1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:19,380
I was born in Welsh for West Virginia. I was born a poor black child. Now, I actually said that in an all black church in Atlanta and it was dead quiet

2
00:00:19,380 --> 00:00:27,660
at 5, 20,000 members. And I was trying to be Steve Martin, you know, the jerk, I felt like a jerk.

3
00:00:27,660 --> 00:00:33,780
And the cardinal said in there and he's like, turn and white. And I thought, oh God, somebody

4
00:00:33,780 --> 00:00:39,380
say, you know, and finally, this big soprano of woman in the choir just, ah, ah,

5
00:00:39,380 --> 00:00:47,580
if I laugh and it was fun from there on. But I'm careful about that. But anyway, I was born

6
00:00:47,580 --> 00:00:57,900
in Welsh for Virginia and number 10 Pocohanis Coalfield. My dad was a illiterate coal miner and my mother

7
00:00:57,900 --> 00:01:04,540
taught him reading right and boy D'Acean, Leesha. Monster there, because he went into mechanics,

8
00:01:04,540 --> 00:01:11,500
out of mechanics, he's gifted at it. And his out of mechanics was so good. I was kind of fortunate.

9
00:01:11,500 --> 00:01:17,260
My mother's parent, my grandfather, ah, wore some of your conspiracy people on the left

10
00:01:17,260 --> 00:01:28,300
because he was a 33rd level knighted Mason. So I'm from that house. And, ah, he, you have, he was the

11
00:01:28,300 --> 00:01:36,940
district foreman. He was the manager of all the co-fields. So it's like a, like a governor.

12
00:01:36,940 --> 00:01:42,700
And he didn't want his grandchildren be in fatherless. So he pulled my dad out of the coal

13
00:01:42,780 --> 00:01:49,500
mines and got him a garage and he started it and man, it took off crazy. But this really went

14
00:01:49,500 --> 00:01:54,380
crazy and did really well. But I remember it three o'clock in the morning. My parents,

15
00:01:54,380 --> 00:02:00,060
nailing blankets over the windows at night and these cars would pull in and dad's best customer.

16
00:02:00,060 --> 00:02:04,940
They all paid cash. And they had 200 gallon tanks in the trunk and it's not gasoline.

17
00:02:05,660 --> 00:02:12,220
They're moon runners. Dad would tune up a 392 Chrysler himmy engine and get that thing to

18
00:02:12,220 --> 00:02:18,780
us like a, it's a mo-par missile. And, ah, they would take off and the reason they would see the lights

19
00:02:18,780 --> 00:02:23,740
revenue is to look for garages trying to find these high powered cars so they can catch the boot

20
00:02:23,740 --> 00:02:31,500
legors. Well, why is that important? These boot legors were people like buddy baker and Fred

21
00:02:31,580 --> 00:02:38,300
Lorenzen. These are all NASCAR champion drivers. That's why on NASCAR got started. They would

22
00:02:38,300 --> 00:02:47,580
boot leg drivers. And they drive after the revenue. I'm not making a stop. It's history. So anyway,

23
00:02:47,580 --> 00:02:55,020
that's really important because dad was working in the garage in his morning time and a man

24
00:02:55,020 --> 00:02:59,660
pulled in his car broke down and it's very complicated car operator called a spicer. He had

25
00:02:59,660 --> 00:03:04,060
a water jacket around it. You know, anything like that today takes about a half a day or a day to

26
00:03:04,060 --> 00:03:10,460
change it. Dad didn't 30 minutes. And the man was watching how fast my dad was and he goes,

27
00:03:11,660 --> 00:03:16,060
he always worked as fast and he goes, yeah, when I can see what I'm doing and he didn't get to joke.

28
00:03:16,940 --> 00:03:23,340
So he said, well, I'm coming from Troy. I'm on my way to the Daytona. I would like to hire you as

29
00:03:23,340 --> 00:03:28,460
my mechanic. That said, yeah, you want me work work? Yeah, we're going to race on the beach down

30
00:03:29,180 --> 00:03:36,940
here. He has a high. My name is Lee Petty. He has that's the father of a guy named Richard Petty.

31
00:03:37,580 --> 00:03:44,300
And if you don't know who that is, look it up on internet. Winner of 200 national NASCAR races

32
00:03:44,300 --> 00:03:52,700
of words. They call him King Richard. I grew up in this world. The first thing I built that was really,

33
00:03:52,700 --> 00:03:58,300
I thought was significant. It was 12 years old and I built this 426 Chrysler Hemie engine

34
00:03:58,460 --> 00:04:02,940
from the block up and people wondered, how does it go, you know, a guy in science and

35
00:04:03,660 --> 00:04:10,300
computer stuff, how do you get arms like that? And I said, well, that's because hone in big blocks.

36
00:04:10,940 --> 00:04:18,460
And they said, God, the hone are way more than I did. But when I got through with an engine,

37
00:04:18,460 --> 00:04:26,460
it turned down the diameter, the diameter we had 900 horsepower engine. So we dropped that in

38
00:04:26,460 --> 00:04:33,420
and Richard won a grand national and some of that's gone. Wow. My son built the grand national

39
00:04:33,420 --> 00:04:39,820
winning engine and Lee and Richard came over dead and told him, Fred, we can't see anything about that.

40
00:04:39,820 --> 00:04:44,220
Why? There's a man over there, there's a big Bill France chairman, NASCAR. He's going to hang

41
00:04:44,220 --> 00:04:49,420
us from the tree over here because that's a 12 year old. This is a child laborer wall. So you know,

42
00:04:50,300 --> 00:04:58,220
NASCAR laws, all kinds of things. And so they said, okay, David, I don't know if I'm going to

43
00:04:58,220 --> 00:05:03,100
go say anything. So Richard's looking at me and he goes, well, he's still bad about it. It's

44
00:05:03,100 --> 00:05:09,900
anything we do for you? I went, yeah, actually, you could, could have the keys to the shop and they said,

45
00:05:09,900 --> 00:05:17,500
sure, is it any material you should need? You never thought of this a bit, but a NASCAR shop and a

46
00:05:17,500 --> 00:05:26,460
NASA rocket shop are the same shops because both shops deliver one product speed. We have the same

47
00:05:26,460 --> 00:05:33,660
tools, the same machines, the same fuels, because we ran dragsters, method, natural, liquid oxygen.

48
00:05:34,220 --> 00:05:39,740
So it was all there, all the equipment, all the materials, and I know how to use it. So first

49
00:05:39,740 --> 00:05:44,540
saying, I'm, they said, what are you going to do? I'd like to build some things. Just a kid, yeah,

50
00:05:44,540 --> 00:05:50,460
build whatever you want. If you can't find it, order, we'll get it for you. So the first thing I built was a

51
00:05:52,060 --> 00:05:59,340
nearly nine foot rocket taller than the ceiling. And it's a, it's a, it's a crowd-genic pump or

52
00:05:59,340 --> 00:06:04,780
what that means is it's a, I'm working with crowd, 325 degrees below zero. That's a fuel,

53
00:06:04,780 --> 00:06:09,980
that's how cold we are. Special handling equipment, all the stuff involved. But I got the thing built

54
00:06:09,980 --> 00:06:15,340
and it's sitting out there, I got it out to the backyard and my friends are looking at it.

