This was the most ridiculous and least scientific presentation made since the movie 2012. Not only would we be able to create many O'Neill cylinders within the first 20 years, but they would be much larger than 15 miles in length. They wouldn't be built from earth materials, but from lunar and asteroid resources. Try reading Gerry O'Neill's works for a starter.
And destroying the multi-billionaire space ship on the pad? Really? They would very like fund the initial investments on the Moon to get things going. Maybe you should have interviewed Elon Musk, Bill Gates, or Warren Buffett for their opinions.
Finally, travelling across the galaxy, even to nearby Barnard's star, would be absurd. Why jump into yet another gravity well with all the disadvantages and none of the advantages of living in space? Seriously? Producers Bruce David Klein, Lorri Leighton, Bill McClane, writer Bill McClane, and all you editors, you should be ashamed of this level of absolute garbage! And to the National Geographic Channel, if this is how you spend my subscription money, stop it!
