Now, he claims to have once launched himself 1,374 feet into the air, which is no small feat. But, their are radio towers and buildings that tall, so I don’t see what he’s going to prove by going up that high.
Spontaneous Human Combustion, is an interesting topic. And while there are some convincing skeptics, there are quite a few of these cases that cannot be explained, no matter how convoluted the explanation.
I must admit, I am a bit confused by this whole “flat-earth” thing. How can you disbelieve something that is so easy to prove? Science isn’t a belief system. It’s all evidence based. Belief never enters into it. It doesn’t need to because it’s about proof.
Yikes, These hair-raising moments are the first video footage from renowned rock climber Alex Honnold’s ascent of the 3,000-foot wall of El Capitan—without a rope. On June 3rd, Honnold became the first person ever to free solo climb this famous rock face at Yosemite National Park, California.
My favorite science fiction TV show is now free to view on the internet. www.go90.com is a website that streams older TV shows and they have the entire run of Babylon 5 online now. This does not seem to include the half dozen TV movies, but that’s okay. The show holds up remarkably well for a 20 year-old show and is worth watching for the amazing performances by Peter Jurasik as Londo and Andreas Katsulas as G’Kar, not to mention the great writting of J. Michael Straczynski.
I have mentioned this lady every year I have been teaching, as I speak about gravity and terminal velocity. In 1972 a young Serbian stewardess on a Yougoslav airline fell 33,000 feet when the plane was blown up by a bomb. She had no parachute, but survived. She held the record for the highest freefall survival in history.
I have never trusted news feeds from social media, and recent evidence has come to light that fake news stories are spread through social media. This article is pretty scary.
I think the rash of NASA and space related films the last few years may come from a longing in this country for a time when, as a nation, we had higher priorities. The American Space program was, in my opinion, one of our country’s finest moments, and I’m thrilled we are finally getting around to telling stories like this.”Hidden Figures” tells the story of three African American mathematicians and scientists who worked in the space program. And particularly the story of Katherine Johnson the physicist who calculated flight trajectories for the Mercury program. I love stories of people who helped build something greater than themselves.