55
00:06:15,340 --> 00:06:20,620
I'll just stand right next to it. You know, it's vaporizing, equalizing the pressure and the tanks.

56
00:06:21,420 --> 00:06:26,860
And there used to be lighting bottle rockets off, you know, stand up, you know, and that's fun.

57
00:06:27,420 --> 00:06:32,940
I said, hey, yo can't be there. I'm like from here to the foyer of this building. I said,

58
00:06:32,940 --> 00:06:36,780
you got come up here, yo, yo, yo, and now they came up there. Why are you going to be all the way

59
00:06:36,780 --> 00:06:41,580
up here? Because you don't want to be down there. And my last time I mother saw my friends,

60
00:06:41,580 --> 00:06:45,900
they were standing by the rocket. Well, she's in the house and everything in the house just

61
00:06:45,900 --> 00:06:52,220
starts moving across the counters. And I'm turning the switch on the pumps that get finally it takes off.

62
00:06:53,020 --> 00:07:01,100
It takes off all right. It goes 52,000 feet. That's over 10 miles. And it looks like a NASA launch.

63
00:07:01,180 --> 00:07:07,820
I mean, I got a plume. She miles long. And what was the yard down there with just his

64
00:07:07,820 --> 00:07:12,780
burnt crisp thing about size of a football field, just burnt to death? My mother come

65
00:07:12,780 --> 00:07:17,500
run out for, she's my friends standing right here all for him. My mother come around, where's your

66
00:07:17,500 --> 00:07:23,340
friends? The turn around. And she says, what are they? She thought they were down by the rocket.

67
00:07:23,340 --> 00:07:27,900
You know, I said, well, they weren't, they're probably in the next county by now,

68
00:07:28,620 --> 00:07:35,260
because we're not, they weren't allowed to play with matches. So, so my mother,

69
00:07:38,220 --> 00:07:44,860
I've learned how to speak from Daniel Brinkley. So, so anyway, I don't have any. Anyway,

70
00:07:45,740 --> 00:07:50,380
the rocket's roaring. And I mean, it's rolling thunder. If you ever been under a big rocket launch,

71
00:07:50,380 --> 00:07:54,380
it rolls the thunder rolls out. You can hear it rolling the distance. And I'm looking around

72
00:07:54,380 --> 00:07:58,540
clear blue skies and I thought, man, somebody's coming, no, it's one of these that rolling thunder.

73
00:08:00,540 --> 00:08:03,740
So, I'm standing and watching it. My mother's standing next to me and we're watching it go up. And

74
00:08:03,740 --> 00:08:10,620
I was saying, why am I, why is so weird about me? I won't see my friends until next month, maybe.

75
00:08:11,180 --> 00:08:14,620
And my mother's looking at it, she says, well, I'll just tell you this. They've told me

76
00:08:14,620 --> 00:08:19,260
years have figured this out. Actually, metaphysical people helped me figure it out. My mother said,

77
00:08:19,820 --> 00:08:27,500
look, you didn't come from me, you came through me. So, I was just sitting there.

78
00:08:29,340 --> 00:08:38,060
And my mother was ahead of her time, but anyway, that was a start of many, many

79
00:08:38,060 --> 00:08:46,060
rockets, things got bigger and faster. And about to time that started, then these weird dreams started.

80
00:08:46,540 --> 00:08:53,340
And maybe I should back up real quick on something. I hear I'm in a start-off in West

81
00:08:53,340 --> 00:08:58,380
West Virginia. And when I was seven years old, I'm sitting in the library in a corner where the

82
00:08:58,380 --> 00:09:02,780
science books are and I sit on the floor and read them because of their own day and didn't want

83
00:09:02,780 --> 00:09:09,020
to take up the adult seat. So, I'm reading and finally, like, I'm coming over, she's about 75.

84
00:09:09,660 --> 00:09:15,100
She looks me. Where you read, that's the science book. She picked up my guys. How many of these

85
00:09:15,180 --> 00:09:22,380
have you read? All of them. There's 250 books here. Yeah, read them all. How much do you remember?

86
00:09:22,380 --> 00:09:30,300
All of it. She just got grabbed this book, holds it to me, and it says, singularity. She

87
00:09:30,300 --> 00:09:37,180
opens up and she goes, tell me about it. Well, where are you in the book? She has, I'm in the third chapter,

88
00:09:37,180 --> 00:09:43,820
first paragraph. Singularity is a forest where you have a convergent duck of a gravitational

89
00:09:43,900 --> 00:09:48,620
field, which will build into a graveton. That'll be affected upon another outside fourth.

90
00:09:48,620 --> 00:09:54,700
And she's going, slams the book. Okay. So, you, puts it back up. Okay, so you do know this stuff.

91
00:09:56,140 --> 00:10:01,980
Would you like some more books? I said, yeah, but we're in West Virginia, you know, in the 1960s.

92
00:10:02,620 --> 00:10:08,860
So, she said, I'll tell you what, the summer, joining the summer program, and I'll make you like

93
00:10:08,860 --> 00:10:16,220
a burying. And smart woman, 14 girls stand there, and I'm, I got a picture of it, and I'm in the center.

94
00:10:16,220 --> 00:10:22,380
The only boy, and I'm a librarian. But I was allowed to order books from all over the world.

95
00:10:23,420 --> 00:10:29,180
Free. And I said, that little, Lace, you don't know what she turned loose on the world.

96
00:10:29,900 --> 00:10:34,700
Because I have to order about 1,100 books.

97
00:10:35,020 --> 00:10:42,140
Everything available in plant earth at the time, that's when at age 12, I decided, I think I

98
00:10:42,140 --> 00:10:47,580
built a different kind of rocket engine. And, and friends at mine, knew some rockets. Well,

99
00:10:47,580 --> 00:10:52,060
the solid fuel and liquid fuel, what are you going to build? 91. Where are you going to build?

100
00:10:52,620 --> 00:10:57,340
I don't even have a name for it. I think, I think what is going to be called, there'll be

101
00:10:57,340 --> 00:11:04,140
an electromagnetic fusion containment engine. What is that? Basically, it's going to be a magnetic

102
00:11:04,140 --> 00:11:10,060
bottle. And inside the magnetic bottle, there'll be force fields. And they will hold the

103
00:11:11,180 --> 00:11:16,140
nuclear chain reaction. What are you talking about? That name, Nagebom, and Containant.

104
00:11:17,980 --> 00:11:25,180
What? Yeah, it can be done. And so basically, with the singularity application, and I did with

105
00:11:26,460 --> 00:11:32,860
the configuration on a came up with this thing, it allowed me to build a containment cell.

106
00:11:33,740 --> 00:11:40,060
And once, you know, credibility starts getting stressed here, you know, this can't be happening.

107
00:11:40,860 --> 00:11:48,460
Well, let me tell you something. What has been going on for the last 80 years over

108
00:11:48,460 --> 00:11:53,420
fusion containment communities? They're on the wrong design. They've been on the wrong design

109
00:11:53,420 --> 00:11:59,420
for eight decades. I've tried to tell them it's another type of design. And they keep doing the same

110
00:11:59,420 --> 00:12:04,460
thing over and over looking for different results. And Einstein called that one. In sanity.

