1955 Cold War Radar Built In The Arctic! How!?

📡 Project 572: The Forgotten Arctic Radar System That Protected North America
In the heart of the Cold War, Bell Labs, Western Electric, and the U.S. military launched one of the most ambitious engineering projects in history: a frozen wall of radar stations stretching across the Arctic to detect incoming Soviet bombers. It was called Project 572, and it became known to the world as the DEW Line — the Distant Early Warning system.

In this video, I react to the original AT&T archival film about Project 572, breaking down the insane logistics, technology, and legacy behind this forgotten chapter of Cold War history.

🧠 Built before satellites
❄️ Constructed in Arctic permafrost
🔧 Engineered by Bell Labs and Western Electric
🇺🇸🇨🇦 Operated jointly by the U.S. and Canadian military

This is more than just a documentary reaction — it’s a tribute to a time when innovation meant something. When companies built for the future, not just for profit.
