Sure, it sounds like it's narrated by the MCP from TRON (I suppose to evade copyright, I just pitch shifted up by 1), but it's so cool. It's got early CG graphics, stock footage, Ronald Reagan, and crazy ideas. A few things don't jive, like showing 1960s Sprint footage for a 1980s system and calling the NPB "negative" particles, but whatevs. Found the earliest footage of the Brilliant Pebbles kill vehicle, I remember seeing that amazing footage in the '90s but I had never heard the hooting and hollering of, I suppose, the engineers. https://youtu.be/lo2JJycxR0w?t=1307 I'm still looking for the footage of the neutral particle beam slicing through several targets simultaneously, while the boring old laser had to punch through them one at a time. I like the bonkers physics behind all this. |