111
00:12:05,180 --> 00:12:11,900
And I didn't want to call these people insane, but you know, I just chew fit. So they're still,

112
00:12:11,900 --> 00:12:19,580
they have one half. It will take, it takes twice what they're working with. The official

113
00:12:19,580 --> 00:12:24,380
rule right now in fusion containment community is that they can get it done in 40 more years than

114
00:12:24,380 --> 00:12:32,220
80 billion dollars more. The money was okay, but it was the years. It got me 40 years. Why

115
00:12:32,220 --> 00:12:38,780
that? 40? That's a, that's a time of a career. So they're going from career to career.

116
00:12:39,580 --> 00:12:44,780
And then care if they get it done. And that's why 80 years later, you still don't have containment.

117
00:12:44,780 --> 00:12:51,020
I can't believe I'm still this far ahead. But what happened? Well, maybe I cheated.

118
00:12:51,980 --> 00:13:00,300
Why, what happened was these dreams started when I was 12. And I wake up and I'm trying to write it down.

119
00:13:00,860 --> 00:13:05,420
Couldn't see in a dark anyway. But my mother, she taught my lamp and stripped the bottom of it

120
00:13:05,420 --> 00:13:12,140
off and made an open neutral negatives on the lamp. And all I had to do was touch it and it turns on.

121
00:13:12,140 --> 00:13:19,740
This is 1960. My mother made the first touch lamp. So I'd wake up and touch the lamp and I write down

122
00:13:19,740 --> 00:13:24,300
on a big artist's pad one I remembered. Go back to sleep. Wake up next morning. Can't

123
00:13:24,300 --> 00:13:29,500
remind me of saying flip the book open. Look at I remember all that. And I transferred to a notebook.

124
00:13:29,500 --> 00:13:33,340
But this is where it started getting weird. Every time I go to sleep,

125
00:13:34,380 --> 00:13:44,060
right word, the equation ended at start. 93 pages I went through in total sleeping time three months.

126
00:13:45,020 --> 00:13:50,700
And there it was. And I was looking at it. And I knew enough that this is something new.

127
00:13:51,180 --> 00:13:55,980
And what it was, it was the expressions of the algorithms that give you the hypothesis

128
00:13:55,980 --> 00:14:02,860
where you can test the terms of field containment. That's simple. So anyway,

129
00:14:03,900 --> 00:14:10,620
I was going, well, it's kind of cool. So I thought, how am I ever going to build something? I guess

130
00:14:10,620 --> 00:14:17,340
it take a miracle to have that, the kind of equipment materials and people I would need to build.

131
00:14:17,340 --> 00:14:21,580
It's not something you're going to go build in the garage, okay? It's not like Apple computer.

132
00:14:21,580 --> 00:14:26,220
It's a little bit more complex. So this is where the rest of the story starts.

133
00:14:26,860 --> 00:14:32,380
My mother, my dad was injured and my mother had to go to work at back to work at age 40.

134
00:14:34,460 --> 00:14:38,540
And as Briegan Stanton Freeman said, my mother was some kind of caregiver.

135
00:14:39,100 --> 00:14:44,940
No, Stanton, it wasn't. My mother was a registered LPN.

136
00:14:46,060 --> 00:14:52,780
And in 1966 she became one of the first females in the state of Ohio to command a CCU unit.

137
00:14:52,780 --> 00:14:59,100
We just built them, corn air care units. 1966 they just invented my mother's running one.

138
00:15:00,460 --> 00:15:04,620
So she takes a graveyard shift, 11 at night to seven and more. She loved that shift.

139
00:15:05,340 --> 00:15:10,140
And she had a 93 year old patient named Irving Lemme.

140
00:15:11,260 --> 00:15:15,340
In the cranky old man, knocked one of her nurses out with a cane. She went in there,

141
00:15:15,340 --> 00:15:19,900
broke the cane next to the said, I will beat you to death if you touch another nurse.

142
00:15:19,900 --> 00:15:27,900
He became real friendly. And so the son showed up and the son wanted to see his dad.

143
00:15:27,900 --> 00:15:32,460
He got to go through my mother to see the dad. The son would come in about three o'clock in the morning

144
00:15:32,540 --> 00:15:37,020
because he's got a pop or Nazi problem. His name is Curtis Lemme.

145
00:15:38,140 --> 00:15:42,300
Forcedar General Curtis Lemme chief of the joint chief.

146
00:15:43,180 --> 00:15:47,180
There's nobody hired the president who was John Kennedy.

147
00:15:48,140 --> 00:15:52,700
So he got to know my mother. Miracle happened.

148
00:15:53,660 --> 00:15:57,420
And he asked my mother, a simple question, she wanted to get knowing.

149
00:15:57,420 --> 00:16:02,940
And how's it? What kind of family you got? Got three sons. First two, okay. The third one's odd.

150
00:16:03,660 --> 00:16:04,540
You got to watch him.

151
00:16:05,260 --> 00:16:10,060
Matter of fact, we moved him out of the basement of the house to another garage. It's out by itself because

152
00:16:10,060 --> 00:16:13,420
my dad and my husband was afraid he's going launches. What?

153
00:16:13,420 --> 00:16:17,900
He's going to launch an entire hell. What's he doing? Launching the f***ing out of these rockets out

154
00:16:17,900 --> 00:16:22,380
and cow fields. And maybe I should tell you that's the story.

155
00:16:23,340 --> 00:16:29,820
It's now the year 1966. What came out on TV in the fall of 1966? Star Trek.

156
00:16:31,580 --> 00:16:35,180
Would you believe what luck? The four farms that were around us.

157
00:16:36,300 --> 00:16:42,860
They were all trackers. These farmers were crazy about Star Trek. How cool that? So

158
00:16:44,140 --> 00:16:46,700
they said, I told him, could I launch rockets?

159
00:16:47,100 --> 00:16:56,860
rockets? Hell yeah, boy, you're going to launch rockets? So, so, so, so, so, so, they were very helpful.

160
00:16:56,860 --> 00:17:00,460
They got to front end loaders and went out and they dug this big earth pit,

161
00:17:00,460 --> 00:17:03,340
big enough where I drive the car down the end of the station wagon,

162
00:17:03,340 --> 00:17:09,180
hauled the rockets down there. I had a sub-tourini in launch area. And all the cows,

163
00:17:09,180 --> 00:17:14,940
they raised cattle. Really cool cows. They really liked them. They'd all get up and I'd be down there

164
00:17:15,020 --> 00:17:19,180
working, look up and cows are all way around the perimeter and all looking down at me chewing.

165
00:17:21,180 --> 00:17:27,900
And the cows are smart. Cows are very smart, I like cows. They see me come up out of the pit slowly.

166
00:17:27,900 --> 00:17:32,940
They all turn around and walk real slow and they get about a hundred yards back and they're waiting

167
00:17:32,940 --> 00:17:37,100
for this thing to come out of the pit and they just all these heads looking up chewing.

168
00:17:37,580 --> 00:17:46,940
And that was, that's a normal day. And, but if they ever saw me run out of the pit,

169
00:17:46,940 --> 00:17:52,460
they ran, stampede, they'd run because something blows up out of the pit. And, um,

170
00:17:53,500 --> 00:17:59,820
and believe me, that I had way more accidents and I had successes. They were smart putting me

171
00:17:59,820 --> 00:18:03,820
underground, causing blow-up stuff, strapped and won't fly everywhere in the cows were okay.

