the conditions and the fate of many of those that were forced to produce Wernher von Braun's rockets.

This chapter covers a wide range of sightings and topics, but focuses on the transition from Grudge to Bluebook. Some topics covered this time around, in no particular order: Edward J. RuppeltEdward J. Ruppelt (July 17, 1923 – September 15, 1960) was a United States Air Force officer probably best known for his involvement in Project Blue Book, a formal governmental study of unidentified flying objects. He is generally credited with coining the term "unidentified flying object", to replace the terms "flying saucer" and "flying disk" - which had become widely known - because the military thought them to be "misleading when applied to objects of every conceivable shape and performance. For this reason the military prefers the more general, if less colorful, name: unidentified flying objects. UFO (pronounced "Yoo-foe") for short."[1]Ruppelt was the director of Project Grudge from late 1951 until it became Project Blue Book in March 1952; he remained with Blue Book until late 1953. UFO researcher Jerome Clark writes, "Most observers of Blue Book agree that the Ruppelt years comprised the project's golden age, when investigations were most capably directed and conducted. Ruppelt was open-minded about UFOs, and his investigators were not known, as Grudge's were, for force-fitting explanations on cases."[ UFOAn unidentified flying object (UFO) is any aerial phenomenon that cannot immediately be identified or explained. Most UFOs are identified on investigation as conventional objects or phenomena. The term is widely used for claimed observations of extraterrestrial spacecraft. Flying SaucerA flying saucer (also referred to as "a flying disc") is a descriptive term for a supposed type of flying craft having a disc or saucer-shaped body, commonly used generically to refer to an anomalous flying object. The term was coined in 1947[1] but has generally been supplanted since 1952 by the United States Air Force term unidentified flying objects (or UFOs for short). Early reported sightings of unknown "flying saucers" usually described them as silver or metallic, sometimes reported as covered with navigation lights or surrounded with a glowing light, hovering or moving rapidly, either alone or in tight formations with other similar craft, and exhibiting high maneuverability. Project BluebookProject Blue Book was one of a series of systematic studies of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) conducted by the United States Air Force (USAF). It started in 1952, the third study of its kind, following projects Sign (1947) and Grudge (1949). A termination order was given for the study in December 1969, and all activity under its auspices officially ceased on January 19th, 1970. Project Blue Book had two goals:To determine if UFOs were a threat to national security, andTo scientifically analyze UFO-related data.Thousands of UFO reports were collected, analyzed, and filed. As a result of the Condon Report (1968), which concluded there was nothing anomalous about UFOs, and a review of the report by the National Academy of Sciences, Project Blue Book was terminated in December 1969. The Air Force supplies the following summary of its investigations:No UFO reported, investigated, and evaluated by the Air Force was ever an indication of threat to our national security;There was no evidence submitted to or discovered by the Air Force that sightings categorized as "unidentified" represented technological developments or principles beyond the range of modern scientific knowledge; andThere was no evidence indicating that sightings categorized as "unidentified" were extraterrestrial vehicles.[1]By the time Project Blue Book ended, it had collected 12,618 UFO reports, and concluded that most of them were misidentifications of natural phenomena (clouds, stars, etc.) or conventional aircraft. According to the National Reconnaissance Office a number of the reports could be explained by flights of the formerly secret reconnaissance planes U-2 and A-12.[2] A small percentage of UFO reports were classified as unexplained, even after stringent analysis. The UFO reports were archived and are available under the Freedom of Information Act, but names and other personal information of all witnesses have been redacted. Project SignProject Sign was an official U.S. government study of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) undertaken by the United States Air Force (USAF) and active for most of 1948. It was the precursor to Project Grudge. Project GrudgeProject Grudge was a short-lived project by the U.S. Air Force (USAF) to investigate unidentified flying objects (UFOs). Grudge succeeded Project Sign in February, 1949, and was then followed by Project Blue Book. The project formally ended in December 1949, but continued in a minimal capacity until late 1951. Mitchel AFBMitchel Air Force Base also known as Mitchel Field, was a United States Air Force base located on the Hempstead Plains of Long Island, New York, United States. Established in 1918 as Hazelhurst Aviation Field #2, the facility was renamed later that year as Mitchel Field in honor of former New York City Mayor John Purroy Mitchel, who was killed while training for the Air Service in Louisiana.Decommissioned in 1961, Mitchel Field became a multi-use complex that is home to the Cradle of Aviation Museum, Nassau Coliseum, Mitchel Athletic Complex, Nassau Community College, Hofstra University, and Lockheed. In 2018 the surviving buildings and facilities were recognized as a historic district and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[ ATICOn May 21, 1951, the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) was established as a USAF field activity of the Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence[2] under the direct command of the Air Materiel Control Department. ATIC analyzed engine parts and the tail section of a Korean War Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 and in July, the center received a complete MiG-15 that had crashed. ATIC also obtained[how?] IL-10 and Yak-9 aircraft in operational condition, and ATIC analysts monitored the flight test program at Kadena Air Base of a MiG-15 flown to Kimpo Air Base in September 1953 by a North Korean defector. ATIC awarded a contract to Battelle Memorial Institute for translation and analysis of materiel and documents gathered during the Korean War. ATIC/Battelle analysis allowed FEAF to develop engagement tactics for F-86 fighters. In 1958 ATIC had a Readix Computer in Building 828, 1 of 6 WPAFB buildings used by the unit prior to the center built in 1976.[2] After Discoverer 29 (launched April 30, 1961) photographed the "first Soviet ICBM offensive launch complex" at Plesetsk;[10]:107 the JCS published Directive 5105.21, "Defense Intelligence Agency", the Defense Intelligence Agency was created on October 1, and USAF intelligence organizations/units were reorganized. RadarRadar is a detection system that uses radio waves to determine the range, angle, or velocity of objects. It can be used to detect aircraft, ships, spacecraft, guided missiles, motor vehicles, weather formations, and terrain. A radar system consists of a transmitter producing electromagnetic waves in the radio or microwaves domain, a transmitting antenna, a receiving antenna (often the same antenna is used for transmitting and receiving) and a receiver and processor to determine properties of the object(s). Radio waves (pulsed or continuous) from the transmitter reflect off the object and return to the receiver, giving information about the object's location and speed.Radar was developed secretly for military use by several nations in the period before and during World War II. A key development was the cavity magnetron in the United Kingdom, which allowed the creation of relatively small systems with sub-meter resolution. The term RADAR was coined in 1940 by the United States Navy as an acronym for "radio detection and ranging".[1][2] The term radar has since entered English and other languages as a common noun, losing all capitalization. During RAF RADAR courses in 1954/5 at Yatesbury Training Camp "radio azimuth direction and ranging" was suggested.[citation needed] The modern uses of radar are highly diverse, including air and terrestrial traffic control, radar astronomy, air-defense systems, antimissile systems, marine radars to locate landmarks and other ships, aircraft anticollision systems, ocean surveillance systems, outer space surveillance and rendezvous systems, meteorological precipitation monitoring, altimetry and flight control systems, guided missile target locating systems, self-driving cars, and ground-penetrating radar for geological observations. High tech radar systems are associated with digital signal processing, machine learning and are capable of extracting useful information from very high noise levels.Other systems similar to radar make use of other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. One example is LIDAR, which uses predominantly infrared light from lasers rather than radio waves. With the emergence of driverless vehicles, radar is expected to assist the automated platform to monitor its environment, thus preventing unwanted incidents. B-50The Boeing B-50 Superfortress is an American strategic bomber. A post–World War II revision of the Boeing B-29 Superfortress, it was fitted with more powerful Pratt & Whitney R-4360 radial engines, stronger structure, a taller tail fin, and other improvements. It was the last piston-engined bomber built by Boeing for the United States Air Force, and was further refined into Boeing's final such design, the B-54. Not as well known as its direct predecessor, the B-50 was in USAF service for nearly 20 years.After its primary service with Strategic Air Command (SAC) ended, B-50 airframes were modified into aerial tankers for Tactical Air Command (TAC) (KB-50) and as weather reconnaissance aircraft (WB-50) for the Air Weather Service. Both the tanker and hurricane hunter versions were retired in March 1965 due to metal fatigue and corrosion found in the wreckage of KB-50J, 48-065, which crashed on 14 October 1964. F-94The Lockheed F-94 Starfire was a first-generation jet aircraft of the United States Air Force. It was developed from the twin-seat Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star in the late 1940s as an all-weather, day/night interceptor. The aircraft reached operational