    How much power could the Ku Klux Klan have gotten?

    The Ku Klux Klan are quite a prominent movement that dates back to the late 1860s with the first movement which died out in the late 1870s, it was recreated back in 1915 with the now infamous cross burning and white robes being donned, peaking at an astonishing number between three and six...

    Get the MCU before 2008

    I am apart of that 99.999999% but good point, I read that the acting and script were praised but the CGI was panned.

    Get the MCU before 2008

    Would it be possible to get an alternate decision back in the late 90s to have Marvel make their own films than license certain characters to other studios for production. I will give examples of characters that could have a film made about them that could be used for the jumping off point for...

    Any possible ways to have the XF-85 Goblin enter production in a reconnaissance or jet fighter role?

    Yes, but it's practicality has dwindled substantially since planes today move at twice the speed those in the 50s did. An F-15 would outclass a Goblin in every aspect.

    Any possible ways to have the XF-85 Goblin enter production in a reconnaissance or jet fighter role?

    I think the XF-85 could be redesigned with landing gears, by getting rid of the intake which IMO was a massive hazard and having vents at the back and sides. This could free up space and allow landing gears to be added, I already gave my ideas on where the cameras could go if it put into a...

    Possible ways to keep Battlestar Galactica (1978) going for at least three years?

    Cutting the cost possibly by half or a quarter to 500 or 750k would help out a lot.

    Where the Goblin was replaced with the RF-84K Thunderflash?

    Any possible ways to have the XF-85 Goblin enter production in a reconnaissance or jet fighter role?

    Wasn't made to be a reconnaissance plane, likely on the bottom of the wings and angled toward the bottom of the fuselage.

    Any possible ways to have the XF-85 Goblin enter production in a reconnaissance or jet fighter role?

    The XF-85 "Goblin" was created by McDonnell Aircraft to be a parasitic aircraft utilized by modified Convair B-36 to defend it from enemy fighter jets. It was cancelled after numerous tests and seven total flights showed that docking the jet back into the bomber required near veteran skill to do...

    Possible ways to keep Battlestar Galactica (1978) going for at least three years?

    Could we please go back on topic instead of discussing the show itself?

    Possible ways to keep Battlestar Galactica (1978) going for at least three years?

    Please help me with this if possible as I know practically nothing about ratings and how they equate to money, but this is my assumption: Low estimate for use of TV=1.83 dollars a month or 15 cents, high being 9.13 dollars a month. It would require a total of seven million people watching an...

    Possible ways to keep Battlestar Galactica (1978) going for at least three years?

    Reportedly one million per episode, and the plagiarism could have been lifted or settled earlier or not done at all.

    Possible ways to keep Battlestar Galactica (1978) going for at least three years?

    So push the date of it's premier from September 17th to the next possible date? Sending all the ABC executives to that one Indian island with the untouched aggressive tribe would be good enough :).

    Possible ways to keep Battlestar Galactica (1978) going for at least three years?

    Battlestar Galactica was a show conceived by Glen Larson and Donald Bellisario in late 1978, with the idea having been around since the late 60s. The show ran for little over seven months, having been canceled as a result of ratings never getting higher than 28 percent in ratings and the MASSIVE...

    Ray Kroc dies in 1954 from massive stroke or heart attack

    Raymond Kroc was a businessman and philanthropist, most famous for joining the McDonald's restaurant as a franchise agent in 1955. We all know what happened as a result of that, with one of the world's biggest corporations existing today. But what if it didn't happen? What if Raymond Kroc died...

    How hot can the Cold War get without turning into full on nuclear war.

    Nuclear annihilation is nearly inevitable if even one is launched. But I would say a more U.S and Soviet involved Afghan War, and a Macarthur like strategy is concocted in the Korean war, resulting in a war with China, but I think that's stretching it. I am ignoring the Cuban Crisis as it was as...