172
00:18:04,620 --> 00:18:16,300
But, um, except one day, um, I decided to build a cryogenic staging rocket. Now, liquid fuel

173
00:18:16,300 --> 00:18:23,500
engines on staging is very complex. It took NASA 45 years to figure it out. Soviet Union never did

174
00:18:23,500 --> 00:18:31,180
figure it out. It's very complex. And I learned my lesson the first day. The rocket comes out of the pit.

175
00:18:32,140 --> 00:18:38,780
Well, right, when it gets to the event horizon, the opening of the pit, the second, the second,

176
00:18:38,780 --> 00:18:43,180
the second, the second staging night blows the first stage back into the pit. It explodes.

177
00:18:43,180 --> 00:18:49,420
It's all in a split second. Ball fire comes back up and concussion turns a rocket sideways. And,

178
00:18:49,420 --> 00:18:56,060
it now horizontal going across landscape like a torpedo, heading for a fleet of cows.

179
00:18:56,140 --> 00:19:04,540
The cows, though, this is not normal. And it's coming at them. And I'll just, I was standing

180
00:19:04,540 --> 00:19:11,100
in, I was screaming, God save me. Save the cows. Save the cows. So, the rocket bounced twice.

181
00:19:11,100 --> 00:19:17,740
Hits the ground and rammed in and locks in. Engine still runs, vibration, fuel tanks rapture.

182
00:19:17,740 --> 00:19:24,140
Explode. It's full of liquid hydrogen, liquid oxygen. And, if you don't know about hydrogen,

183
00:19:24,220 --> 00:19:28,940
it's one of the best fuels you could ever use in a jet liner, which we don't. But, um,

184
00:19:29,980 --> 00:19:33,900
the fuel has to get 20 feet above the ground before it gets enough barometric pressure

185
00:19:33,900 --> 00:19:40,380
work in detonate. So, if you were in a plane crash, the fuel would burn above you, not own you.

186
00:19:41,820 --> 00:19:47,340
That's, they won't do it. So, anyway, the, under the big fireball now is about the size of

187
00:19:47,340 --> 00:19:51,980
the ballroom in this place. I'm looking under, in a couch, looking at me and they're like,

188
00:19:51,980 --> 00:20:00,220
I's like this. And I thought, oh, God, here we go. It was like, an army, just all them in

189
00:20:00,220 --> 00:20:05,500
units and turn about face, stand peed. And they go off and I thought, well, that's, they're going

190
00:20:05,500 --> 00:20:09,900
to run, be okay. But there's a cow on the far side, just looking the other way, you don't see anything.

191
00:20:10,780 --> 00:20:15,820
And the stand peed goes right over that cow. So, I come running over that cow. It's all busted up.

192
00:20:15,820 --> 00:20:21,820
It's dead. I mean, the, you know, Oregon's hanging out. So, and I went, ah, the killed is cow.

193
00:20:21,820 --> 00:20:26,940
And farmers are now coming from all four farms, from all four directions. They come over there,

194
00:20:26,940 --> 00:20:32,780
because they knew that was not normal. And, um, okay, David, I'm fine. But I killed your cow.

195
00:20:32,780 --> 00:20:39,500
You know, I'm crying cause I'm, I'm going to lose my launch area. And, um, it's 90 degrees.

196
00:20:39,580 --> 00:20:45,980
And they're, they're looking at it going, um, but I'm not going to time to, um, get to the butcher shop.

197
00:20:45,980 --> 00:20:52,540
But so, these are angus cows. A lot of money. That's a 2,000 pound cow laying there. So, they pick it up

198
00:20:52,540 --> 00:20:56,540
with a front-end letter and they go to the barn, they tell me, come with them. I got to go to the barn.

199
00:20:56,540 --> 00:21:02,220
And I thought, gee, what is this going to be interesting? Um, I get there and they string this poor

200
00:21:02,220 --> 00:21:07,340
cow up by the neck with a chain hoist and they tell me, um, you got to dress this cow. And I turn around,

201
00:21:07,340 --> 00:21:11,820
and look at them, I'm going, why not, God's name, but I want to put a dress on this dead cow.

202
00:21:13,100 --> 00:21:19,100
And they just bust out left to back out, juice going everywhere. And, guy behind me went,

203
00:21:19,100 --> 00:21:25,900
reeeeeeeeeee here. And I cut that cow. It was just, I became a vegetarian. It was just,

204
00:21:27,500 --> 00:21:34,380
but I also had charts and, and the, and the wife came out and I cut this cow and I cut it to the charts.

205
00:21:35,260 --> 00:21:39,980
And I just wanted to do such a perfect job in the guy's a here in the moment, but I got a mighty

206
00:21:39,980 --> 00:21:46,860
he cuts like a surgeon. That's way better than the meat house does. And I cut this all 2,000 pounds up.

207
00:21:46,860 --> 00:21:52,060
And, um, the, the, why is he wrapping it? And I thought they're going to throw me out now. My dad pulls

208
00:21:52,060 --> 00:21:57,660
that and I thought, he just going from bad to worse. And, um, he looks up and they stop and talk to him

209
00:21:57,660 --> 00:22:03,820
and they're all laughing. And, um, I didn't tell you about the point where I had everything up to my knees

210
00:22:03,820 --> 00:22:10,380
coming out of this cow and it's hot. And, I'm scraping, I'm cutting everything out except to my shoulders.

211
00:22:10,380 --> 00:22:16,620
And, this guy puts a bag of, uh, a big league chew in my face. Here, have a child boy.

212
00:22:17,580 --> 00:22:26,060
I just, it's a, it's a, give it an awful. So, anyway, my dad walks up and said, um, well, they're not

213
00:22:26,060 --> 00:22:30,380
going to show your own property. Matter of fact, you really did it in my favor. They were going to

214
00:22:31,260 --> 00:22:36,140
have this cow butchered and you just saved them around 400 dollars. They're pretty happy with

215
00:22:36,140 --> 00:22:41,260
you. Yes, really? How about you? And he goes, I just got 50 pounds of stakes. I'm really happy.

216
00:22:42,220 --> 00:22:50,220
So, I never ate a single stake. So, um, I don't want to get distracted but this is all

217
00:22:50,220 --> 00:22:57,820
leap, this is all going somewhere. So, one of, establishing is how I got a launch pit, how I could

218
00:22:57,820 --> 00:23:03,820
build so sophisticated rockets, how I got to things the same way to complicated. And now,

219
00:23:04,700 --> 00:23:12,780
another string of events happened. Um, did you know General Curtis May ran for Vice President

220
00:23:12,780 --> 00:23:18,380
of the United States in 1968 on the independent ticket with the presidential candidate of George Wallace?

221
00:23:18,380 --> 00:23:23,500
Did you know that? Remember that? Somebody meet, yeah. Well, George, you just shot.

222
00:23:24,380 --> 00:23:31,820
And good, yeah, you deserved it. But anyway, that meant, let me see what, um,

223
00:23:31,900 --> 00:23:39,660
now I'm going to back up again here. Lemme, was arguing with North Vietnam, this is 1968.

224
00:23:40,700 --> 00:23:47,580
Tech offensive, really bad. Anyway, he tells North Korea, if you don't get your butts over the Paris

225
00:23:47,580 --> 00:23:52,540
peace talk table, I'm going to bomb you back into the store and Stone Age. Do you remember that?

