Great first video. Interesting partisan politics throughout - from the scripted "citizen" comments at 2:25 to repeated narrator comments, the theme is that 1946-53/4 was time lost to the Russians. The Dems under Truman let the Sovs win the race, IOW, and now Ike is making shit happen.

2:50 Never assemble electronics without a massive dead ash hanging from your smoke.
6:50 Russia, not hampered by having to police the world!
11:40 Look, we're working so hard on this that we're smoking lots!
12:15 Loss Angle-less
13:05 New business model jargon, ca. 1958! "Management philosophy of concurrency"! Note how the new approach soars over the pesky study and test phases like an awesomely destructive H-bomb-bearing ICBM!
22:30 "C'mon Baby. C'mon, Honey. Pick up." It sounds like Elvis phoning Priscilla.
26:28 "The Red Bear has propelled himself into space. Let not the American Eagle stand with clipped wings." But not the armadillo.

It is interesting that they call it "offence control".

Gingrich was a young man in this one.

Around the time of that last video Carl Sagan got into the act.
