He needs to see this
Thanks!
The White House decided that Secretary of Space was too vague and Secretary of the Colonies was too un-American. Secretary of the Frontier hit a nice sweet spot.
Like Kissinger, he cut his teeth in the academic world of international relations before making his way into government.
Bill Clinton as a comedian, Obama as a science guy, and Neil DeGrasse Tyson as Secretary of the Frontier. Simply brilliant.
Just wait until I finish Bill Nye.
The Campaign Trail is back! I played as Humphrey, and took a number of gambles. I made Fred Harris my running mate, was decisive on ending Vietnam, called Nixon chicken over the debates, threw my weight behind the Great Society and cried fowl over the Peace Talks collapse. And it all paid off.

And another from AJND, General Bill Nye, the father of the modern United States Rocket Force. He was a controversial figure during the war, often quarreling publicly with the Durant administration. While he was often blamed for the end of World War III, modern historians often view him more favorably, particularly as he sought to make the Rocket Force into its own branch.
Thank you. I may be posting more snippets from the primordial ooze that is my timeline idea sometime later.
ITTL, Russia had a hard time occupying Abkhazia and South Ossetia thanks to these guys;
Bracken over Socialism
Following the passage of the Health Insurance and Diagnosis Act in 1962, which funded 50% of the cost for any province which adopted it, Prime Minister Power, 74 years old, announced his retirement, beginning a leadership race to succeed him and to keep the Liberals in power. The proposed frontrunner of the campaign, United Nations ambassador Lester B. Pearson, surprised pundits when he announced he would not seek the Premiership, which allowed Cabinet Minister Paul Martin Sr. to easily secure a first ballot victory over fellow cabinet minister James Sinclair. The Tories defeat in the last election meant that they had replaced the increasingly paranoid John Diefenbaker with the more pragmatic and personally popular former military officer George Harris Hees, a man many Conservatives saw as a perfect candidate to send the Liberals back to the wilderness of the opposition benches. Much as former Prime Minister John Bracken had done in 1951, the election would only be called at the last possible moment.
The focus of the campaign became the government’s track record, which under Paul Martin had no major legislative accomplishments aside from the brief proposal to change the Canadian flag, an idea which was quickly shelved by the Liberal Leader in order to avoid further controversy. Much as Diefenbaker had done in the previous elections Hees proposed the necessity of a Bill of Rights, and advocated for the possibility to patriate the Constitution. The results of the election proved to be the most stunning, if not the most controversial upset in Canadian political history, for while pollsters had accurately predicted that the Tories would win the popular vote, they had failed to win more seats than the Liberals. Worse, George Hees had failed to hold onto his own seat, which set the Conservatives back as they prepared to bring down the minority Martin government.

Most of that three years was fighting in the northern mountains NK fell in 3 months