226
00:23:52,540 --> 00:23:58,380
That was quoted in the International Paper. Next day, he's fired by the Secretary of Defense,

227
00:23:58,460 --> 00:24:07,260
McNamara. Okay. If you ever seen a picture of Curtis Lemme at that time, he's like 59 years old,

228
00:24:07,260 --> 00:24:12,220
standing over that big stogi. This looked like a guy that's going to retire. I don't think so.

229
00:24:12,220 --> 00:24:16,540
He was running for Vice President, because he's not through. He has an agenda he's running.

230
00:24:17,180 --> 00:24:25,420
Well, Wallace gets shot. That was the election, the election of November 68. January 6, 1969,

231
00:24:25,500 --> 00:24:31,500
there's a knock on my front door, opening door, and there stands a full bird kernel in uniform.

232
00:24:31,500 --> 00:24:37,580
He goes, hi, my name is Colonel Arthur Bailey Williams. I'm XO for General Lemme.

233
00:24:38,780 --> 00:24:41,980
I'm going, okay, we're going to do for you. We need this hog.

234
00:24:44,300 --> 00:24:49,900
Lemme switch gears when all that happened because, let me tell you something about Lemme.

235
00:24:50,780 --> 00:24:55,740
The B52 Stratofortris, the nuclear bomber, Lemme designed it.

236
00:24:56,620 --> 00:25:02,060
Created it. And then he wanted to use it. So he created Sachs, strategic air command,

237
00:25:02,060 --> 00:25:06,780
nuclear deterrent forces. He created it. He did all that before he got fired.

238
00:25:07,820 --> 00:25:15,500
So he had another plane. He was going to replace the B52, which by the way, the B52 is still in service

239
00:25:15,820 --> 00:25:22,380
70 years. The longest running military aircraft design in World History. This is the guy that made it.

240
00:25:23,340 --> 00:25:26,860
And now he just told me, I'm going to be your project manager.

241
00:25:29,100 --> 00:25:33,180
What are we building, General? He said, you're going to build your rocket sun.

242
00:25:33,180 --> 00:25:38,060
And I don't just write out your wish list because we're going to fill it out and we're going to go to work.

243
00:25:38,780 --> 00:25:45,420
Because once he, at that time, there were two of them built. How many people heard of the XB70?

244
00:25:46,220 --> 00:25:51,260
Balkery. Yes, he's hand got, type it in there. You're not going to believe what this thing looks like.

245
00:25:51,260 --> 00:25:58,460
It's a Delta Winged with a big long nose and a cockpit Delta Winged. The Delta Winged's

246
00:25:58,460 --> 00:26:05,100
almost a size of a football field. It carries nuclear weapons. It's going to replace the B52.

247
00:26:05,820 --> 00:26:12,220
And they built two of them. They cruise at 85,000 feet and cruise at 2,000 miles an hour.

248
00:26:12,940 --> 00:26:22,460
Designed in 1958. Where do you think some of these ideas are coming from? We have nothing today that can touch that thing. Nothing.

249
00:26:22,460 --> 00:26:25,260
Nothing in this guy can fly that high or that fast.

250
00:26:26,380 --> 00:26:31,420
One of them was destroyed. And a test, we didn't know that giant wings back air, the way they

251
00:26:31,420 --> 00:26:37,020
curved down at the, at the pin yards, created tornadoes that you couldn't see. And a camera jet

252
00:26:37,020 --> 00:26:42,060
came up behind it was pulled in and went into the engines and blew the whole left wing off.

253
00:26:42,060 --> 00:26:46,460
And the thing went to the ground crash blew up, killed a crew. There's only one left.

254
00:26:46,460 --> 00:26:51,260
So they then put it, they'd look and out of it on this, the last one of it's kind. So they put it

255
00:26:51,260 --> 00:26:57,180
over to right Paris and Air Force Base, Daytona Hio, the Air Force Museum, it's setting in a

256
00:26:57,180 --> 00:27:05,980
building. You can go look at it. It, what the plan was, he was going to get 45 of these things built.

257
00:27:06,460 --> 00:27:13,420
This, this Valkyrie replaced B-52s, put them up in the constant orbit of strategic air command,

258
00:27:13,420 --> 00:27:18,620
it fell safe. And then he was going to drop all the missiles and stuff out of it and put

259
00:27:18,620 --> 00:27:26,220
pithlam, that's my rocket engine in it. And then he was going to launch onto the Soviet Union.

260
00:27:27,980 --> 00:27:33,500
So your bomber comes in at 2,000 miles an hour and then they open to bay and drop pithlam.

261
00:27:33,580 --> 00:27:39,100
Now pithlam, jump in ahead, but remember that whole scenario, okay?

262
00:27:39,900 --> 00:27:42,460
Kind of like pulp fiction. Now let me take you back to that myth.

263
00:27:43,500 --> 00:27:49,740
Now we're back to me working with Colonel Williams and we started and there was a big

264
00:27:50,700 --> 00:27:55,660
commercial garage that came with the property, my parents bought with their house. It was closed down.

265
00:27:55,660 --> 00:28:01,580
But you know, you know, a big commercial, you know, like a beer dealership and the big garage,

266
00:28:02,220 --> 00:28:08,060
that's what it was in was empty. And that became my new home. I got a shower in a bathroom built

267
00:28:08,060 --> 00:28:15,020
in the bedroom and the rest of it was completely re-modified by courtesy of the United States Air Force.

268
00:28:15,820 --> 00:28:20,140
And I had a list this long. I gave my thought. I'll never get this stuff.

269
00:28:20,940 --> 00:28:27,980
I got everything. I got presses, rollers. I've got spectometers. I've got, I have a major lab

270
00:28:28,460 --> 00:28:34,300
and what we did, we painted all the windows black and they built this fake wall that could roll back and forth

271
00:28:34,300 --> 00:28:39,100
and set them back there with this giant lab and then the Air Force people showed up.

272
00:28:39,100 --> 00:28:42,380
And I told Colonel Williams, you guys get to him guys and blue jeans and plants here.

273
00:28:42,380 --> 00:28:45,820
You can't have you in four and a round with all the metal studs and stuff.

274
00:28:45,820 --> 00:28:51,180
So I'm trying to live a normal life here and I'm a rifle age of 13.

275
00:28:52,140 --> 00:28:59,020
So they put on their clothes and we all start to work and we go to work on this project.

276
00:29:01,580 --> 00:29:07,340
But it wasn't long until somebody else got involved. United States Congressmen of my area named

277
00:29:07,340 --> 00:29:13,660
Congressman John Ashbrook, who ran for President of the United States in 1972. Anyway,

278
00:29:14,940 --> 00:29:20,060
he is, you know what? He's, you know what? He's job was in Congress. He's chief of internal

279
00:29:20,060 --> 00:29:27,340
security of Congress. Imagine a power he has. So he walks up and asked me what's going on

280
00:29:27,340 --> 00:29:31,900
and knows the general doing something out here and the thing that caught his attention was,

281
00:29:32,700 --> 00:29:39,500
I answered the phone one day, Limey called me and he heard the women up the line. It's a party line.

282
00:29:40,540 --> 00:29:43,740
Probably you don't even know what that is, do you? Some of you do.

283
00:29:44,300 --> 00:29:47,340
A party line is where lots of families share the same phone line.

284
00:29:47,580 --> 00:29:56,460
No, yes. So the general's online talking to me and he's starting to think, who's that laughing?

