This video was sponsored by Hungry Minds. If you'd like a copy of THE BOOK go to https://bit.ly/4qYEyfG and use code FASCINATING10.
In this video I go month by month through the year 1999, covering the biggest, weirdest and most memorable things that happened, from a bunch of failed space missions to the Y2K problem...
Fascinating History posts weekly videos about infamous flops, failures and mistakes from throughout history... and whatever other weird stories from the past catch my eye. Thanks for watching!
