    The Space Race worked because it was perfectly packaged for the media (Sputnik “beep beep”, Apollo 11, etc). Very visual. Exciting for laymen to discuss. Research would move 10X faster if scientists had more Hollywood in them.

        From last weekend - are capital, technology, founder determination or public narrative the biggest hurdle for moonshots? I think hollywood creates public desire equal to billions in new capital. magic leap, ethereum, tesla, ... the mac in 1984. cc @sthallaba

        After traveling to a few countries, I was reminded how much the presence of English in the developed world must be because of Hollywood as well.

        Well there was also the very real threat of nuclear war and an actual Cold War going on. The product is far more important than marketing in this case ;)

        This perception is widespread but ultimately wrong. Hollywood support for a tech drives it into military-industrial black-budget utopia, decoupling it from competitive pressures. If the Space Race narrative was so effective, why are you still stuck on Earth? 😮

        And consider the following: I am literally quoting a three-star general of the Air Force who literally came to Hollywood to tell us that Space Race narratives are garbage.

        The Space Race worked because of fear. Sitting on the brink of a possible nuclear war, it was an outlet for both nation's to gain a strategic foothold and show technical superiority. Fear + competition + carte blanche funding = Space Race

        You are closer to the truth than you know. You are correct to say that it was all perfectly packaged for the media, but did it happen - that’s another question

        Agreed. I worked for many years providing visual services to scientists and was always amazed by the resistance to this truth which seems so obvious to me.

        When you said "worked" you're referring to having enough funding and social approval, right? What kind of Hollywood are you referring? Series? Films? Sci-fi already exists and funding don't raise.

        Most of science is learning from failure over longer periods of time which is incredibly frustrating and the experiments usually at very small scale (aside from LIGO, CERN, some physics exp). I wonder how you would counter these two points for Hollywood to take it on?

        Often why sales and marketing are the most important skills that an engineer can have (after meeting a certain threshold of technical competence, of course)