285
00:29:57,100 --> 00:30:01,900
I said, you got somebody with you? I said, no, it's a party line. Click.

286
00:30:04,620 --> 00:30:11,100
Next morning, all these telephone poles and trucks show up and they restrain an entire telephone

287
00:30:11,100 --> 00:30:17,260
system into my house. And that's when the Congress said, what is going on out there in, in,

288
00:30:18,620 --> 00:30:26,220
in Knox County? So he found out and so he started talking to Limey and Limey and I'm got together.

289
00:30:28,300 --> 00:30:34,780
And here's the other crazy thing. Thanks to Limey. Now Limey is retired, right? Got fired.

290
00:30:35,180 --> 00:30:42,220
It doesn't matter he's in civilian clothes. He walks onto a military base. This is the former

291
00:30:42,220 --> 00:30:49,820
chief of the joint chief. This is bombs of way Limey. That was a nickname. And he has a big cigar.

292
00:30:49,820 --> 00:30:53,980
And like even on a flight line with all these B-52s being revealed and the field's like,

293
00:30:55,260 --> 00:31:00,460
inch deep, he's walking across it, smoking a cigar and a little Lieutenant comes up.

294
00:31:00,460 --> 00:31:04,300
Now, General, he can't smoke him. I have a fire. These planes might catch fire and he turned around

295
00:31:04,300 --> 00:31:15,500
and they wouldn't dare. And that's, remembered the story of Limey and the senator that he chewed

296
00:31:15,500 --> 00:31:22,060
out so bad. Oh, God, what's his name? He asked him the question, what, go water.

297
00:31:22,140 --> 00:31:31,580
Very good. Thank you so much. Anyway, Barry Goldwater, senator Barry, very powerful senator asked Limey.

298
00:31:32,380 --> 00:31:39,340
And I got Limey with me two hours after he talked to Barry Goldwater and you're just

299
00:31:39,340 --> 00:31:44,860
to say, I want Barry Goldwater said, I asked the general, tell me about hangar 17 and Area 51.

300
00:31:44,860 --> 00:31:51,020
And Limey turns around, grabbing by his time says, don't you ever ask me that question ever again?

301
00:31:51,580 --> 00:31:58,860
Impushing back. That's a full blown United States senior senator. He was laughing because he said,

302
00:31:58,860 --> 00:32:04,060
I think Limey would have stomp me into the ground. So why did he react like that?

303
00:32:04,860 --> 00:32:11,980
Stuff's going on, you know. But he has a different agenda at that moment and it involves this teenager.

304
00:32:13,100 --> 00:32:20,220
So we start building, start construction and I, you should see the parts and materials and

305
00:32:21,180 --> 00:32:27,660
they would destroy the paper trails, they destroyed every hour of the day. They erased things off

306
00:32:27,660 --> 00:32:31,260
of containers. But I was, I was ahead of them. I could actually catch some of this stuff.

307
00:32:32,220 --> 00:32:37,500
And we had groups like Lawrence National Lawrence Live and War Laboratories. We had

308
00:32:38,540 --> 00:32:45,020
ran. We had material memorial. We had Los Alamosas,

309
00:32:45,980 --> 00:32:51,100
Tennessee Oak Ridge, Tennessee, everybody's involved in this. It's coming through a thing called

310
00:32:51,100 --> 00:32:58,220
the Iron Triangle. You've heard of that? No. That's your military, industrial, and commercial

311
00:32:58,220 --> 00:33:02,940
complex that's working together. It's what's feeling everything you're all concerned about.

312
00:33:02,940 --> 00:33:10,220
It's what, it's a driving mechanism and still in place. Limey commands that, command it.

313
00:33:11,100 --> 00:33:17,660
And so I have card blanche for everything I want. Gee, I'm sorry, I'd tell you this, but I need about

314
00:33:18,380 --> 00:33:22,860
about three grams of plutonium T38. No problem. Be here tomorrow morning.

315
00:33:24,060 --> 00:33:33,660
It was. So all this stuff was, that's how this all could happen. So you wish you see the lab

316
00:33:33,660 --> 00:33:42,780
by now. And it just keeps getting weirder. I ran in so many construction problems because

317
00:33:44,220 --> 00:33:49,180
the things that the math would tell you specs that we're doing, things aren't going to work.

318
00:33:49,980 --> 00:33:55,260
Let me give you an example. Limey, I asked Limey, once the biggest, baddest, strongest rocket

319
00:33:55,340 --> 00:34:03,020
in the US arsenal of fleets. And he said, I'd be the Titan missile, ICBM. And I said,

320
00:34:04,140 --> 00:34:15,660
he said, why? I said, well, I need one. Okay. So now it sounds like BS, right? However, you go to

321
00:34:15,740 --> 00:34:25,020
Ashland, Ohio, which in my, have a DVD, I made. In Ashland, Ohio is Ashland College home,

322
00:34:25,020 --> 00:34:33,820
a John Ashbrooks library and a curators there. And we walked in with the producer and said,

323
00:34:33,820 --> 00:34:38,540
can we see the letters? We talked about, he spends a big will and a vault, no, the Zump,

324
00:34:38,540 --> 00:34:42,860
now comes his tray of letters and the Lia letter down. And my producer's looking at

325
00:34:42,940 --> 00:34:50,300
the branch, he goes, are you serious? The letter says, dear David, it's from Congress of the United

326
00:34:50,300 --> 00:34:55,740
States. The dear David, John Ashbrooks is running for the president of the office, but in the meantime,

327
00:34:55,740 --> 00:35:05,660
we're in the process of obtaining you the Titan missile. And I told a producer, look at the date,

328
00:35:06,540 --> 00:35:18,300
June 10, 1970. I was born in 1954, how old am I? 15. Your hand and a Titan missile, the 130 feet tall,

329
00:35:19,340 --> 00:35:25,020
it takes a full military escort to move it around. It weighs about three, let's see,

330
00:35:25,020 --> 00:35:31,340
we'll depend on the two engines that were in it, half million pound trusting engines. This is a major

331
00:35:31,500 --> 00:35:38,940
piece of hardware. And you're given it to a 15-year old, a stadium, ICBM missile, signed by Congress

332
00:35:38,940 --> 00:35:45,260
stamped by the security of Congress. And this vault, how do you Photoshop that?

333
00:35:49,660 --> 00:35:55,180
The producers looking at it going, name of God. I said, well, you like that? Look at the other 13

334
00:35:55,180 --> 00:36:01,900
letters behind it. And the whole story I've been telling you, it's all right there. In the library of

335
00:36:01,900 --> 00:36:08,140
Congress, you know why John Ashbrooks was murdered. He was killed by the next person in our

336
00:36:08,140 --> 00:36:16,860
story. Anybody heard of anybody named Arthur Rudolph? It's an honorary title, Dr. Arthur Rudolph.

337
00:36:16,860 --> 00:36:24,620
He came in with Operation Paperclip. He was one of the chief architects of the B2 rocket.

