During the Second World War, the Allies were desperate to develop ideas to help them win the war.
Some of these ideas, such as the atomic bomb and the Norden bombsight, were so promising that they warranted investments of staggering amounts, reaching into the millions and billions of dollars.

However, there was one idea that seemed crazy, but it actually got attention at the highest levels of government.
Learn more about Project Habakkuk and the idea of making an aircraft carrier out of ice on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
