History Channel's really gotten dumber over the years. I couldn't get through the whole thing.
Mind giving an executive summary?

Summary of video lasers are fast, space war is way more fun, people want to crash rockets into things in the future and hon solo couldn't dodge a laser, pretty much shooting down sci fi dreams. Oh and space fighters are ugly.
*Almost forgot really quite in space

Did they ever mention how it's really difficult to vent heat in space or that integrated circuits have high fail rate in space from all the radiation? I would think those two things would be the biggest concern for future space craft.

If theres enough radiation to cause malfunctions in hardened circuitry then why the heck do you have any crew aboard?

Let me clarify a little, any quarter decent hardened electronics can withstand at least 50 Grays, a average human has a fair chance of death above 5 and will enter a coma around 10 before dieing within 24 hours. And im not kidding about the quarter decent thing, I found a SBC (single board computer) with a 1ghz processor from 2002 thats rated for 350 Grays.

And if its a matter of working somewhere naturally extremely radioactive like a nuclear engine, then the question isn't "Can the computer withstand that much radiation?" but rather "Why are you putting it there?!?!"

History channel needs to change the name to "stuff happens and we like to create our own stories on how it happened"

Interesting gave me some good ship disign ideas but all the people who spoke were not very reliable.
