Скачать или смотреть The Entire History of The Ballistic Missiles

This steel titan weighs thirty-six thousand pounds and stretches sixty feet into the darkness above. Its nuclear warhead carries the explosive power of twenty-three Hiroshima bombs. From this silent tomb, it can reach any target on Earth in thirty minutes.

But how did humanity create weapons capable of crossing continents in the time it takes to eat lunch? How did crude rockets evolve into precision instruments of global destruction? What drives nations to spend billions on missiles that hopefully will never be used?

The story of the ballistic missile spans centuries of human ambition, from dreamers sketching impossible machines to engineers building the ultimate weapons. These projectiles changed everything - how wars are fought, how peace is maintained, how nations negotiate with the constant knowledge that annihilation is always thirty minutes away.

Today, nine countries possess ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear warheads across intercontinental distances. Thousands of these weapons remain on constant alert, their crews ready to turn keys that could end civilization. Yet this same technology that threatens humanity also launched our first steps into space.
