A note on interviews: I spoke to over a dozen former Nortel employees for this series and those conversations provided many insights you'll hear throughout. Because some of the interviewees still work in the industry I have kept all names anonymous. If there is a direct quote with a name attached it's because it was a quote said publicly.

The primary source on all things SSC is the fantastic book "Tunnel Visions", which I used as a blueprint to map out the series. Details involving budgets and congressional votes I accessed from the official government websites, and inflation calculations were done by myself using an online tool. There are a bunch of other documents I read through such as "The Global Research and Development Landscape and Implications for the Department of Defense", "A TIMELINE OF MAJOR PARTICLE ACCELERATORS", "United States nuclear forces, 2019", "High Energy Physics Advisory Panel's Subpanel on Vision for the Future of High-Energy Physics May 1994", "The Intellectual Spoils of War? Defense R&D, Productivity and International Spillovers", "Accessory to War by Neil DeGrasse Tyson", "The Mission" by David W Brown, "The God Particle (The Higgs boson) by Leon Lederman".

Many of the quotes are taken from that book, which used primary interviews and are sourced very extensively. Stuff involving budgets and congress I accessed from the official government websites, including votes on bills and amendments, and inflation calculations were done by myself using an online tool.
