Historical precedent . 1918 is the one that comes to mind. And we have nobody better to tell us about 1918 than my good friend christopher nichols. He is a professor of history at oregon state. Hes also director there. Oregon state center for the humanities and founder of their citizenship and crisis initiative. He also studied at harvard, waysleyan and at the university of virginia. Chris is an expert on, i would say, earliest parts of the 20th century. Of course, is he expanding out. He and i, before we came on, were just chatting about new work we have coming out on ideologies on u. S. Foreign policy. That book itself, that term, that title, was a seminole book in the field in 1987. Im really glad someone has decided to go in and update it, shall we say. Theres no better person to do it than chris. Will he talk to us about the 1918 pandemic. I would encourage you, as you look at your zoom screen, on the bottom youll see a q a button.

Good afternoon. This hearing is called to order. Very pleased to see a hearing on s. T. E. M. And math and science and precision as starting precisely at 2 30 and 0 seconds. That is an auspicious way to begin this discussion. Earlier this year on one of the hottest nights of the summer, nearly a half Million People crowded on to the national mall.

No, instead a half Million People went there drenched in sweat to watch the story of the apollo 11 mission as it was projected on to the washington monument, commemorated the moment 50 years ago when Neil Armstrong and buzz aldrin took that giant leap for man kind. As everyone in d. C. Knows, if there are a half Million People on the mall and it aint a protest, Something Big is going on. And landing the first humans on the moon and returning them safely to earth marks as one of the epical moments in the history
Hottest nights of the summer, nearly half a Million People crowded on to the national mall. They were not there for a protest or to celebrate a National Holiday and they were not there for a concert or to watch a fireworks show. No, instead half a Million People went there drenched in sweat to watch the story of the apollo 11 mission as it was projected on to the Washington Monument commemorating the neal 50 years ago when armstrong and buzz aldrin took that giant leap for mankind. If there is half a Million People on the lawn and it is not a protest, Something Big is going on. Land on the moon and returning safely to earth marks as one of the epical moments in the history of mankind. What we see now is very different than the landscape of 1969. Not only did we succeed going to moon and back again but we have gone on to put robotic rovers on distant planets and are k literally peer into the beginningings of the universe and we have established a human presence in lower earth orbit.