service in May 1950 with Air Defense Command, replacing the piston-engined North American F-82 Twin Mustang in the all-weather interceptor role.The F-94 was the first operational USAF fighter equipped with an afterburner and was the first jet-powered all-weather fighter to enter combat during the Korean War in January 1953. It had a relatively brief operational life, being replaced in the mid-1950s by the Northrop F-89 Scorpion and North American F-86D Sabre. The last aircraft left active-duty service in 1958 and Air National Guard service in 1959. F-82The North American F-82 Twin Mustang is the last American piston-engine fighter ordered into production by the United States Air Force. Based on the P-51 Mustang, the F-82 was originally designed as a long-range escort fighter in World War II. The war ended well before the first production units were operational.In the postwar era, Strategic Air Command used the planes as a long-range escort fighter. Radar-equipped F-82s were used extensively by the Air Defense Command as replacements for the Northrop P-61 Black Widow as all-weather day/night interceptors. During the Korean War, Japan-based F-82s were among the first USAF aircraft to operate over Korea. The first three North Korean aircraft destroyed by U.S. forces were shot down by F-82s, the first being a North-Korean Yak-11 downed over Gimpo Airfield by the USAF 68th Fighter Squadron. ADCAerospace Defense Command was a major command of the United States Air Force, responsible for continental air defense. It was activated in 1968 and disbanded in 1980. Its predecessor, Air Defense Command, was established in 1946, briefly inactivated in 1950, reactivated in 1951, and then redesignated Aerospace rather than Air in 1968. Its mission was to provide air defense of the Continental United States (CONUS). It directly controlled all active measures, and was tasked to coordinate all passive means of air defense. Air Materiel CommandAir Force Materiel Command (AFMC) is a major command (MAJCOM) of the United States Air Force (USAF). AFMC was created on July 1, 1992, through the amalgamation of the former Air Force Logistics Command (AFLC) and the former Air Force Systems Command (AFSC).AFMC is headquartered at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. AFMC is one of nine Air Force Major Commands and has a workforce of approximately 80,000 military and civilian personnel. It is the Air Force's largest command in terms of funding and second in terms of personnel. AFMC's operating budget represents 31 percent of the total Air Force budget and AFMC employs more than 40 percent of the Air Force's total civilian workforce.The command conducts research, development, testing and evaluation, and provides the acquisition and life cycle management services and logistics support. The command develops, acquires and sustains the air power needed to defend the United States and its interests. This is accomplished through research, development, testing, evaluation, acquisition, maintenance and program management of existing and future USAF weapon systems and their components. Wright-Patterson AFBWright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB) (IATA: FFO, ICAO: KFFO, FAA LID: FFO) is a United States Air Force base and census-designated place just east of Dayton, Ohio, in Greene and Montgomery counties. It includes both Wright and Patterson Fields, which were originally Wilbur Wright Field and Fairfield Aviation General Supply Depot. Patterson Field is approximately 16 kilometres (10 mi) northeast of Dayton; Wright Field is approximately 8.0 kilometres (5 mi) northeast of Dayton.The host unit at Wright-Patterson AFB is the 88th Air Base Wing (88 ABW), assigned to the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center and Air Force Materiel Command. The 88 ABW operates the airfield, maintains all infrastructure and provides security, communications, medical, legal, personnel, contracting, finance, transportation, air traffic control, weather forecasting, public affairs, recreation and chaplain services for more than 60 associate units.The base's origins begin with the establishment of Wilbur Wright Field on 22 May and McCook Field in November 1917, both established by the Aviation Section, U.S. Signal Corps as World War I installations. McCook was used as a testing field and for aviation experiments. Wright was used as a flying field (renamed Patterson Field in 1931); Fairfield Aviation General Supply Depot; armorers' school, and a temporary storage depot. McCook's functions were transferred to Wright Field when it was closed in October 1927.[2] Wright-Patterson AFB was established in 1948 as a merger of Patterson and Wright Fields.In 1995, negotiations to end the Bosnian War were held at the base, resulting in the Dayton Agreement that ended the war.The 88th Air Base Wing is commanded by Col. Thomas Sherman.[3] Its Command Chief Master Sergeant is Chief Master Sergeant Steve Arbona.[4] The base had a total of 27,406 military, civilian and contract employees in 2010.[5] The Greene County portion of the base is a census-designated place (CDP), with a resident population of 1,821 at the 2010 census. DC-6The Douglas DC-6 is a piston-powered airliner and cargo aircraft built by the Douglas Aircraft Company from 1946 to 1958. Originally intended as a military transport near the end of World War II, it was reworked after the war to compete with the Lockheed Constellation in the long-range commercial transport market. More than 700 were built and many still fly today in cargo, military, and wildfire control roles.The DC-6 was known as the C-118 Liftmaster in United States Air Force service and as the R6D in United States Navy service prior to 1962, after which all U.S. Navy variants were also designated as the C-118. B-29The Boeing B-29 Superfortress is a four-engine propeller-driven heavy bomber designed by Boeing and flown primarily by the United States during World War II and the Korean War. Named in allusion to its predecessor, the B-17 Flying Fortress, the Superfortress was designed for high-altitude strategic bombing but also excelled in low-altitude night incendiary bombing, and in dropping naval mines to blockade Japan. B-29s also dropped the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, becoming the only aircraft to ever use nuclear weaponry in combat.One of the largest aircraft of World War II, the B-29 had state-of-the-art technology, including a pressurized cabin; dual-wheeled, tricycle landing gear; and an analog computer-controlled fire-control system that allowed one gunner and a fire-control officer to direct four remote machine gun turrets. The $3 billion cost of design and production (equivalent to $43 billion today[5])—far exceeding the $1.9 billion cost of the Manhattan Project—made the B-29 program the most expensive of the war.[6][7]The B-29's advanced design allowed it to remain in service in various roles throughout the 1950s. The type was retired in the early 1960s, after 3,970 had been built.A few were used as flying television transmitters by the Stratovision company. The Royal Air Force flew the B-29 as the Washington until 1954.The B-29 was the progenitor of a series of Boeing-built bombers, transports, tankers, reconnaissance aircraft and trainers. The re-engined B-50 Superfortress became the first aircraft to fly around the world non-stop, during a 94-hour flight in 1949. The Boeing C-97 Stratofreighter airlifter, first flown in 1944, was followed in 1947 by its commercial airliner variant, the Boeing Model 377 Stratocruiser. This bomber-to-airliner derivation was similar to the B-17/Model 307 evolution. In 1948, Boeing introduced the KB-29 tanker, followed in 1950 by the Model 377-derivative KC-97. A line of outsized-cargo variants of the Stratocruiser is the Guppy / Mini Guppy / Super Guppy, which remain in service with NASA and other operators.The Soviet Union produced 847 Tupolev Tu-4s, an unlicensed reverse-engineered copy of the aircraft.More than twenty B-29s remain as static displays but only two, Fifi and Doc, still fly. Benjamin W. ChidlawGeneral Benjamin Wiley Chidlaw (December 18, 1900 – February 21, 1977) was an officer in the United States Air Force. He directed the development of the United States' original jet engine and jet aircraft. He joined the United States Army Air Service, at the time a precursor to the United States Air Force (USAF), in 1922 and for several years served in training and engineering positions. By 1940 he was chief of the Experimental Engineering Branch and involved with the development of jet engines. During World War II he was deputy commander of 12th Tactical Air Command and later organised the establishment of the 22nd Tactical Air Command in the European Theater of Operations. After the war he remained in senior command positions and finished his career with the USAF in 1955 as commander in chief of the Continental Air Defense Command with the rank of general. He died in 1977 at the age of 76. Weather BalloonA weather or sounding balloon is a balloon (specifically a type of high-altitude balloon) that carries instruments aloft to send back information on atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity and wind speed by means of a small, expendable measuring device called a radiosonde. To obtain wind data, they can be tracked by radar, radio direction finding, or navigation systems (such as the satellite-based Global Positioning System, GPS). Balloons meant to stay at a constant altitude for long periods of time are known as transosondes. Weather balloons that do not carry an instrument pack are used to determine upper-level winds and the height of cloud layers. For such balloons, a theodolite or total station is used to track the balloon's azimuth and elevation, which are then converted to estimated wind speed and direction and/or cloud height, as applicable. MeteorA meteor, known colloquially as a shooting star or falling star, is the visible passage of a glowing meteoroid, micrometeoroid, comet or asteroid through Earth's atmosphere, after being heated to incandescence by collisions with air molecules in the upper atmosphere,[10][23][24] creating a streak of light via its rapid motion and sometimes also by shedding glowing material in its wake. Although a meteor may seem to be a few thousand feet from the Earth,[25] meteors typically occur in the mesosphere at altitudes from 76 to 100 km (250,000 to 330,000 ft).[26] The root word meteor comes from the Greek meteōros, meaning "high in the air".