Almost History

What if ... ? It is one of history's most gripping and dangerous questions. Sometimes the most interesting history is the one that didn't actually happen. Every other Thursday, Almost History tells the amazing true stories behind the aborted missions, cancelled plans, utopian dreams and hubristic designs that didn't quite make it from the drawing board to the real world. Rescued from the footnotes, archives and passing references, each episode explores what almost happened and explains why it didn't.
