Oh.... you have no idea, it runs deep with me, believe me.

Those were quite fun to watch. I miss the old History Channel when content actually mattered.

Clark did not invent any satellite. He came up with the concept of GeoSync Com. Huge difference.

You would be correct if you considered Clark one of the earlier orbitologists.

But Subsim is the font of all wisdom, especially the Grand Theatrics sub forum.

It may surprise you to learn that my opinion is sourced to many places,
not just subsim radiorooms. But subsim is among the great places on the
web for debate. Also its my favorite.

The original premise...
Greatest feat of military engineering in the twentieth century.
Clarification needed.
Are we talking engineering for the military or by the military, such as Combat Engineers or Seabees?

The Romans developed a method of building driven pile bridges over rivers that is still used today in one form or another.
Like the Baily bridge which wasn't really developed or engineered by the military. Just a private contractor who engineered the thing to military supplied specs.

Would the Manhattan Project count?

Buddahaid · 08-31-14, 08:18 PM

How about Marsden Matting?

Buddahaid · 08-31-14, 11:03 PM

Steam catapult. "The use of steam to launch aircraft was suggested by Commander Colin C. Mitchell RNVR,[9] and trials on HMS Perseus".

You'd have to say airborne radar is up there. Until then night flying yet alone fighting was a dice roll.
