Just started AI encoding a series of VHS tapes for Rocket Science Engineering classes. I don’t usually have the time watching the encoding, but for the last hour I have slowed it to normal speed and taking notes. I endeavor to take this class and have a crack at the test.

1964 Model kits sold for 98 cents to $2.00, and friction-powered cars went for $1.97. There would be lines at the door before the store opened when some new models came out. It was another time, it was another place.

Massive Bird Nests on Telephone Poles In the Kalahari Desert, South Africa, a native bird called the Sociable Weaver Bird constructs massive nests. These nests are the largest built by any bird and are large enough to house over a hundred pairs of birds.

Everest? Swiss Alps? No. What you are seeing is not an artistic image, but a shot taken by the ESA's Rosetta probe which in 2014 fascinated us with this breathtaking view, a "few steps" from the surface of the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. You can see areas dominated by cliffs, depressions, heights, and even boulders. While some of these areas seem to be calm, others appear to be shaped by the comet's activity. Comet 67P is a fascinating example of how science and technology can come together to unveil the mysteries of the universe. The close-up images of its surface offer us a unique look at a distant world that continues to amaze and inspire.

It was December 20th, 1980—a day Jean Hilliard will always remember. This is her below. She was frozen solid for ~6 hours in -22 temperatures. They were certain she was dead, no heart, pulse or pupil response. One nurse stood firm and thawed her slowly. Jean is alive today.