338
00:36:25,500 --> 00:36:32,460
He's also a full kernel in the Kostapo. He's also winner of the most distinct service word by

339
00:36:32,460 --> 00:36:40,700
NASA because he's your chief architect of the F1 Apollo Saturn 5 Moon rocket engines. They want to tell

340
00:36:40,700 --> 00:36:51,660
you that, do they? And they didn't really want you to know why? Because January 24th in 1984,

341
00:36:52,620 --> 00:36:59,180
you know May 24th, 1984, very quietly, he was shipped out of San Francisco to Munich,

342
00:36:59,180 --> 00:37:05,180
Germany, house to rest for the rest of his life for war crimes called Eqilda. 100,000 prisoners

343
00:37:05,180 --> 00:37:10,620
building the B2 rockets. That's your winner, this distinguished service award by NASA.

344
00:37:11,740 --> 00:37:17,900
And it's all history. It's all facts and it's all laying in there. This guy got on my case in

345
00:37:17,900 --> 00:37:28,140
it was bad. So we get Piss-Lum done and I remember laying on the night before we were going to

346
00:37:28,140 --> 00:37:36,620
ship it out. And the fire place in the light was shining off the hall of it. This thing was so amazing

347
00:37:36,620 --> 00:37:45,420
looking. Anyway, back to that big ICBM. I told General May it's not going to work. We're going to

348
00:37:45,420 --> 00:37:51,820
numbers and he goes, what's going to happen? I take this styrofoam cup and I go, wow. That's

349
00:37:51,820 --> 00:37:56,380
what's going to happen to your rocket when this engine goes off. Let me ask you another way.

350
00:37:56,940 --> 00:38:02,060
What goes through General, a mosquitoes mine when it hits a windshield, 80 miles an hour.

351
00:38:03,180 --> 00:38:11,900
He hits butt. So the general actually, cigar fell out of his mouth.

352
00:38:12,620 --> 00:38:17,340
That's what's going to happen when this engine turns on. It's going to rip clear through your

353
00:38:17,340 --> 00:38:23,180
rocket because the acceleration curve on this thing, I can't even get a calculator to go that high.

354
00:38:24,460 --> 00:38:28,060
He said, what are we going to do? We're going to lay the engine down and build a rocket around it.

355
00:38:28,940 --> 00:38:34,380
And that's exactly what we did. Now, I remember I was on art bail and I was describing this and the

356
00:38:34,380 --> 00:38:40,460
material I used on this rocket. I don't know where it came from. It came from England but the

357
00:38:40,620 --> 00:38:47,180
origin of the metal is unknown. There was enough of it to build a rocket. There was tons of it.

358
00:38:49,180 --> 00:38:57,420
It's got a really cool name. It's carbonite. And the men said that all the experts at

359
00:38:57,420 --> 00:39:02,540
Slyst and Art Bale running, always that's what Han Solo was frozen in. Carbonite has guys

360
00:39:02,860 --> 00:39:12,300
the liar. C-A-R-B-O-N-I-T-E carbonite. That's Han Solo. Mine is C-A-R-B-N-I-T-E carbonite.

361
00:39:14,060 --> 00:39:19,340
It is so hard. Yeah, we've solved molten metal port into these big vats.

362
00:39:19,980 --> 00:39:25,900
Well, those vats are made out of a material called incranel. This stuff is about 10,000 times stronger than

363
00:39:25,900 --> 00:39:31,660
incranel. And we don't know where it came from. But there's a just enough where we can build a body

364
00:39:31,740 --> 00:39:36,140
around this rocket. And here's the crazy spark. When it's all completely finished,

365
00:39:36,940 --> 00:39:43,660
the surface cohesion tension of this material looks like water wet. It's that shiny.

366
00:39:44,460 --> 00:39:50,380
So Pistom was laying there and it was stretched out down through the room and the fire pipes were

367
00:39:50,380 --> 00:39:55,180
shining off. I was laying on a bed looking at it and thinking, God, I can't believe what I built

368
00:39:55,180 --> 00:40:03,260
this thing. Tuck us 26 months, three weeks and two days. And it's completed. So what is my beautiful

369
00:40:03,260 --> 00:40:07,820
rocket goes into? Goes into a semi that has pickly wiggly painted on the side of it.

370
00:40:10,540 --> 00:40:16,540
You got to love the air force. We went from Mount Liberty Ohio to Wright Paris,

371
00:40:16,540 --> 00:40:24,540
near-force space and we pulled up and there's a C-141 star lifter. You're to see the huge jet.

372
00:40:25,420 --> 00:40:30,540
Four engines, big cargo bay. I mean, you drive army tanks in it. And as a ring of guards all

373
00:40:30,540 --> 00:40:35,580
way around it with all these weapons and stuff. And I was afraid to walk up to the guards.

374
00:40:36,300 --> 00:40:43,580
And Lemais said, son, they belong to you. They're protecting you in your rocket. It's okay to

375
00:40:43,580 --> 00:40:50,060
walk through. That's it. Really? Wow. So we load the rocket on and we take off and we go to

376
00:40:52,380 --> 00:40:57,900
New Mexico to White Sand's missile proving grounds. It's not called any more back then it was.

377
00:40:57,900 --> 00:41:04,380
So anyway, we get to test science. We everything set up and Colonel wings with me on the whole way.

378
00:41:06,380 --> 00:41:09,660
I'm looking at it. We're getting a prep for the next morning.

379
00:41:10,620 --> 00:41:16,620
And somebody said, Colonel, I'm going to look at what's coming in and it's black DC-9 coming

380
00:41:16,620 --> 00:41:21,580
into the runway. And I went, wow, where's the white bunny head?

381
00:41:23,180 --> 00:41:27,020
Back in that time, Hugh Hefton had a black DC-9 jet. They had a white bunny head on.

382
00:41:28,060 --> 00:41:34,140
So I looked at Colonel Williams, he's smiling. He's just like really concerned. Same pulls up,

383
00:41:34,140 --> 00:41:38,460
door comes down. Now comes all these guides where God black suits mirrors on glasses.

384
00:41:39,660 --> 00:41:44,380
And then this one little guy with gray hair and khaki shorts that thought, well, he's only

385
00:41:44,380 --> 00:41:49,500
one dress for this place. He's behind me. He comes out, but I recognize him because Von Braun,

386
00:41:50,380 --> 00:41:55,900
another story I can't go. It's so long. Von Braun showed me a picture of him. He said,

387
00:41:55,900 --> 00:42:01,180
if he ever shows up, they've endured in such trouble. And it's Arthur Rudolph.

388
00:42:02,460 --> 00:42:08,140
So he comes out there. He walks over to me. He said, oh, you're the young man that has the rocket,

389
00:42:08,380 --> 00:42:13,980
and you know, German, blonde hair, blue eyes, and waiting for him to say, we have ways of getting

390
00:42:13,980 --> 00:42:20,380
the way you used to dope. So, and he's so, so help me hone a cigarette like this.

391
00:42:22,700 --> 00:42:27,980
And I'm going, if that's not a, if that's not, not see, I don't know what that is. So,

392
00:42:28,860 --> 00:42:35,740
we walk over to the to Pistlim Lane Air and I'm on one side of it. He's on the other. And I

393
00:42:35,900 --> 00:42:41,100
said, open it up and I mean look at the engine, sure. So pull out this bar of metal and I

394
00:42:41,100 --> 00:42:46,460
slide it down the hull. What was no seam all of a sudden as a seam and the door rises up and

395
00:42:46,460 --> 00:42:52,540
slides to the side. Hey, what, what is that? I went, it's called a dissimilar metal lock.

