Movie Reviews of Modern Marvels: Howard Hughes Tech
Movie Review: Incredible Achievements!
Summary: 5 Stars
"Howard Hughes Tech" tells the story of how Howard Hughes went from a pilot and funder of faster propeller planes, to TWA owner, builder of the Spruce Goose (8 engines, designed to carry 750 troops and using hydraulic assisted surface controls), to early builder of Falcon, Phoenix, and Maverick missile systems, leader in satellites (weather, DirectTV, and spy systems), and constructor of military helicopters, the first lunar landing module, and the Glomar Explorer created to retrieve a Soviet submarine in 17,000+ feet of water. Unfortunately, injuries incurred in the crash of his XF-11 led to his overuse of pain medications and acerbated his OCD behaviors. By 1968 he employed 80,000 workers, and was the richest man in America; Hughes died in 1976.
