How It’s Made – Candy Canes
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

The How It’s Made series is always interesting with items from the commonplace to the rather exotic. I highly recommend the series, particularly if you have some young folks around – you can never tell what might spark a career in Industial Engineering
Love this show. Sometimes how they make the most mundane thing are so fascinating, whereas often making the really cool stuff is actually kind of boring. For example: How an F-16 is made…..yawn. Then watching how aluminum foil is made and I’m absolutely glued to the TV!
“Master Hands” 1936.
Five years later they were “The Arsenal of Democracy”.

“The head of US Steel understands raw-materials, the head of Sears Roebuck understands logistics, and the head of General Motors understands mass-production.”

“The head of US Steel understands raw-materials, the head of Sears Roebuck understands logistics, and the head of General Motors understands mass-production”
Before we pat oueselves on the back, remember the world has changed since then
US Steel no longer exists
Sears is hanging on by its fingernails
GM is only alive by government bailouts because it was “too big to fail”
Col B,
Correction: GM did fail, it went bankrupt.
Anyone who bought shares in it’s golden years was wiped out.
