Apollo Astronauts Trained in This Crater
zhlédnutí 2,2KPřed měsícem
Welcome to central Nevada, about 70 miles east-northeast of Tonopah, far from the hustle and bustle of city life this is the Lunar Crater. Near the famous Extraterrestrial Highway, its rugged terrain appears otherworldly. This 430 foot deep crater was once used as the training ground for Apollo missions in the 1970s because of the similarity between this landscape and the terrain on the moon. J...
Why Did Pioneers Build These Structures??
zhlédnutí 2,1KPřed měsícem
In the early 1870s, pioneers and settlers made their way through the rugged Nevada terrain, passing through Cave Valley on their way to the bustling railroad town of Toano. It was here that two wagon drivers, William Ballinger and John Henry, stumbled upon a rich deposit of silver ore while searching for their grazing oxen. Their discovery would soon transform this arid basin into the Ward Mini...

If Ft. Ord was one of the Army's premier training bases, why wasn't it updated? It already looked like a product of the 40s, 50s in the 70s and 80s.
Also whiteman speedway which is now whiteman airport
6’6” isn’t really really tall but back then were the people shorter in stature ?
Interesting report. Amazing how things have changed in 100 years, I can’t imagine what the next hundred will bring.
Why … are … you … talking …. So …. Slowwwwwwww
Crazy. I never knew about those arrows! I work for UPS the qst competition for the post office. We use the hub & spoke system and have next day air! No DC-3s still tho
Very interesting! Good report.
Glad you enjoyed it!
So $25,000 in todays monry is about $711,500
No mention of the savage new cultures moving in to clear the forest cover and replacing it with industrial agriculture!
What Giants fitting that little bitty a** cave
Their furniture was still there I saw it
Wrong. The lovelock cave is where they found duck hunting decoys and gear perfectly in tact
If they were "Giants" then eating the Paiute people would not make them cannibals. They would be predators. Just saying if you are gonna make videos about reginal oral mythology use the correct terminology. Just saying. Not mad about it I actually like content like this. Mythology from older cultures is always fascinating to me!
Way to block the view wi😂th your crappy text.
According to Paiute oral history, the Si-Te-Cah or Sai'i are a legendary tribe of red-haired cannibalistic giants. Mummified remains of a man 6 feet 6 inches (1.98 m) tall were discovered by guano miners in Lovelock Cave in 1911.[4]: 168 Adrienne Mayor writes about the Si-Te-Cah in her book, Fossil Legends of the First Americans.[12] She suggests that the 'giant' interpretation of the skeletons from Lovelock Cave and other dry caves in Nevada was started by entrepreneurs setting up tourist displays and that the skeletons themselves were of normal size. About 100 miles (160 km) north of Lovelock there are plentiful fossils of mammoths and cave bears, and their large limb bones could easily be thought to be those of giants by an untrained observer. She also discusses the reddish hair, pointing out that hair pigment is not stable after death and that various factors such as temperature, soil, etc. can turn ancient very dark hair to a rusty-red color.
Habeas corpus- show me the proof
The acid in the poop would of bleached out any hair colour. Another dumb video.
Bones were recovered, at least one giant femur was presented to multiple assemblies, and then, the Smithsonian came to collect the bones. And, of course, as in every other story about giant remains, “there are no records of bones from Lovelock Cave.”😮
Don't believe everything you see online.
I remember buying a super Nintendo from the saugus speedway flea market
So ..They don't...
Great video
Thanks!
Eventually, this civilization will be gone and the river flow unobstructed again.
Desert rats
This reminds me of the myth of the Giant of Kandahar.
Thats were id move then to get away from people!
Crazy. I had no idea that region was once lush & productive! Love how well preserved the site is.
Environmental Protection Agency needs to be charged with fixing the problems, not just shutting folks down.
Great narration only you need to pronounce Tonopah correctly which is tone-uh-paw. ❤❤❤
More people are coming to realize that The US is a third world country! It is actually worst off than many other third world countries!
Wow. EPA shuts down due to leaking tanks while fracking has decimated underground water down the east coast thanks to a Dick Cheney driven exemptions in regulations for his Halliburton buddies. USA is messed up.
Wow one thing is closed and the others follow. The symbiotic relationship was destroyed
There are so many small towns everywhere in the US like this
Coaldale is still an active town on Alberta with a population of over 8000 in 2016
Wrong Coaldale.😮
Very cool except for the big yellow captions dead center
There is more to it than just leaking fuel tanks.
Omfg. This is real life Radiator Springs from Disney's movie Cars. Sad.
Sad.
I used to drive this area frequently when the town was still somewhat active. Never stopped but now wish I would have.
I was born in tonopah
Simple ,there was nothing left to do 😢
😮😮
Really interested in western Nevada - Reno, Minden, Pyramid Lake, Black Rock, etc. Good luck.
👍
Nice work
Thanks
Great documentary I would have never heard of this place. It's a shame how people tag it up
been to ascott, riverside, and saugus. when california was great.
There was LEGION ASCOT RACEWAY in the town of EL SERENO from 1924 -1936
Great video! Maybe do one of all the drag strips if you are up to it.
Thank you! I am working on a part two for this video that will include some drag strips! Coming soon
