This was during my elementary school days when they taught to duck & cover under our school desk in the event of a nuclear attack by the USSR.
It wasn't until the end of the space shuttle program that we had to thumb a ride to the space station.
Yes indeed, I remember those drills in school.
They seemed to stop in the early 70s.
Not at all. Washington was a brave man.
If Washington isn’t available, I’ll probably vote Constitution party. My state is solidly republican in presidential races, so any major party vote on my part is thrown away. Besides, I can’t think of a single GOP candidate whom I don’t regard with contempt.
Thanks for the link to that article. I like its emphasis a lot, on the need for employers to be pro-active in developing the skills that workers need.
We didn’t have a rocket capable of launching a satellite until the Soviets shocked us into using our pet Nazis. Werner von Braun and the other scientists we got through operation paperclip.
Our first generation of space capable rockets were just V 2’s on steroids.
Once von Braun and his boys were given the keys to the science lab, things really picked up.
Prior to Sputnik, the Army kept the German transplants on a short leash.
As long as the engineers don't do something as stupid as JJ Abrams did in Star Trek and build the thing on the planet's surface.

There was no such drills in the USSR. I wonder what possible action would be for those who survived nuclear strike?