[23]Millions of meteors occur in Earth's atmosphere daily. Most meteoroids that cause meteors are about the size of a grain of sand, i.e. they are usually millimeter-sized or smaller. Meteoroid sizes can be calculated from their mass and density which, in turn, can be estimated from the observed meteor trajectory in the upper atmosphere. [27] Meteors may occur in showers, which arise when Earth passes through a stream of debris left by a comet, or as "random" or "sporadic" meteors, not associated with a specific stream of space debris. A number of specific meteors have been observed, largely by members of the public and largely by accident, but with enough detail that orbits of the meteoroids producing the meteors have been calculated. The atmospheric velocities of meteors result from the movement of Earth around the Sun at about 30 km/s (67,000 mph),[28] the orbital speeds of meteoroids, and the gravity well of Earth.Meteors become visible between about 75 to 120 km (250,000 to 390,000 ft) above Earth. They usually disintegrate at altitudes of 50 to 95 km (160,000 to 310,000 ft).[29] Meteors have roughly a fifty percent chance of a daylight (or near daylight) collision with Earth. Most meteors are, however, observed at night, when darkness allows fainter objects to be recognized. For bodies with a size scale larger than 10 cm (3.9 in) to several meters meteor visibility is due to the atmospheric ram pressure (not friction) that heats the meteoroid so that it glows and creates a shining trail of gases and melted meteoroid particles. The gases include vaporised meteoroid material and atmospheric gases that heat up when the meteoroid passes through the atmosphere. Most meteors glow for about a second. FireballA fireball is a brighter-than-usual meteor. The International Astronomical Union (IAU) defines a fireball as "a meteor brighter than any of the planets" (apparent magnitude −4 or greater).[34] The International Meteor Organization (an amateur organization that studies meteors) has a more rigid definition. It defines a fireball as a meteor that would have a magnitude of −3 or brighter if seen at zenith. This definition corrects for the greater distance between an observer and a meteor near the horizon. For example, a meteor of magnitude −1 at 5 degrees above the horizon would be classified as a fireball because, if the observer had been directly below the meteor, it would have appeared as magnitude −6.[35]Fireballs reaching apparent magnitude −14 or brighter are called bolides.[36] The IAU has no official definition of "bolide", and generally considers the term synonymous with "fireball". Astronomers often use "bolide" to identify an exceptionally bright fireball, particularly one that explodes.[37] They are sometimes called detonating fireballs (also see List of meteor air bursts). It may also be used to mean a fireball which creates audible sounds. In the late twentieth century, bolide has also come to mean any object that hits Earth and explodes, with no regard to its composition (asteroid or comet).[38] The word bolide comes from the Greek βολίς (bolis) [39] which can mean a missile or to flash. If the magnitude of a bolide reaches −17 or brighter it is known as a superbolide.[36][40] A relatively small percentage of fireballs hit Earth's atmosphere and then pass out again: these are termed Earth-grazing fireballs. Such an event happened in broad daylight over North America in 1972. Another rare phenomenon is a meteor procession, where the meteor breaks up into several fireballs traveling nearly parallel to the surface of Earth.A steadily growing number of fireballs are recorded at the American Meteor Society every year.[41] There are probably more than 500,000 fireballs a year,[42] but most will go unnoticed because most will occur over the ocean and half will occur during daytime. True MagazineTrue, also known as True, The Man's Magazine, was published by Fawcett Publications from 1937 until 1974. Known as True, A Man's Magazine in the 1930s, it was labeled True, #1 Man's Magazine in the 1960s. Petersen Publishing took over with the January 1975, issue. It was sold to Magazine Associates in August 1975, and ceased publication shortly afterward.High adventure, sports profiles and dramatic conflicts were highlighted in articles such as "Living and Working at Nine Fathoms" by Ed Batutis, "Search for the Perfect Beer" by Bob McCabe and the uncredited "How to Start Your Own Hunting-Fishing Lodge." In addition to pictorials ("Iceland, Unexpected Eden" by Lawrence Fried) and humor pieces ("The Most Unforgettable Sonofabitch I Ever Knew" by Robert Ruark), there were columns, miscellaneous features and regular concluding pages: "This Funny Life," "Man to Man Answers," "Strange But True" and "True Goes Shopping." Life MagazineLife was an American magazine published weekly from 1883 to 1972, as an intermittent "special" until 1978, and as a monthly from 1978 until 2000. During its golden age from 1936 to 1972, Life was a wide-ranging weekly general interest magazine known for the quality of its photography.Life was independently published for its first 53 years until 1936 as a general-interest and light entertainment magazine, heavy on illustrations, jokes, and social commentary. It featured some of the greatest writers, editors, illustrators, and cartoonists of its time: Charles Dana Gibson, Norman Rockwell and Jacob Hartman Jr. Gibson became the editor and owner of the magazine after John Ames Mitchell died in 1918. During its later years, the magazine offered brief capsule reviews (similar to those in The New Yorker) of plays and movies currently running in New York City, but with the innovative touch of a colored typographic bullet resembling a traffic light, appended to each review: green for a positive review, red for a negative one, and amber for mixed notices.In 1936, Time publisher Henry Luce bought Life. Life was the first all-photographic American news magazine, and it dominated the market for several decades. The magazine sold more than 13.5 million copies a week at one point. Possibly the best-known photograph published in the magazine was Alfred Eisenstaedt's photograph of a nurse in a sailor's arms, taken on August 14, 1945, as they celebrated Victory over Japan Day in New York City. The magazine's role in the history of photojournalism is considered its most important contribution to publishing. Life's profile was such that the memoirs of President Harry S. Truman, Sir Winston Churchill, and General Douglas MacArthur were all serialized in its pages.After 2000, Time Inc. continued to use the Life brand for special and commemorative issues. Life returned to regularly scheduled issues when it became a weekly newspaper supplement from 2004 to 2007.[1] The website life.com, originally one of the channels on Time Inc.'s Pathfinder service, was for a time in the late 2000s managed as a joint venture with Getty Images under the name See Your World, LLC.[2] On January 30, 2012, the LIFE.com URL became a photo channel on Time.com The PentagonThe Pentagon is the headquarters building of the United States Department of Defense. As a symbol of the U.S. military, the phrase The Pentagon is also often used as a metonym for the Department of Defense and its leadership.Located in Arlington County, Virginia, across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C., the building was designed by American architect George Bergstrom and built by contractor John McShain. Ground was broken on 11 September 1941, and the building was dedicated on 15 January 1943. General Brehon Somervell provided the major motivating power behind the project;[5] Colonel Leslie Groves was responsible for overseeing the project for the U.S. Army.The Pentagon is the world's largest office building, with about 6,500,000 sq ft (600,000 m2) of space, of which 3,700,000 sq ft (340,000 m2) are used as offices.[6][7] Some 23,000 military and civilian employees,[7] and another 3,000 non-defense support personnel, work in The Pentagon. It has five sides, five floors above ground, two basement levels, and five ring corridors per floor with a total of 17.5 mi (28.2 km)[7] of corridors. The central five-acre (20,000 m2) pentagonal plaza is nicknamed "ground zero" on the presumption that it would be a prime target in a nuclear war.[8]On 11 September 2001, exactly 60 years after the building's construction began, American Airlines Flight 77 was hijacked and flown into the western side of the building, killing 189 people (59 victims and the five terrorists on board the airliner, as well as 125 victims in the building), according to the 9/11 Commission Report.[9] It was the first significant foreign attack on Washington's governmental facilities since the city was burned by the British during the War of 1812.The Pentagon is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a National Historic Landmark Ground Observer CorpsThe first Ground Observer Corps was a World War II Civil Defense program of the United States Army Air Forces to protect United States territory against air attack. The 1.5 million civilian observers at 14,000 coastal observation posts performed naked eye and binocular searches to detect German or Japanese aircraft. Observations were telephoned to filter centers, which in turn forwarded authenticated reports to the Aircraft Warning Service, which also received reports from Army radar stations. The program ended in 1944.[2] A few Aircraft Warning Service Observation Towers survive as relics. Royal Canadian Air ForceThe Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF; French: Aviation royale canadienne, ARC) is the air force of Canada. Its role is to "provide the Canadian Forces with relevant, responsive and effective airpower".[3] The RCAF is one of three environmental commands within the unified Canadian Armed Forces. As of 2013, the Royal Canadian Air Force consists of 14,500 Regular Force and 2,600 Primary Reserve personnel, supported by 2,500 civilians, and operates 258 manned aircraft and 9 unmanned aerial vehicles.[1][4] Lieutenant-General Al Meinzinger is the current Commander of the Royal Canadian Air Force and Chief of the Air Force Staff.