Support Our Channel : https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm "Holloman -- Frontier of the Future" tells the story of the Air Force Missile Development Center at Holloman, New Mexico. The Air Force Missile Development Center and its predecessors were Cold War units that conducted and supported numerous missile tests using facilities at Holloman. The film features rare footage of the Holloman / White Sands test range, home to various test and research programs by defense contractors. Falcon Missiles are being shown tested aboard an F-102 fighter / interceptor, using a remotely-operated B-17 target drone. A Matador surface to surface missile is also shown being tested. Dr. John Paul Stapp's historic rocket sled tests, are also seen, with Dr. Stapp speaking to the camera about the Sonic Wind high speed test. High altitude tests are shown in a chamber that can replicate conditions at high altitudes, and Project Manhigh is shown with a test subject soaring to the threshold of space -- 18 miles high. Manhigh was a pre–Space Age military project that took men in balloons to the middle layers of the stratosphere. The Aerobee rocket is also shown being tested. Incidentally, the work at Holloman and in particular by Dr. John Paul Stapp helped inspire the film "On the Threshold of Space" made in 1956. A great history of the research era depicted in this film is the book "The Pre-Astronauts" by author Craig Ryan; and those interested in learning about Dr. John Paul Stapp and how he may have helped discover what we now know as "Murphy's Law", read author Nick Spark's book "A History of Murphy's Law" available on Amazon.com Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed.
