The tone of the video seems off the mark to me. Do they want me to feel that the seven minutes they had to wait to find out the results were, well, terrifying? In truth, the fact that they do find out in ONLY seven minutes is itself mind boggling, let alone the fact of their success. How long did it take Europe to find out whether or not Columbus made the crossing?