[5]The Royal Canadian Air Force is responsible for all aircraft operations of the Canadian Forces, enforcing the security of Canada's airspace and providing aircraft to support the missions of the Royal Canadian Navy and the Canadian Army. The RCAF is a partner with the United States Air Force in protecting continental airspace under the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD). The RCAF also provides all primary air resources to and is responsible for the National Search and Rescue Program.The RCAF traces its history to the Canadian Air Force, which was formed in 1920. The Canadian Air Force was granted royal sanction in 1924 by King George V to form the Royal Canadian Air Force. In 1968, the RCAF was amalgamated with the Royal Canadian Navy and the Canadian Army, as part of the unification of the Canadian Forces. Air units were split between several different commands: Air Defence Command (interceptors), Air Transport Command (airlift, search and rescue), Mobile Command (tactical fighters, helicopters), Maritime Command (anti-submarine warfare, maritime patrol), as well as Training Command.In 1975, some commands were dissolved (ADC, ATC, TC), and all air units were placed under a new environmental command called simply Air Command (AIRCOM). Air Command reverted to its historic name of "Royal Canadian Air Force" in August 2011.[6] The Royal Canadian Air Force has served in the Second World War, the Korean War, the Persian Gulf War, as well as several United Nations peacekeeping missions and NATO operations. As a NATO member, the force maintained a presence in Europe during the second half of the 20th century. V-2 RocketThe V-2 (German: Vergeltungswaffe 2, "Retribution Weapon 2"), technical name Aggregat 4 (A4), was the world's first long-range[4] guided ballistic missile. The missile, powered by a liquid-propellant rocket engine, was developed during the Second World War in Germany as a "vengeance weapon", assigned to attack Allied cities as retaliation for the Allied bombings against German cities. The V-2 rocket also became the first artificial object to travel into space by crossing the Kármán line with the vertical launch of MW 18014 on 20 June 1944.[5]Research into military use of long-range rockets began when the studies of graduate student Wernher von Braun attracted the attention of the German Army. A series of prototypes culminated in the A-4, which went to war as the V-2. Beginning in September 1944, over 3,000 V-2s were launched by the German Wehrmacht against Allied targets, first London and later Antwerp and Liège. According to a 2011 BBC documentary,[6] the attacks from V-2s resulted in the deaths of an estimated 9,000 civilians and military personnel, and a further 12,000 forced laborers and concentration camp prisoners died as a result of their forced participation in the production of the weapons.[7]As Germany collapsed, teams from the Allied forces—the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union—raced to capture key German manufacturing sites and technology. Von Braun and over 100 key V-2 personnel surrendered to the Americans and many of the original V-2 team ended up working at the Redstone Arsenal. The US also captured enough V-2 hardware to build approximately 80 of the missiles. The Soviets gained possession of the V-2 manufacturing facilities after the war, re-established V-2 production, and moved it to the Soviet Union. Dr. Walter RiedelWalter J H "Papa" Riedel ("Riedel I") was a German engineer who was the head of the Design Office of the Army Research Centre Peenemünde and the chief designer of the A4 (V-2) ballistic rocket.[1][2] The crater Riedel on the Moon was co-named for him and the German rocket pioneer Klaus Riedel.Employed by the Heylandt Company from 27 February 1928, in December 1929, Riedel was assigned responsibility for the development of rocket motors using liquid propellants, initially in collaboration with Max Valier who had joined the company at that date.[1][3][4][5] Riedel took over full responsibility for the rocket motor development in 1930, after Valier’s untimely death following a rocket motor explosion during a test using paraffin oil (kerosene) as fuel instead of ethyl alcohol.[3]In 1934, research and development of the Heylandt Company was taken over by the Army and amalgamated with the Wernher von Braun Group at the Army Proving Grounds at Kummersdorf, near Berlin, in order to carry out research and development of long-range rocket missiles. In March 1936, von Braun and Walter Riedel began consideration of much larger rockets than the A3 (under development at that time), which was merely a test vehicle and could not carry any payload.[6] Along with Walter Dornberger, plans were drawn up for a more suitable and better equipped test site for large rockets at Peememünde, to take the place of the rather confined Kummersdorf.[6][7] From 17 May 1937, following the transfer of the rocket activities from Kummersdorf to the Army’s new rocket establishment at Peenemünde, Riedel headed the Technical Design Office as chief designer of the A4 (V2) ballistic rocket [1][7]After the air raid by the British Royal Air Force (Operation Hydra) on Peenemünde in August 1943, the transfer of the development facility was ordered to a location giving better protection from air attack. The air raid had killed Dr Walter Thiel (propulsion chief) and Erich Walther (chief of maintenance for the workshops), two leading men at the Peenemünde Army facilities.[7] In mid-September 1943, Riedel and two others surveyed the Austrian Alps for a new site for rocket development to replace that at Peenemünde. The chosen location was at Ebensee, on the southern end of the Traunsee, 100 km east of Salzburg.[8] The site consisted of a system of galleries driven into the mountains, and received the code name Zement (Cement). Work on the site started at the beginning of 1944 and was intended to be completed in October 1945.[9] From 1 October 1943, Riedel was responsible for supervising the transfer, to Ebensee, of the Peenemünde development facility.From 29 May 1945 to 20 September 1945, following the end of World War II, Riedel was held in protective custody (Sicherheitshaft) at the US Third Army’s internment camp at Deggendorf, situated between Regensburg and Passau.[1] From 1 November 1945 to 10 March 1946, he was employed by the Ministry of Supply (MoS) Establishment at Altenwalde (near Cuxhaven), and from 11 March to 31 July 1946, at the MoS Establishment at Trauen (near Braunschweig).[1] After the Trauen Establishment was disbanded, Riedel emigrated to England, to work initially (from 1947) at the Royal Aircraft Establishment, Farnborough, and later, from 1948 until his death in 1968, at the MoS Rocket Propulsion Establishment in Westcott (near Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire). In 1957, Riedel became a British citizen.[10]Riedel died while visiting East Berlin in East Germany. Weasel WordsA weasel word, or anonymous authority, is an informal term for words and phrases aimed at creating an impression that something specific and meaningful has been said, when in fact only a vague or ambiguous claim has been communicated. Examples include the phrases "some people say", "most people think”, and "researchers believe". Using weasel words may allow one to later deny any specific meaning if the statement is challenged, because the statement was never specific in the first place. Weasel words can be a form of tergiversation, and may be used in advertising and political statements to mislead or disguise a biased view.Weasel words can soften or under-state a biased or otherwise controversial statement. An example of this is using terms like "somewhat" or "in most respects", which make a sentence more ambiguous than it would be without them. Air Force Letter 200-5 1. Purpose and Scope.  This Letter sets forth Air Force responsibility and reporting procedures for information and materiel pertaining to unidentified flying objects.  All incidents observed by Air Force personnel or received at any Air Force installation from a civilian source will be reported in accordance with this Letter, except that all airborne sightings by Air Force personnel, Civilian Air Patrol, and regularly scheduled United States airline pilots will also be reported as provided by JANAP 146 series (CIRVIS). TeletypeA teleprinter (teletypewriter, teletype or TTY) is an electromechanical device that can be used to send and receive typed messages through various communications channels, in both point-to-point and point-to-multipoint configurations. Initially they were used in telegraphy, which developed in the late 1830s and 1840s as the first use of electrical engineering[1], though teleprinters were not used for telegraphy until 1887 at the earliest.[2] The machines were adapted to provide a user interface to early mainframe computers and minicomputers, sending typed data to the computer and printing the response. Some models could also be used to create punched tape for data storage (either from typed input or from data received from a remote source) and to read back such tape for local printing or transmission.Teleprinters could use a variety of different communication media. These included a simple pair of wires; dedicated non-switched telephone circuits (leased lines); switched networks that operated similarly to the public telephone network (telex); and radio and microwave links (telex-on-radio, or TOR). A teleprinter attached to a modem could also communicate through standard switched public telephone lines. This latter configuration was often used to connect teleprinters to remote computers, particularly in time-sharing environments.Teleprinters have largely been replaced by fully electronic computer terminals which typically have a computer monitor instead of a printer (though the term "TTY" is still occasionally used to refer to them, such as in Unix systems). Teleprinters are still widely used in the aviation industry (see AFTN and airline teletype system), and variations called Telecommunications Devices for the Deaf (TDDs) are used by the hearing impaired for typed communications over ordinary telephone lines. DC-4The Douglas DC-4 is a four-engine (piston) propeller-driven airliner developed by the Douglas Aircraft Company. Military versions of the plane, the C-54 and R5D, served during World War II, in the Berlin Airlift and into the 1960s. From 1945, many civil airlines operated the DC-4 worldwide.  George AFB John SamfordJohn Alexander Samford (August 29, 1905 – December 1, 1968)[1] was a lieutenant general in the United States Air Force who served as Director of the National Security Agency.    General Sory Smith Thomas K. FinletterThomas Knight Finletter (November 11, 1893 – April 24, 1980), was an American lawyer, politician, and statesman.

