Man wished to learn more about the universe, so rockets were invented and spaceships and man-made satellites were sent into space.Some ideas used to sound kind 69. of silly, but they became true because of some new inventions.New ideas help improve inventions while new inventions make our ...
At the time, a mission to the Moon was literally a moonshot. Several key requirements for a manned mission hadn’t been developed. Even some of the metals required to build the rockets hadn’t been invented. We jumped into the cosmic void and hoped we would grow wings on the way up. ...
As the story goes,chimichangaswere accidentally invented when a cook dropped a burrito into hot fat, and the name was concocted as well. Today, chimis—flour tortillas stuffed with meat, vegetables, beans, and cheese, and deep-fat fried to a golden crisp—are a state signature. Arkansas: C...

There were people in Switzerland who said that he had worked on the development of the V2 rockets. But it isn’t the case that I then went straight to Father and asked him if that was true. I didn’t go into that. I thought that if there was something of the sort, my parents ...
satellites with one rocket. For the first time, it used a high-pressure, high-thrust, non-toxic, pollution-free, staged combustion cycle engine fueled by kerosene and liquid oxygen developed and manufactured in China, inaugurating the operation o...
It’s an amazingly heavy lift for the little loader the Kellers invented. Though they’ve both passed, Louis and Cyril are still with us every time we see a Bobcat. This year they were selected as inductees for the National Inventors Hall of Fame (NIHF) in Alexandria, Virginia. Louis’...
Fungi have been companions of mankind for millennia. Mushrooms inspired our eating culture, and yeasts and filamentous fungi were developed into highly efficient cell factories during the last 100 years to produce many products utilized in different indu
I asked him about it, and he said, “For rockets to go electric, there would have to be a few Nobel Prizes awarded.” The Merlin Falcon 1’s ascent was entirely propelled by one ragingly powerful SpaceX-invented engine, called the Merlin.8 Merlins are rad. One Merlin engine has a...
