Winston Churchill once said, “Democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.…” Churchill was on to something.

When the United States became independent in the late 18th century, it didn’t have much of a foreign policy. Their primary concern was creating the framework of a country that hadn’t existed before.  However, after a few decades, the United States grew in confidence and eventually asserted its own unique foreign policy objectives.  The objectives eventually coalesced during the administration of President James Monroe, and many of the objectives of this early foreign policy still remain in place today.

In 1887, the German physicist Heinrich Hertz discovered radio waves.  While the first practical use of this discovery was communication, there were also some who realized that radio waves could serve another purpose.  It was possible to use these radio waves to detect objects at a distance. It was something that revolutionized warfare and weather forecasting and might revolutionize consumer technology.  Learn more about RADAR, how it works, and how it was developed on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

During the height of the Second World War, American shipping to Europe was constantly being attacked by German U-boats.  In an attempt to completely bypass German subs, aviation pioneer Howard Hughes began construction on what would be the world’s largest aircraft.  A plane that was so large it could carry 750 passengers or two full-sized tanks across the Atlantic.  Sadly, it was hampered by wartime rationing of metals and only flew in one memorable test flight.

New Year’s Day is not only the day we turn over a new year on the calendar, but also a day where people start resolutions, companies begin new budgets, and everyone screws up writing checks.  While documenting our trips around the sun makes perfect sense, why do we use this day, January 1, as the starting point for our calendar years?

The high cost of space flight was in large part due to the fact that every rocket and spacecraft was expendable.

The Earth is highly imbalanced. Some countries have more resources than others. Some have natural harbors, and some are landlocked. Some consist primarily of deserts, and others have fertile farmland.  Some countries are islands, and some border many other countries.  These differences between countries result in each having a unique set of interests, desires, and abilities. This results in a system we know as geopolitics. Learn more about geopolitics and how geography has shaped the density of countries on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