It has collectors encouraging people to check their sheds and old farm dumps for possible 'buried treasure'. The hammer fell at $17,500 for the stoneware Doneley and Butler bottle. The little green lip at the top is what set it apart from bottles worth a fraction of that price."These bottles are extremely rare, there have only been two or three found in perfect condition," said auctioneer Graham Lancaster."That colour combination of glazes makes it unique worldwide."He said the Warwick bottle set a record price locally, and quite possible a world-record, for an antique crown-seal soft drink bottle of its type.16 June 2020 – Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins turns 15 - https://comicbook.com/movies/news/batman-begins-anniversary-the-dark-knight-christopher-nolan-christian-bale/As the '90s progressed, the image of Batman on the big screen began to descend into the realm of campiness previously seen in Adam West's take on the character back in the '60s TV series and movie, which started to sour audiences on the character entirely. After a variety of reports emerged about a new take on the character in the early '00s, fans were given Christopher Nolan's gritty and grounded origin story for the character in 2005, debuting Christian Bale as the Dark Knight. This new take on the character harkened back to some of the more grounded interpretations of the character, while adding just enough whimsy to remind audiences that this was still a comic book movie. Batman Begins went on to take in $371 million worldwide, a fraction of the figures that subsequent superhero movies would go on to earn, That film's success might not have been groundbreaking, but it set the stage for The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises, with some audiences considering those films to be the best comic book films of all time, both of which earned major box office hauls and the former earning Heath Ledger a posthumous Oscar for his performance as the Joker.18 June 2020 – Dame Vera Lynn passes away at 103 - https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-53091856The singer was best known for performing hits such as We'll Meet Again to troops on the front line in countries including India and Egypt. Six weeks ago, ahead of the 75th anniversary of VE Day and during the height of the coronavirus pandemic, Dame Vera said simple acts of bravery and sacrifice still define our nation. A week later, she became the oldest artist to get a top 40 album in the UK, beating her own record when her greatest hits album re-entered the charts at number 30. Born in London's East Ham in 1917, Dame Vera's singing talent was discovered at a young age and by age 11 she had left school to pursue a full-time career as a dancer and singer. Lynn devoted much time and energy to charity work connected with ex-servicemen, disabled children and breast cancer. She was held in great affection by Second World War veterans and in 2000 was named the Briton who best exemplified the spirit of the 20th century. Paying tribute, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the singer's "charm and magical voice entranced and uplifted our country in some of our darkest hours". "Her voice will live on to lift the hearts of generations to come," he said. She died at the age of 103 in Ditchling,East Sussex.19 June 2020 – Sir Ian Holm passes away at 88 - https://www.theguardian.com/film/2020/jun/19/ian-holm-dies-alien-chariots-of-fire-bilbo-bagginsSir Ian Holm, an acclaimed British actor whose long career included roles in Chariots of Fire and The Lord of the Rings has died. A star of stage and screen, Sir Ian won a Tony Award for best featured actor as Lenny in Harold Pinter's play The Homecoming in 1967. He won a British Academy Film Award and gained a supporting-actor Oscar nomination for portraying pioneering athletics coach Sam Mussabini in the hit 1982 film Chariots of Fire. His other well-known film roles include Ash in Alien, Father Vito Cornelius in The Fifth Element, Chef Skinner in Ratatouille, and Bilbo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit film series. Sir Ian was knighted in 1998 for his services to drama. He died from Parkinson’s disease in London.Remembrances16 June 1804 – Johann Adam Hiller - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Adam_HillerGerman composer,conductor and writer on music, regarded as the creator of the Singspiel, an early form of German opera. It is a form of German-language music drama, now regarded as a genre of opera. It is characterized by spoken dialogue, which is alternated with ensembles,songs, ballads, and arias which were often strophic, or folk-like. Singspiel plots are generally comic or romantic in nature, and frequently include elements of magic, fantastical creatures, and comically exaggerated characterizations of good and evil. In many of these operas he collaborated with the poet Christian Felix Weiße. Furthermore, Hiller was a teacher who encouraged musical education for women, his pupils including Elisabeth Mara and Corona Schröter. He was Kapellmeister of Abel Seyler's theatrical company, and became the first Kapellmeister of Leipzig Gewandhaus. To Hiller has been given the credit of being the originator of the Singspiel, the beginning of German comedy opera as distinct from the French and Italian developments. The most important of his operas were: Lottchen am Hofe (Lottie at court, 1760),Der Teufel ist los (The devil is loose, 1768), and Poltis, oder Das gerettete Troja (Poltis, or Troy rescued, 1782). The lyrics of all his Singspiele were of considerable musical value, and were long popular. Among his sacred compositions are: A Passion Cantata, Funeral Music in Honor of Hasse, a setting of the one hundredth Psalm; and a few symphonies. He died at the age of 76 in Leipzig.16 June 1858 – John Snow - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_SnowEnglish physician and a leader in the development of anaesthesia and medical hygiene. He is considered one of the founders of modern epidemiology, in part because of his work in tracing the source of a cholera outbreak in Soho, London, in 1854, which he curtailed by removing the handle of a water pump. Snow's findings inspired the adoption of anaesthesia as well as fundamental changes in the water and waste systems of London, which led to similar changes in other cities, and a significant improvement in general public health around the world. John Snow was one of the first physicians to study and calculate dosages for the use of ether and chloroform as surgical anaesthetics, allowing patients to undergo surgical and obstetric procedures without the distress and pain they would otherwise experience. He designed the apparatus to safely administer ether to the patients and also designed a mask to administer chloroform. He personally administered chloroform to Queen Victoria when she gave birth to the last two of her nine children, Leopold in 1853 and Beatrice in 1857 and was still not yet knighted, leading to wider public acceptance of obstetric anaesthesia. John Snow studied chloroform as much as he studied ether, which was introduced in 1847 by James Young Simpson, a Scottish obstetrician. He realised that chloroform was much more potent and required more attention and precision when administering it. Snow first realised this with Hannah Greener, a 15-year-old patient who died on 28 January 1848 after a surgical procedure that required the cutting of her toenail. She was administered chloroform by covering her face with a cloth dipped in the substance. However, she quickly lost pulse and died. After investigating her death and a couple of deaths that followed, he realized that chloroform had to be administered carefully and published his findings in a letter to The Lancet. Snow was a skeptic of the then-dominant miasma theory that stated that diseases such as cholera and bubonic plague were caused by pollution or a noxious form of "bad air". The germ theory of disease had not yet been developed, so Snow did not understand the mechanism by which the disease was transmitted. His observation of the evidence led him to discount the theory of foul air. He first published his theory in an 1849 essay, On the Mode of Communication of Cholera, followed by a more detailed treatise in 1855 incorporating the results of his investigation of the role of the water supply in the Soho epidemic of 1854. By talking to local residents (with the help of Reverend Henry Whitehead), he identified the source of the outbreak as the public water pump on Broad Street (now Broadwick Street). Although Snow's chemical and microscope examination of a water sample from the Broad Street pump did not conclusively prove its danger, his studies of the pattern of the disease were convincing enough to persuade the local council to disable the well pump by removing its handle (force rod). Snow later used a dot map to illustrate the cluster of cholera cases around the pump. He also used statistics to illustrate the connection between the quality of the water source and cholera cases. He showed that homes supplied by the Southwark and Vauxhall Waterworks Company, which was taking water from sewage-polluted sections of the Thames, had a cholera rate fourteen times that of those supplied by Lambeth Waterworks Company, which obtained water from the upriver, cleaner Seething Wells. Snow's study was a major event in the history of public health and geography. It is regarded as the founding event of the science of epidemiology. He died from stroke at the age of 45 in London.16 June 1869 – Charles Sturt - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_SturtCharles Napier Sturt, British officer and explorer of Australia, and part of the European exploration of Australia. He led several expeditions into the interior of the continent, starting from Sydney and later from Adelaide. His expeditions traced several of the westward-flowing rivers, establishing that they all merged into the Murray River, which flows into the Southern Ocean. He was searching to prove his own passionately held belief that an "inland sea" was located at the centre of the continent. Sturt found the conditions and climate in New South Wales much better than he expected, and he developed a great interest in the country. Sturt received approval from Governor Darling on 4 November 1828 to explore the area of the Macquarie River in western New South Wales. The party faced the ordeal of rowing back upriver on the Murray and Murrumbidgee, against the current, in the heat of an Australian summer. Their supplies ran out and, when they reached the site of Narrandera in April, they were unable to go any further. Sturt sent two men overland in search of supplies and they returned in time to save the party from starvation. But Sturt went blind for some months and never fully recovered his health. By the time they reached Sydney again, they had rowed and sailed nearly 2,900 kilometres of the river system. Sturt believed that it was his destiny to discover a great salt water lake, known as 'the inland sea', in the middle of Australia. At very least, he wanted to be the first explorer to plant his foot in 'the centre' of Australia. In August 1844, he set out with a party of 15 men, 200 sheep, six drays, and a boat to explore north-western New South Wales and to advance into central Australia. They travelled along the Murray and Darling rivers before passing the future site of Broken Hill. They were stranded for months by the extreme summer conditions near the present site of Milparinka. When the rains eventually came, Sturt moved north and established a depot at Fort Grey (today this site is within Sturt National Park). With a small group of men, including explorer John McDouall Stuart as his draughtsman, Sturt pressed on across what is now known as Sturt's Stony Desert and into the Simpson Desert. Unable to go further, he turned back to the depot. Sturt made a second attempt to reach the centre of Australia, but he developed