Hmm I'd rather watch the "1,000,000 firecrackers being lit at once!" videos.

It is truly amazing how fast technology in that field expanded. The astronauts had huge brass ones, but the scientists and others behind the scenes who created the technology and made it work is another matter. In less than one lifetime we as a species went from a rickety airplane flying a few hundred yards at Kitty Hawk to men landing on the moon, and coming back alive.

Understood, but "The Shining" is my all time favorite movie, and I was just looking for some insight. Instead I got a few tidbits mixed with a crapload of lunacy.
