Amy Shira Teitel Instagram – Acoustic Kitty was a real program. The surgery to give the cat all the necessary implants took and hour and a half, and ended with them being a living little radio transmitter. The one kitten released on a mission was meant to listen in on suspected Soviet spies, but it never made it. I have a longer piece about Acoustic Kitty on my YouTube channel for those interested!
The Cold War fascinates me because it was this prolonged period where it was all brainstorming and there are no bad ideas in brainstorming, right? Except OF COURSE THERE ARE! I love digging into weird history, especially history made of science and technology. #author #history #coldwar | Posted on 22/Mar/2024 19:25:39