scurvy in the extreme conditions. His health broke down and he was forced to abandon the attempt. John Harris Browne, surgeon on the expedition, assisted Sturt, took over leadership of the party and, after travelling a total of 3,000 miles (4,800 km), brought it back to safety. He died from heart failure at the age of 74 in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.16 June 1977 – Wernher von Braun - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wernher_von_BraunGerman and later American aerospace engineer and space architect. He was the leading figure in the development of rocket technology in Nazi Germany and a pioneer of rocket and space technology in the United States. While in his twenties and early thirties, von Braun worked in Nazi Germany's rocket development program. He helped design and develop the V-2 rocket at Peenemünde during World War II. Though a member of the SS, following the war he was secretly moved to the United States, along with about 1,600 other German scientists, engineers, and technicians, as part of Operation Paperclip. He worked for the United States Army on an intermediate-range ballistic missile program, and he developed the rockets that launched the United States' first space satellite Explorer 1. In 1960, his group was assimilated into NASA, where he served as director of the newly formed Marshall Space Flight Center and as the chief architect of the Saturn V super heavy-lift launch vehicle that propelled the Apollo spacecraft to the Moon. In 1967, von Braun was inducted into the National Academy of Engineering, and in 1975, he received the National Medal of Science. He advocated a human mission to Mars. Von Braun also developed the idea of a Space Camp that would train children in fields of science and space technologies, as well as help their mental development much the same way sports camps aim at improving physical development. Von Braun took a very conservative approach to engineering, designing with ample safety factors and redundant structure. This became a point of contention with other engineers, who struggled to keep vehicle weight down so that payload could be maximized. As noted above, his excessive caution likely led to the U.S. losing the race to put a man into space with the Soviets. He died from pancreatic cancer at the age of 65 in Alexandria, Virginia.Famous Birthdays16 June 1801 – Julius Plücker - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_Pl%C3%BCckerGerman mathematician and physicist. He made fundamental contributions to the field of analytical geometry and was a pioneer in the investigations of cathode rays that led eventually to the discovery of the electron. He also vastly extended the study of Lamé curves. In 1836, Plücker was made professor of physics at University of Bonn. In 1858, after a year of working with vacuum tubes of his Bonn colleague Heinrich Geißler, he published his first classical researches on the action of the magnet on the electric discharge in rarefied gases. He found that the discharge caused a fluorescent glow to form on the glass walls of the vacuum tube, and that the glow could be made to shift by applying an electromagnet to the tube, thus creating a magnetic field. It was later shown that the glow was produced by cathode rays. Plücker, first by himself and afterwards in conjunction with Johann Hittorf, made many important discoveries in the spectroscopy of gases. He was the first to use the vacuum tube with the capillary part now called a Geissler tube, by means of which the luminous intensity of feeble electric discharges was raised sufficiently to allow of spectroscopic investigation. He anticipated Robert Wilhelm Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff in announcing that the lines of the spectrum were characteristic of the chemical substance which emitted them, and in indicating the value of this discovery in chemical analysis. According to Hittorf, he was the first who saw the three lines of the hydrogen spectrum, which a few months after his death, were recognized in the spectrum of the solar protuberances. In 1865, Plücker returned to the field of geometry and invented what was known as line geometry in the nineteenth century. In projective geometry, Plücker coordinates refer to a set of homogeneous co-ordinates introduced initially to embed the set of lines in three dimensions as a quadric in five dimensions. The construction uses 2×2 minor determinants, or equivalently the second exterior power of the underlying vector space of dimension 4. It is now part of the theory of Grassmannians, to which these co-ordinates apply in generality (k-dimensional subspaces of n-dimensional space). He was born in Elberfeld,Duchy of Berg,Holy Roman Empire.16 June 1915 – John Tukey - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_TukeyJohn Wilder Tukey, American mathematician best known for development of the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm and box plot. The Tukey range test, the Tukey lambda distribution, the Tukey test of additivity, and the Teichmüller–Tukey lemma all bear his name. He is also credited with coining the term 'bit'. Early in his career Tukey worked on developing statistical methods for computers at Bell Labs where he invented the term "bit" in 1947. n 1970, he contributed significantly to what is today known as the jackknife estimation—also termed Quenouille–Tukey jackknife. He introduced the box plot in his 1977 book, "Exploratory Data Analysis". He is also the creator of several little-known methods such as the trimean and median-median line, an easier alternative to linear regression. He also contributed to statistical practice and articulated the important distinction between exploratory data analysis and confirmatory data analysis, believing that much statistical methodology placed too great an emphasis on the latter. Though he believed in the utility of separating the two types of analysis, he pointed out that sometimes, especially in natural science, this was problematic and termed such situations uncomfortable science. Tukey coined many statistical terms that have become part of common usage, but the two most famous coinages attributed to him were related to computer science. While working with John von Neumann on early computer designs, Tukey introduced the word "bit" as a contraction of "binary digit" The term "bit" was first used in an article by Claude Shannon in 1948. In 2000, Fred Shapiro, a librarian at the Yale Law School, published a letter revealing that Tukey's 1958 paper "The Teaching of Concrete Mathematics" contained the earliest known usage of the term "software" found in a search of JSTOR's electronic archives, predating the OED's citation by two years. This led many to credit Tukey with coining the term, particularly in obituaries published that same year, although Tukey never claimed credit for any such coinage. In 1995, Paul Niquette claimed he had originally coined the term in October 1953, although he could not find any documents supporting his claim.The earliest known publication of the term "software" in an engineering context was in August 1953 by Richard R. Carhart, in a RAND Corporation research memorandum. He was born in New Bedford, Massachusetts.16 June 1909 – Archie Carr - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archie_CarrArchie Fairly Carr, Jr., American herpetologist,ecologist and a pioneering conservationist. He was a Professor of Zoology at the University of Florida. In 1987 he was awarded the Eminent Ecologist Award by the Ecological Society of America. He made extraordinary contribution to sea turtle conservation by way of bringing attention to the world's declining turtle populations due to over-exploitation and loss of safe habitat. He started out as a high school science teacher before becoming a college professor. He published numerous books and articles, including Ulendo: Travels of a Naturalist in and out of Africa, High Jungles and Low, So Excellent a Fishe (about his green turtles), The Windward Road and several Time-Life books such as The Everglades and The Reptiles. He was also the author of the Handbook of Turtles, and with Coleman J. Goin, Guide to the Reptiles, Amphibians and Freshwater Fishes of Florida. While a serious scientific and nature writer, he also had a remarkable sense of humor, which led him to publish the parody of scientific taxonomic keys - his A Subjective Key to the Fishes of Alachua County, Florida, affectionately known as the "Carr Key". Carr was also known for his efforts in conservation, especially for sea turtles, helping convince Costa Rica to establish Tortuguero National Park in 1975. He was a co-founder of the Caribbean Conservation Corporation, which helps to save and monitor sea turtles in Tortuguero,Costa Rica. He was often joined in his conservation work by his wife Marjorie Carr, who was a major advocate for conservation in her own right. In 1952 Carr was awarded the Daniel Giraud Elliot Medal from the National Academy of Sciences. He was born in Mobile, Alabama.Events of Interest16 June 1884 – The first purpose-built roller coaster, LaMarcus Adna Thompson's "Switchback Railway", opens in New York's Coney Island amusement park. - https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/first-roller-coaster-in-america-opensKnown as a switchback railway, it was the brainchild of LaMarcus Thompson, traveled approximately six miles per hour and cost a nickel to ride. The new entertainment was an instant success and by the turn of the century there were hundreds of roller coasters around the country. For five cents, riders would climb a tower to board the large bench-like car and were pushed off to coast 600 ft (183 m) down the track to another tower. The car went just over 6 mph (9.7 km/h). At the top of the other tower the vehicle was switched to a return track or "switched back" (hence the name). The new entertainment was an instant success and by the turn of the century there were hundreds of roller coasters around the country.16 June 1911 – IBM founded as the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company in Endicott, New York. - http://www.techgetz.com/history-of-ibm/In 1911 the company that leased Unit record equipment, especially Hollerith punched cards and card readers to government bureaus and insurance agencies, became the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company (CTR). Thomas J. Watson (1874-1956) took over in 1924, using the name “International Business Machines.” IBM expanded into electric typewriters and other office machines. Watson was a salesman and concentrated on building a highly motivated, very well paid sales force that could craft solutions for clients unfamiliar with the latest technology. His motto was “THINK”; customers were advised to not “fold, spindle or mutilate” the delicate cardboard cards.16 June 2012 – The United States Air Force's robotic Boeing X-37B spaceplane returns to Earth after a classified 469-day orbital mission. - https://www.space.com/16110-secret-x37b-space-plane-landing.htmlThe unmanned X-37B spacecraft, also known as Orbital Test Vehicle-2 (OTV-2), glided back to Earth on autopilot, touching down at California's Vandenberg Air Force Base at 5:48 a.m. PDT (8:48 a.m. EDT, 1248 GMT). The landing brought to an end the X-37B program's second-ever spaceflight, a mission that lasted more than 15 months with objectives that remain shrouded in secrecy. The X-37B stayed in orbit for 469 days this time, more than doubling the 225 days its sister ship, OTV-1, spent in space last year on the program's maiden flight. Officials at Vandenberg said the spacecraft conducted "on-orbit experiments" during its mission. Exactly what the spacecraft, which is built by Boeing, was doing up there for so long is a secret. The details of the X-37B's mission, which is overseen by the Air Force's Rapid Capabilities Office, are classified, as is its payload. This secrecy has led to some speculation, especially online and abroad, that the X-37B