Who Built American Power? | Wealth, Inequality and the Origins of the 1%

Who Built American Power? | Wealth, Inequality and the Origins of the 1% America was founded in the name of liberty and independence. But from the very beginning, who actually held the economic and political power? This Moconomy documentary traces the roots of wealth and inequality in the United States, from the American Revolution and the merchant elites of colonial Boston to Shays’ Rebellion, debt, banking and the long struggle between those who control resources and those demanding a greater share of economic power. Historians and political thinkers examine how revolutionary ideas about freedom existed alongside slavery, concentrated land ownership and economic privilege — and how movements challenging inequality have repeatedly emerged throughout American history. From the original Boston Tea Party and early battles over debt to Occupy Wall Street and modern campaign finance, the documentary asks whether today’s divide between the 1% and the rest of society is really new — or part of a much older American story.

A quiet Toronto night shattered in seconds. A teenager’s life changed forever. And a single word in court would tilt the balance. Exhibit A takes you inside the Barbara Turnbull case, from a gun shop heist and a masked convenience store robbery to the forensic trail that led detectives to a stolen .357 Colt Python. See how rifling marks, a crushed cartridge, and a water-tank test fire turned a fragile statement case into hard evidence. Step into the lab, the interrogation room, and a jailhouse where a crucial boast slipped out at the worst possible moment. Then hear the survivor’s perspective as one unrehearsed word described the shooter’s stance, raising a pivotal question: accident or intent? This is true crime built on science, not speculation. Watch to discover how investigators connected the bullet, the gun, and the night that changed Toronto—and why one detail mattered more than anyone expected.

Apollo 11's 1202 Alarm, Falcon 9 Platform Attempts, and Gaia's Star Map

From Apollo 11's tense 1202 alarm to SpaceX's early return attempts and ESA's Gaia, this episode traces how spaceflight evolved under pressure and ingenuity. Early on July 16, 1969, more than a million people gathered around Cape Kennedy to witness Apollo 11 lift off, the culmination of a decade aimed at meeting President Kennedy's lunar goal. At the launch center, tension was high as rocket pioneer Werner von Braun and NASA teams prepared the giant Saturn V. Michael Collins, Buzz Aldrin, and mission commander Neil Armstrong brought hard-earned Gemini experience, while unusual simulators and a Langley gantry helped them rehearse lunar gravity. Twelve minutes after liftoff they reached orbit. Trans lunar injection and docking proceeded smoothly as mission control refined navigation alongside the Apollo Guidance Computer. In lunar orbit, the command module became Columbia and the lunar module Eagle. The descent toward a long ellipse in the Sea of Tranquility unfolded in stages. Fuel sloshing muddied guidance, then the computer threw a 1202 alarm. A young software engineer recognized the overload as survivable, and Armstrong used the final phase to
