I was a child growing up in the Air Force, my dad was a M. S.
He woke me up in the middle of the night, took the entire family outside.
He pointed out a moving pinpoint of light in the sky.
He said it was a thing called Telstar, a satellite in orbit that would change the world.
He was right.
Bloomberg shorts are becoming my favorite on youtube
Thanks for watching! We appreciate the feedback.
Another fun(?) fact: high atmospheric nuclear testing (Starfish Prime) was responsible for disabling Telstar in 1962
I was about to ask about that, so thanks for answering in advance!! ^_^
I'm getting chills watching this. Simply Amazing. Thank you, Bloomberg.
$25 million in today's money? A single Falcon 9 launch will cost upwards of $50m...
Jamie S thats more than a century ago. Consider inflation
Bossnian “In today’s money”
Well the technology was way less sophisticated so I would imagine that's the reason why it's so much cheaper
I'm pretty sure that's not actually adjusted for inflation
If it isn't, the cost was about $200m, which sounds far more realistic
Ben Graham The video literally said “in today’s money” so it was likely closer to a few million dollars in the 60s. Which is possible since a modern rocket is presumably a lot more complex, and NASA is a gov agency so some of the cost back then may have been subsidized.
the things we take for granted!
*fake
huehuehuehue
Space duck You filthy duck .... ;)
My grandmother turned 87 this year, I can't imagine the technological, scientific, cultural etc changes she must've witnessed!
SuicideBunny6 , even the people born in the 90s have seen so much difference
Meetbeeppeeb Born in the 80s, perhaps. They will be the last (and only) generation to grow up during the birth of the Internet.
@@Sanjeet_28 I'm from '94 myself, but I feel I've basically grown up in the internet age, I haven't known much else. People from the 80s and earlier have experienced it more consciously I meant
Fun fact: Each time zone in America has it's own TV schedule
Another fun fact: USA has 4 time zone.
@@ramade9040 Actually, the USA has 6 time zones...
Nitpick:
American terrestrial television actually has three time zones. Networks observed that people in the Central and Mountain Time zones tended to sleep earlier than the urbanites on the coast.
On a typical evening, the original broadcast is shared in the Eastern and Central zones - at 6:00 pm EDT, most local stations have their news at 6 if in the ETZ and 5 if in the CTZ, they air simultaneously.
Prime Time is 8-11 in ETZ while CTZ sees them at 7-10. Again, these are simultaneous. Same with 11pm news in ET and 10pm in CT.
A second feed runs an hour later to deliver the same schedule at 7pm Mountain.
Finally, a third feed runs two more hours later to show the programs at 8 pm in the more urbanized Pacific Time Zone.
US network affiliates in Alaska, Hawaii and Guam tape the programs and play them when they want (last I knew).
@@VideoAmericanStyle Correct: Hawaii, Alaska, Pacific, Mountain, Central, and Eastern.
It's so funny that a pioneer in the idea of orbital satellites, Arthur C. Clarke, was laughed at for suggesting his farfetched ideas to space agencies. And what's more, his name wasnt even mentioned once in this video.
I remember on my estate where I grew up in the early 80's my friends dad got Satellite tv, it had a hydraulic arm on the dish, could get over 500 channels, was amazing back then
July 10, 1962-July 10, 2022:
60th anniversary of the launch of the Telstar 1 telecommunications satellite from Cape Canaveral, Fla., U.S.A.
60 years on! Time flies!
Now you are only a button away from a global livestream of you on Facebook...
Wow....
Which is indicative of how late the hour is. The Bible prophesies that the antichrist will be able to livestream his desecrating the Jewish temple and that can only be possible with technology of today.
@@sambee4927 Does the bible prophesies which platform the apocalypse will be live streamed on? Twitch? Or Facebook live?
In fairness it wouldn't surprise me if the Antichrist was a streamer
AT&T legit built the first Death Star.
No, notwithstanding your Star Wars reference, it built a peace star. Thanks to greater communication between the nations of man they made the world a smaller place and increase its interconnectedness.
MisterZ3r0 why so serious lmao
3:08 "Let's give all the baseball fans in Europe a big hello from Chicago", lol the speaker must have never been to Europe......
I'm sure there are dozens of baseball fans in Europe! Dozens!
I remember watching the 20 minute special demonstration of satellite television across the country and world. It was a big deal.
It's called "Telstar" and looks and sound surprisingly like the "Death Star"
NASA is ploting something.
Agamemnom Thanatos Let the theories roll!
*_To this day, television is getting stronger than before... until the Internet take place..._*
Mr. Friendship you mean weaker everyday
Absolutely INSANE to think that this was only less than 60 years ago. Today, the average 5 year old has a smartphone that is literally millions of times better. What's even crazier is that think about technology being a million times better than what we have today, and it won't take 60 years to happen.
Unfortunately, it's kind of heartbreaking that in the present there are idiots who forsake all these hard earned gains to call this all a sham, spitting in the face of all the hardworking minds that brought us these in the modern age: Flat Earthers.
I named my WiFi after this satellite
1:31 DISCOOOOO
Death Star
Wasn't Arthur C. Clarke famous for, aside from being a writer, thinking up communication satellites in the '40's?
Thank you for mentioning him; I've probably never heard of him and just looked up his name at the English Wikipedia version and was surprised and truly impressed by this man's visions.
Including thoughts on the GPS, the Internet and mobile phones usable for global communication.
A profound concept that changed the world - but it was actually some pretty simple math.