could be a space weapon of some sort — perhaps a sophisticated satellite-killer. Some experts also suspect that the vehicle may be an orbital spy platform. "This is a test vehicle to prove the materials and capabilities, to put experiments in space and bring them back and check out the technologies," Richard McKinney, the Air Force's deputy undersecretary for space programs.16 June 2016 – Shanghai Disneyland Park, the first Disney Park in Mainland China, opens to the public - https://www.dw.com/en/distinctly-chinese-disneyland-opens-in-shanghai/a-19332984Shanghai Disney Resort, the first Disney resort in Mainland China and the sixth worldwide, celebrated its historic Grand Opening today, culminating one of Disney's most ambitious projects ever. The wonder and imagination of Disney greeted the people of China in magical new ways as the gates opened to Shanghai Disneyland, a theme park like no other with the biggest, tallest castle in any Disney park, the first pirate-themed land and Disney's most technologically advanced park to date. Walt Disney Co. CEO Bob Iger and Chinese Vice Premier Wang Yang cut a red ribbon together, signaling the Communist Party's endorsement of the $5.5 billion (4.87 billion euro) resort - one of the largest foreign investments in China. The lavish ceremony featured a children's choir singing "When You Wish Upon a Star," as well as actors dressed as Sleeping Beauty, Donald Duck, and other Disney characters dancing on stage. The entrance of the park is called "Mickey Avenue" instead of "Main Street USA." Stores feature Minnie Mouse in traditional quipau dresses and the Wandering Moon Teahouse is modeled after a building in eastern China. Shanghai Disney Resort is filled with immersive Disney storytelling, thrilling attractions, spectacular live entertainment and memory-making experiences designed to inspire and delight Chinese guests. The world-class vacation destination includes a magical theme park with six themed lands, two imaginatively designed hotels, a Disneytown shopping and dining district, and Wishing Star Park recreational area.IntroArtist – Goblins from MarsSong Title – Super Mario - Overworld Theme (GFM Trap Remix)Song Link -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GNMe6kF0j0&index=4&list=PLHmTsVREU3Ar1AJWkimkl6Pux3R5PB-QJFollow us onFacebook- Page - https://www.facebook.com/NerdsAmalgamated/- Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/440485136816406/Twitter - https://twitter.com/NAmalgamatedSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/6Nux69rftdBeeEXwD8GXrSiTunes -https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/top-shelf-nerds/id1347661094RSS -http://www.thatsnotcanonproductions.com/topshelfnerdspodcast?format=rssInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/nerds_amalgamated/Email - Nerds.Amalgamated@gmail.comSupport via Podhero- https://podhero.com/podcast/449127/nerds-amalgamatedRate & Review us on Podchaser - https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/nerds-amalgamated-623195

In 1955 Ian Fleming's third James Bond novel Moonraker was published. Tyler and Don embark on a thorough analysis of the book. In a series of three podcasts they go through the adventure chapter by chapter, providing as much background information as they could gather. This is Part 3 and covers chapters 18 - 25 of the book. Gala Brand figures out Drax's scheme: he wants to plunge the Moonraker, armed with a Soviet atomic bomb, like a giant hypodermic needle into the heart of England. But Gala is captured before she can raise the alarm. Will Bond find her in time? Will he be able to stop the launch? Will he crash his car, be captured and tortured after the villain monologues his entire backstory and endgame? Obviously, this podcast is filled with spoilers, so if you haven't read Moonraker yet, you've been warned! If you enjoy our podcast, please share it with others!

Chapter 3!This time our esteemed author Edward J Ruppelt covers UFO events and Project Sign during 1948. He walks us through the steps he took to investigate famous UFO cases. We don't often get a peek behind the military's wall of secrecy, so this chapter is a real treat for true aficionados of the topic.Some of the topics covered in this chapter are the famous Ghost Rockets, the Mantell Incident, the Chiles Whitted Incident, the Gorman Dogfight, the Estimate of the Situation, J. Allen Hynek's contribution to one of the cases, and more! Quite a lot of excellent UFO goodness packed into the chapter.Some more info on this episode's stuff from Wikipedia:Edward J. Ruppelt (July 17, 1923 – September 15, 1960) was a United States Air Force officer probably best known for his involvement in Project Blue Book, a formal governmental study of unidentified flying objects. He is generally credited with coining the term "unidentified flying object", to replace the terms "flying saucer" and "flying disk" - which had become widely known - because the military thought them to be "misleading when applied to objects of every conceivable shape and performance. For this reason the military prefers the more general, if less colorful, name: unidentified flying objects. UFO (pronounced "Yoo-foe") for short."Ruppelt was the director of Project Grudge from late 1951 until it became Project Blue Book in March 1952; he remained with Blue Book until late 1953. UFO researcher Jerome Clark writes, "Most observers of Blue Book agree that the Ruppelt years comprised the project's golden age, when investigations were most capably directed and conducted. Ruppelt was open-minded about UFOs, and his investigators were not known, as Grudge's were, for force-fitting explanations on cases."Ghost rockets (Swedish: Spökraketer, also called Scandinavian ghost rockets) were rocket- or missile-shaped unidentified flying objects sighted in 1946, mostly in Sweden and nearby countries.The first reports of ghost rockets were made on February 26, 1946, by Finnish observers. About 2,000 sightings were logged between May and December 1946, with peaks on 9 and 11 August 1946. Two hundred sightings were verified with radar returns, and authorities recovered physical fragments which were attributed to ghost rockets.Investigations concluded that many ghost rocket sightings were probably caused by meteors. For example, the peaks of the sightings, on the 9 and 11 August 1946, also fall within the peak of the annual Perseid meteor shower. However, most ghost rocket sightings did not occur during meteor shower activity, and furthermore displayed characteristics inconsistent with meteors, such as reported maneuverability.Debate continues as to the origins of the unidentified ghost rockets. In 1946, however, it was thought likely that they originated from the former German rocket facility at Peenemünde, and were long-range tests by the Soviets of captured German V-1 or V-2 missiles, or perhaps another early form of cruise missile because of the ways they were sometimes seen to maneuver. This prompted the Swedish Army to issue a directive stating that newspapers were not to report the exact location of ghost rocket sightings, or any information regarding the direction or speed of the object. This information, they reasoned, was vital for evaluation purposes to the nation or nations performing the tests.Mantell UFO Incident On January 7, 1948, 25-year-old Captain Thomas F. Mantell, a Kentucky Air National Guard pilot, died in the crash of his P-51 Mustang fighter, after being sent in pursuit of an unidentified flying object (UFO). The event was among the most publicized early UFO incidents.Later investigation by the United States Air Force's Project Blue Book indicated that Mantell may have died chasing a Skyhook balloon, which in 1948 was a top-secret project that Mantell would not have known about. Mantell pursued the object in a steep climb, and disregarded suggestions to level his altitude. At high altitude he blacked out from a lack of oxygen, his plane went into a downward spiral, and crashed.In 1956, Air Force Captain Edward J. Ruppelt (the first head of Project Blue Book) wrote that the Mantell crash was one of three "classic" UFO cases in 1948 that would help to define the UFO phenomenon in the public mind, and would help convince some Air Force intelligence specialists that UFOs were a "real", physical phenomenon. The other two "classic" sightings in 1948 were the Chiles-Whitted UFO encounter and the Gorman dogfight.Historian David M. Jacobs argues the Mantell case marked a sharp shift in both public and governmental perceptions of UFOs. Previously, the news media often treated UFO reports with a whimsical or glib attitude reserved for “silly season news”. Following Mantell's death, however, Jacobs notes "the fact that a person had died in an encounter with an alleged flying saucer dramatically increased public concern about the phenomenon. Now a dramatic new prospect entered thought about UFOs: they might be not only extraterrestrial but potentially hostile as well."The Chiles-Whitted UFO encounter occurred on July 24, 1948 in the skies near Montgomery, Alabama. Two commercial pilots, Clarence S. Chiles and John B. Whitted, claimed that at approximately 2:45 AM on July 24 they observed a "glowing object" pass by their plane before it appeared to pull up into a cloud and travel out of sight. According to Air Force officer and Project Blue Book supervisor Edward J. Ruppelt, the Chiles-Whitted sighting was one of three "classic" UFO incidents in 1948 that convinced the personnel of Project Sign, Blue Book's predecessor, "that UFOs were real," along with the Mantell UFO incident and the Gorman dogfight. However, later studies by Air Force and civilian researchers indicated that Chiles and Whitted had seen a meteor, possibly a bolide, and in 1959 Project Blue Book formally stated that a meteor was the cause of the incident.The Gorman UFO dogfight was a widely publicized UFO incident. It occurred on October 1, 1948, in the skies over Fargo, North Dakota, and involved George F. Gorman, a pilot with the North Dakota Air National Guard. USAF Captain Edward J. Ruppelt wrote in his bestselling and influential The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects that the Gorman Dogfight was one of three "classic" UFO incidents in 1948 that "proved to [Air Force] intelligence specialists that UFOs were real," along with the Chiles-Whitted UFO encounter and the Mantell UFO incident. However, in 1949 the US Air Force concluded that the Gorman Dogfight had been caused by a lighted weather balloon.The Estimate of the Situation was a document written in 1948 by the personnel of United States Air Force's Project Sign - including the project's director, Captain Robert R. Sneider - which explained their reasons for concluding that the extraterrestrial hypothesis was the best explanation for unidentified flying objects. The report's conclusions were rejected by General Hoyt Vandenberg, Chief of Staff of the Air Force, for lack of proof.As late as 1960, USAF personnel stated that the document never existed. However, several Air Force officers, and one consultant, claim the report as being a real document that was suppressed. Jenny Randles and Peter Hough describe the Estimate as the "Holy Grail of ufology" and state that Freedom of Information Act requests for the document have been fruitless.Josef Allen Hynek (May 1, 1910 – April 27, 1986) was an American astronomer, professor, and ufologist. He is perhaps best remembered for his UFO research. Hynek acted as scientific advisor to UFO studies undertaken by the U.S. Air Force under three consecutive projects: Project Sign (1947–1949), Project Grudge (1949–1952), and Project Blue Book (1952–1969).In later years he conducted his own independent UFO research, developing the "Close Encounter" classification system. He was among the first people to conduct scientific analysis of reports and especially of trace evidence purportedly left by UFOs.See? I told you, lots of goodness packed in! And that's not even all of it!

