A few years back it was all US Civil War and WWII. So I predict a program on how the ghost of Lincoln helped crack the Enigma code soon.
Bah, Einstein cracked the Enigma code. He simply went into the future...
We watched a "Top Shot" marathon yesterday (not a bad show, even if you're not a gun nut.) They had some promo about Aliens and the pyramids or something.
I wish I could remember who it was who went on the rant: "Oooh, people could
never have built the Pyramids... WHY NOT? It's a PILE OF ROCKS!"
IIRC, It all started with a contractor insisting that it couldn't be done with today's technology. If the interviewer would have offered more money for the job, I'm sure it would have become more possible.
Plus, the original was a government contract. Those are a lot harder to turn down.

... having watched some episodes again myself recently. I remember the original show from 30 years ago, but not that well.
I worry about NdGT not being assertive enough/too polite to put the science view first and foremost, the way Sagan did.
But I worry even more about the fact that the "new" Cosmos will air on ... Fox.
