Johns Hopkins Science Review A Must See For NASA Fans

The core of the Dumont Network was really a series of TV stations owned by Allan B Dumont, the network's owner. Stations were located in New York, Pittsburgh, and Washington. To save costs while garnering programming for the network, Dumont looked to these stations to create shows that could be used on the network. One such show was the Johns Hopkins Science Review, made by Dumont's Washington station. On TVS History.Com you can watch an episode of this series from the early 1950's that had the legendary Dr. Werner Von Braun predicting how our space program would develop. Be prepared to be amazed as his concepts are incredibly close to what we actually did more than a decade later. Great TV history, and another reason why TV4U.Com is quickly becoming more of a cultural event than just an entertainment video portal.