Werner von Braun was the mastermind behind the Nazi V2 Rocket program during WW2. He was technical director of a weapons lab near Peenemünde where thousand of Jewish people were worked to death. He and his team used the advanced weapon as a bargaining chip during Operation Paperclip after Nazi Germany fell. Once he was relocated to America, he and his team worked for NASA designing the Saturn 5 rocket used to carry man to the moon.

“In 1937, I was officially demanded to join the National Socialist Party. At this time I was already Technical Director at the Army Rocket Center at Peenemünde. The technical work carried out there had, in the meantime, attracted more and more attention in higher levels. Thus, my refusal to join the party would have meant that I would have to abandon the work of my life. Therefore, I decided to join. My membership in the party did not involve any political activity.”  Werner von Braun, 1947.

Cover by ©FRANZ ZÜNKLER [franz.zuenkler@t-online.de] ┋Tante Dante (Flora&Fauna Kollektiv / Die Meeronauten / Göttingen) presents Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr.87┋ “Es gibt Wichtigeres im Leben, als beständig dessen Geschwindigkeit zu erhöhen." Mahatma Gandhi Aus einer Welle von Disco-Brause wurde diese Tante vor 3 Jahren ans Korallenriff auf dem Meeresrausch angespült. Seit je her werden für den DJ aus Göttingen die Tage kürzer und die Nächte länger. Mit dem Flora&Fauna Kollektiv und den ersten Gigs im Stilbrvch ging es raus in die Welt der elektronischen Unterhaltungskunst. Seine Ursprünge liegen, wie es das Tempo vermuten lässt, im Reggae aber auch Keta-Pop, Slow-House und wabernde Bässe sowie Disco & Trash aller Art finden sich in seinen Sets wieder. Erste Internationale Bookings beschritt er dann 2015 mit Sebastian Dali aus Lübeck unter anderem in Amsterdam, Utrecht und Basel und weiter zog es die beiden Bauch an Bauch in diverse Clubs des Landes (Bollwerk, Kater Blau, Kultstätte Keller, MS Treue, Dots) sowie auf diverse kuschlige Open-Air-Veranstaltungen. Anfang des Jahres ging es dann ins Studio, wo sie in diesem Jahr gemeinsam 3 Tracks & Remixes produzierten (u.a. für Muttis Mischkonsum & NixxNeues). Für den Sommer haben die beiden ihre Tasche vollgepackt mit Tracks und sind hoch motiviert Festivals wie das Feel, Katzensprung & Just Breathe bespielen zu dürfen! Noch ein paar persönliche Worte von der Tante Dante ;-) ----------- Die Connection zu Afterhour Sounds kam durch unzählige wunderbare Stunden, die ich in Berlin mit Tonelite und den lieben Menschen des Gedankenklang eV. verbringen durfte. (Herzgruß und ein fettes Dankeschön an dieser Stelle!) Für die Meute von Afterhour Sounds habe ich mein Set vom Meeresrausch 2016 noch mal neu aufgenommen und mit ein paar Schmuckstücken verfeinert um euch einen Einblick in den Groove, der Peenemünde seit X Jahren jeden Sommer zu einem unvergesslichen 3-Tages-Moment werden lässt, zu geben. Als Mitglied der Meeronauten werde ich euch in den nächsten Jahren noch die eine oder andere Morgenstunde auf der Insel versüßen. ----------- Wir möchten uns ganz herzlich bei Tante Dante für seinen exklusiven Mix bedanken und freuen uns sehr ihn in unserer Reihe begrüßen zu dürfen. Viel Spaß mit unserer #087. ┋InfoBox Tante Dante (Flora&Fauna Kollektiv / Die Meeronauten / Göttingen) ┋ booking contact | danteallegorie@yahoo.de www.facebook.com/TnTDnT www.soundcloud.com/tantedante ┋InfoBox Flora&Fauna Kollektiv┋ https://www.facebook.com/Floraundfaunakollektiv ┋InfoBox Afterhour Sounds┋ https://soundcloud.com/afterhour-sounds www.facebook.com/afterhoursounds.official Download for free on The Artist Union

La V1, creada y producida por Fieseler, fue el primer misil guiado que se utilizó en la guerra y es el precursor de los misiles de crucero de hoy en día. Lo denominaron Flak Zielgerät (en alemán aparato para puntería de la defensa antiaérea). La V1 fue desarrollada en Peenemünde por la Luftwaffe alemana durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Este misil se utilizó entre junio de 1944 y marzo de 1945 contra objetivos al sudeste de Inglaterra y de Bélgica, tales como Londres y Amberes, respectivamente. La V1 era lanzada desde plataformas muy parecidas a las usadas para el salto en esquí. Estas plataformas estuvieron ubicadas en la zona costera del departamento francés Paso de Calais (Pas-de-Calais) y en las costas de los Países Bajos hasta que las fuerzas aliadas llegaron. Los depósitos subterráneos de V1 que había en las localidades de Saint-Leu-d'Esserent, Nucourt y Rilly La Montange, así como las rampas de lanzamiento, fueron bombardeados durante la operación Ballesta.

Under andra världskriget slog tyska V1:or och en V2:a ner i Sverige. De kom från testanläggningen i Peenemünde och hamnade i landet av misstag. För svenska krigsmakten innebar fynden en stor möjlighet att sätta sig in i tysk spjutspetsteknologi, något som på sikt ledde till utvecklandet av SAAB:s tidiga robotsystem.

In dieser Radioreise nimmt Sie Alexander Tauscher mit zu unbekannten Orten und Inseln in Mecklenburg Vorpommern. Lernen Sie das secret land zwischen Ostsee und Haff kennen, entdecken Sie mit uns Naturparadiese abseits abgetrampelter Touristenpfade. Auf dem Programm dieser Tour steht unter anderem die Insel Vilm, die lange für die Minister der DDR gesperrt war. Wir waren dort und haben kleine Geschichten von großen Tieren mitgebracht. Später besuchen wir die Insel Ruden und treffen einen der beiden Insulaner, die hier leben. Wir schippern weiter übers Meer auf die Insel Greifswalder Oie zum nächsten Insulaner. Kommen Sie auch mit an die recht ruhige, kaum betretene Südspitze von Rügen, lernen Sie auf Rügen die schwimmenden Häuser kennen und folgen Sie uns später in Richtung Stettiner Haff. Unterwegs entdecken wir einen absolut geheimnisvollen Ort mit dunkler Vergangenheit kennen, das Gelände der früheren Heeresversuchsanstalt in Peenemünde. Völlig unbekannt ist den meisten sicher die R

Agradece a este podcast tantas horas de entretenimiento y disfruta de episodios exclusivos como éste. ¡Apóyale en iVoox! Según leemos en la Wikipedia, Hans Kammler fue encargado de construir las instalaciones para los distintos proyectos de armas secretas del régimen nazi, incluyendo las instalaciones fabriles y los bancos de prueba para el avión Messerschmitt Me 262 y los misiles V-2. Después de las incursiones aliadas con el bombardeo en Peenemünde en la denominada Operación Hidra el 17 de agosto de 1943, Hans Kammler se encargó de trasladar la producción a instalaciones subterráneas, formando el llamado complejo Mittelwerk camuflado en el campo de concentración de Mittelbau-Dora. También le asignaron la construcción de las instalaciones en Jonastal y Karkonosze para investigar las armas nucleares y en Ebensee para desarrollar las V-2.
