But not just the space race took its toll. The pioneer state soon faced a major crisis. Preparing humanity’s greatest mission, several setbacks robbed the golden state its wings.

Part 2:  Of revolts and revolutions

But the birth of Silicon Valley and the digital revolution bring the pioneer state back on track in the 1970s. Shaken by an oil spoil and the ongoing race riots, the birth of Silicon Valley resurrects the revolutionary spirit of California in the 1970s. In the midst of social unrest, California is creating a place that will change the world forever.
