we all know the Christomer Club has never set foot

33
00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:35.960
on or even saw America, But according to his long books,

34
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:38.280
it was today. In fourteen ninety two, he changed his

35
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:40.520
original course. Now he had kept on that course, he

36
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:43.960

37
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:45.759
in the history of the Netherlands took place in the

38
00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:46.639

47
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:09.439

48
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:13.120
of scoring football history. Nineteen fifty nine, the Soviet Union

50
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:18.120
back side of the moon, or the far side of

51
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:19.800
the moon. I mean, some people call it the dark

52
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:21.400
side of the moon, but it gets just as much

53
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:24.039
sun light as the side that we see now, the

54
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:26.680
two sides of the moon. They are different though in

55
00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:29.080
appearance wise anyway. That far side of the moon it

56
00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:31.360
is just covered in craters of all different sizes of

57
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:33.120
the whole thing. It doesn't look anything like the side

58
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:36.599
that we see. This record still stands. In nineteen sixty

59
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:39.240

00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:51.400

out as John Cougar because his record company didn't like Mellencamp,

82
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:12.720
but John liked it, so when he got big enough,

83
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:15.759