Your videos are awesome Bloomberg!
thank you Arthur C. Clark
who the hell still watches tv? it's full of adverts and propoganda
Cosmic well local news and weather information is still very important,
Not to mention all of those local advertisers who sell there stuffs on local television,
And that helps support the local economy as well as provides income to the employees of those businesses;
So somebody’s got to pay for the local air time,
And if the local merchants run commercials in order to sale there wears,
It supports the local television stations and in turn the local community will be enticed into buying whatever that local merchant has to sale,
And that way the local merchant can pay the rent and pay there employees and those employees can pay taxes and be able to live as well as be a part of that community;
It’s definitely an economic system that is very important to the local community;
Small businesses are definitely the life blood of our country;
My hats off to all of those small businesses all over the country that take the risks as well as dedicate there lives in order to be successful ;
It’s the American dream 👍
Well, what's the difference with the Internet ? It's also full of adverts and propaganda.
I still watch TV, as well as I use the Internet, listen to radios, read the newspapers,...each media has its own strenghts.
also the news are kinda bullshit most of the timd
This is a very nice video Bloomberg.. Good n thanks 👍🏿😃🙏
The Telstar spacecraft is identical to the Death Star in Star Wars. Coincidence?
I cant believe they just ripped off the death star plans without giving credit to George lucas.
Hey, what about the first woman in space? Russia beat us to that, and we didn't even know we were racing.
For anyone interested - much of the archive footage appearing here comes from ‘Telstar!’ (1962), a documentary film produced by Bell and available here on UA-cam. Search for the AT&T archives
the tv is amazing
4:26 there is a typo in Vostok 1 name, it can`t anyhow be Volstok 1, lol
ATT beat the Soviets to the punch. ATT, for god's sake.
I worked for the Bell System prior to, and after the break-up. AT&T was the greatest. AT&T provided all the communications for Gemini and Apollo missions. Bell Labs invented LASER & transistor. Bell Researchers discovered the background radiation that support the Big Bang Theory.
AT&T was THE telecommunications company of the United States and by extension one of the largest private research labs in the world. Learn a little history, bud.
@@Misterz3r0 The purpose of this comment was to highlight the irony that the Soviet government was beaten not by the American government but by a private company, which communism tried so hard to espouse the ineffectiveness of. Yes, I know what a scientific juggernaut Bell Labs was. They invented the transistor. That's not my point. The point is that communism was trounced by the capitalist dogs that they hated.
More spacey stuff pl0x.
Oh, I was starting to get worried when the Japanese Emperor said "I declare [...]"
Why hasn't it fallen out of orbit so many years after launch?
I remember the first transmission.
Zero Blues I remember when your mom was born
I love this series ❤️
So, for the first "transatlantic TV show", it was only US content sent to Europe ?
Talk about Americanization of culture...
It's Vostok not Volstok
CGI is great and please show me a satellite in low earth orbit
nowadays, we have UA-cam.
Background music?
i read this as how tesla changed everything XD
death star... mini?
I have a feeling that the Death Star is inspired by this satelite
All this technology went into stopping Godzilla🦖😱🌎
It's a shame that we didn't restrict the use of communication satellites to communicating long-distance with each other, instead of trying to live in each others' countries, causing most of the problems we see today. Multiculturalism has never worked, and it never will. So we can look forward to another massive war in the near future.
Mankind has really come a long way.
God i love the 1960s
Waiting for Amazon to deliver my packages not by drones, but by satellites
-_- space trash
baby deathstar
Social Credit Score: -ve Infinity ♾️
they aired the baseball game to European who loves football? lol
Someday, a space archaeologist will grab that first communications satellite and bring it back down to be put in a museum.
Extraordinary world in which we live!
*looks at the thumbnail*
So they are building a Death Star that doesn’t destroy planets nice
YA KAYA.
but, the fiber optic still the king
space junks providers
"AT&T funded it." LOL

Days before I was Born on July, 25th 1962.
That’s my Birthday
USSR:
.First Satellite in space
.First animal in space
.First man in space
America: Went to the moon
Winner: *aMeRiCa*
Don’t be jealous
TheLewisma I’m not jealous I just don’t think it’s inaccurate to call America the winner of the space race when the USSR has had more achievements.
You dont think. Then go and google which countrie mapped Mars,moon. Then go google how many people were on moon here is for you (11and all US citizens). Then go gooogle which country find new galaxies and earth type planets. Then google which country made most of cosmic breaktroughs. Ruskiss just send some shitty sputnik and thats. US on the other hand making history right now , country younger then alot of churches. And I just said here couple of cool facts. There are thousands of US breaktroughs in everywhere.
Exactly USA #1
Malacki 655 you can be the first to get to meter 999, but the first to get to the 1 km line wins the race
it was a big deal for hank marvin too
5:18 ... 25 million $$ a launch at this era..... at&t has been drowning in money for time
tv is getting extinct by day so this video as a tribute?
You've never seen the exit of a Best Buy or Wal-Mart recently, every half-minute someone is carrying a big flat screen out the exit door.
@@1L6E6VHF --- but probably not to watch cable TV, more likely Netflix or gaming. Nobody watches cable anymore and UA-cam is already doing an ala cart TV service.
@@1L6E6VHF that could be for playing xbox and playstation
@@auro1986
Videogamers prefer old CRT sets because flatscreen sets produce a time delay that causes shots to miss their targets.
They're dirt cheap, too.
@@1L6E6VHF you are only about 10 years out of date with that info. I think what you mean is crt screens used to give higher refresh rates back when lcd screens were primitive. Now any TV from a store has a much higher refresh rate let alone oled or other liquid crystal screens. I haven't seen a CRT TV in stores for at least a decade...
The brainwashing machine.
Evil is made by human, not the technology.
@@MajorColin Technology is made by humans though.
Space garbage
👌👍. Let's turn them off for few hours.. it should be fun..
