How dangerous were they -- and why do they no longer exist? #history #museumofeverything #zeppelin #flight #aircraft #ww1 #ww2

    10 Greatest Space Missions: Part 1

    Dan and Josh begin a new countdown of the top 10 most important space missions of all time, starting with the back half of the list. They open, as always, with what they’ve been reading—this time a detour through 19th-century travel writing, American manners, Flashman, and George MacDonald Fraser’s gleefully irreverent view of empire, history, and literary adventure. From there, they move into a debate over how space missions should be ranked: technical difficulty, historical importance, astronaut performance, or just excitement. Missions Discussed in This Episode 10. Faith 7 — 00:25:05 — Manual Mercury reentry 9. Apollo 7 — 00:27:59 — Apollo's first manned flight 8. Apollo 9 — 00:31:59 — First LEM flight 7. Apollo 17 — 00:39:39 — Perfect lunar mission 6. Gemini 8 — 00:46:05 — First space docking 5.

    10 Most Beautiful Things: Part 3, the Finale

    Dan and Josh continue their “most beautiful man-made objects in history” series with a wide-ranging honorable-mentions episode. They open with Franz Ferdinand’s travel diaries, hunting, Teddy Roosevelt, Hemingway, Ian Fleming, and Salinger, then return to the beautiful-objects list to cover the great things that did not quite make the top ten. The conversation moves from the Sistine Chapel and Venice to Calder mobiles, cars, aircraft, cathedrals, telephones, firearms, locomotives, gemstones, and Art Deco—arguing throughout about whether beauty comes from proportion, engineering, movement, history, usefulness, or sheer visual power.

    10 Most Beautiful Things: Part 2

    Dan and Josh continue their series on the ten most beautiful man-made objects in history. This time they open not with books but with music—Glenn Gould, Bach, temperament, Beethoven, and the limits of describing music in words—before returning to their lists. The episode ranges from Duccio and Fra Angelico to Bernini, firearms design and engineering, crayons, Gothic glass, and the Saturn V’s mighty F-1 engine, with the usual mix of aesthetic argument, historical digression, and sibling combat.