396
00:42:52,540 --> 00:42:58,540
Yeah, we heard of them. That's the key, the block of metal. And he's like, looking at me like

397
00:42:58,540 --> 00:43:02,300
him from another planet. I said, it's old technologies. It was made in World War II.

398
00:43:02,700 --> 00:43:08,860
He was upset. But anyway, he stuck, he stuck his head down in the engine compartment.

399
00:43:09,420 --> 00:43:13,580
And I thought, I just can't stand it. I'm going to do something. So, I got right at the top

400
00:43:13,580 --> 00:43:21,660
of his head and I got right down by his ear and I go, that engine you're looking at has 10,000 times

401
00:43:21,660 --> 00:43:27,660
a power of all five of F1 Saturn engines of FILO. What do you think of that, Dr. Rudolph?

402
00:43:27,900 --> 00:43:38,220
And his head springs up, man. He's got this color of a thermometer. And he's looking at me

403
00:43:38,220 --> 00:43:46,380
because how did you, he's so upset he can't even get his questions out. And I thought, I guess

404
00:43:46,380 --> 00:43:51,820
he's a little angry. He's thought the Germans are so far ahead and here's a, and I assume who

405
00:43:51,900 --> 00:43:57,580
are you? And he told me, I'm a man just looks at things for the government. He asks, who are you?

406
00:43:57,580 --> 00:44:04,780
I'm just a kid that launches rockets and calfills. And it went downhill from there. It wasn't,

407
00:44:06,460 --> 00:44:14,300
it wasn't good encounter. So now, so now we pack the rocket up, take it out to the platform,

408
00:44:14,300 --> 00:44:20,860
get it ready launch. Rudolph comes out all huffed and tells me to change the coordinates to these

409
00:44:20,940 --> 00:44:26,700
coordinates. And I'm going way to minute. I can bring this thing so good. I'm so good at this.

410
00:44:26,700 --> 00:44:30,460
I can bring this thing down within a mile radius. We want to walk anywhere to get this thing.

411
00:44:31,180 --> 00:44:38,780
You want me to drop it 456.4 miles northwest of here. And so I grab a map and I went,

412
00:44:38,780 --> 00:44:43,740
that's in a middle of a dry lake bed called Grim Lake. Why God's name you want dropped something there?

413
00:44:44,620 --> 00:44:50,940
Do it. And so I did. So I go to tell Colonel Williams, can't find Colonel Williams. He's been

414
00:44:50,940 --> 00:44:57,900
house arrested. And I went, oh, this is, oh, God, this is just Bon Braun, we said it's going to go

415
00:44:57,900 --> 00:45:06,780
bad. So, well, actually I jumped something launch. I'm trying to save time. Man, the launch,

416
00:45:06,780 --> 00:45:12,620
you should sing the launch on this thing. You understand what's happening? This is not solid

417
00:45:12,700 --> 00:45:17,980
feel. It's not liquid feel. This is the different kind of engine never seen before by man.

418
00:45:18,780 --> 00:45:23,500
We have no idea what it's going to look like. How's going to perform? And I kept telling him,

419
00:45:23,500 --> 00:45:32,380
wait, he'll hear it. It's not going to be something else. The calculations are like here.

420
00:45:32,380 --> 00:45:36,940
But in reality, when we finally got it done, the calculations I felt was curved like this.

421
00:45:37,020 --> 00:45:44,220
The curve was through the ceiling. I missed it a little bit. I'm sorry, just don't have the

422
00:45:44,220 --> 00:45:49,820
brains before it. It's just more than I was expecting. But anyhow, I don't want to skip this

423
00:45:49,820 --> 00:45:56,460
fight because Colonel Williams was so cool about this. We got to rock it on the pad, everybody's gone.

424
00:45:57,020 --> 00:46:02,940
And now it's June 20th, 1971. And on the art bailer, a whole timer from White Sand's

425
00:46:02,940 --> 00:46:09,020
called in said, I was there that day. He's right. It was the only day the entire White Sand's range

426
00:46:09,020 --> 00:46:15,260
was shut down. And everybody was told to stay in the buildings. I said that. I don't know what to

427
00:46:15,260 --> 00:46:20,460
things going to do. I was afraid about something else. And it wouldn't matter if you're in the building.

428
00:46:20,460 --> 00:46:28,700
It's a containment field that didn't hold. We're going to be only a bow and a half from the sun,

429
00:46:29,660 --> 00:46:37,980
a real sun sitting there. So they put to telemetry, everything winds up, to psychotron the fire,

430
00:46:37,980 --> 00:46:42,380
and everything's starting to detonate. And now it moves to what we call internal power,

431
00:46:42,380 --> 00:46:47,180
meaning that the rocket is now separated from us. It's on its own and we can't do nothing about it.

432
00:46:47,180 --> 00:46:52,300
So Colonel Williams, looking out the windows of the blockhouse, and he, I don't know what the time

433
00:46:52,380 --> 00:46:59,420
that David, when did you test the fields? We've been working day and night, seven days a week

434
00:46:59,420 --> 00:47:05,020
for the last 26 months, three weeks, two days. When I have a time to test the field, this is the test.

435
00:47:09,260 --> 00:47:15,500
And he goes, I could tell he was, he's very smart, man. And he's looking, what? Well,

436
00:47:15,500 --> 00:47:20,700
if they don't, the fields don't hold, do this. I did a jumping jack. It goes, why?

437
00:47:20,700 --> 00:47:28,220
Look at the flat wall, make a really cool shadow. And he goes, oh God, in the hits the red button,

438
00:47:28,220 --> 00:47:32,460
the tries shed off, and it won't shut down. It's now internal power. And he said,

439
00:47:34,380 --> 00:47:38,140
when you think it's going to happen, it's either going to launch or we're going to make some really

440
00:47:38,140 --> 00:47:44,700
cool shadows. Hey, guys, oh God, hit the button again. And to late, I was saying everything

441
00:47:44,780 --> 00:47:48,460
buildings moving because the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,

442
00:47:48,540 --> 00:47:55,020
like the trons that a hammering out there. So all of a sudden we see a light and it starts out

443
00:47:56,300 --> 00:48:03,340
bright. It starts out bright. But it goes a whole lot brighter. It starts growing in Tennessee,

444
00:48:03,340 --> 00:48:08,540
it's getting so bright. Everybody puts their glasses on, keeps getting brighter. It will get up to

445
00:48:08,540 --> 00:48:16,940
one million candle power per square inch. That's the sun. And I have the, at the bottom of the

446
00:48:17,020 --> 00:48:22,460
rocket, I have the fields extending out below the rocket. So I don't burn the tails, it's

447
00:48:22,460 --> 00:48:31,820
fins off. And it, there's just a massive explosion. This, it's gone as a white streak in this

448
00:48:31,820 --> 00:48:37,980
blast ring coming. And they went, what's that? It's a concussion wave. And it hits us. Now look

449
00:48:37,980 --> 00:48:42,220
out in these poor security guards, only people out there. They're hanging on the cards. They look

450
00:48:42,380 --> 00:48:54,380
like flags in the wind. And I'm going, oh God. And so anyway, the rocket is gone. And the only thing we heard was,

451
00:48:54,380 --> 00:49:02,220
you can't unhere this. It's, I don't even know how to describe it. Screaming angels

452
00:49:02,220 --> 00:49:08,220
with a, with a vibrato wave in a Doppler.
