Dream And Wish, As It’s Human Nature. As With The Motto Of My Alma Mater, North Carolina State University,

Dream and wish, as it’s human nature. As with the motto of my alma mater, North Carolina State University, think and do. Dare to dream, and then decide to make it happen. Landing on the moon was once science fiction. Make your dreams a reality. Roll up your sleeves and get to work.

Quanti Di Voi Sapevano Che, Sulla Parte Anteriore Della Coscia Destra Della Tuta EMU Degli Astronauti

Quanti di voi sapevano che, sulla parte anteriore della coscia destra della tuta EMU degli astronauti delle missioni Apollo, ci fosse una specie di finestrella pensata appositamente per praticare iniezioni d’emergenza?

Si chiamava Biomedical Injection Patch ed era un disco di silicone attraverso il quale l’astronauta poteva iniettarsi farmaci in emergenza tramite delle siringhe automatiche a penna: il setto di silicone (non visibile nel riquadro perché nascosto da uno strato di tessuto) permetteva di non depressurizzare la tuta perché subito dopo la puntura ritorna elasticamente alla forma iniziale. Il funzionamento è simile a quello degli attuali port-a-cath utilizzati nella chemioterapia, dispositivi che hanno cominciato a diffondersi nei primi anni ’80 e che non mi stupirebbe scoprire che si ispirano a quelli progettati dalla NASA.

Nel kit, vi erano adrenalina e antivertiginosi (e qualcuno sostiene che vi era anche del cianuro, per eutanasie d'emergenza, nel caso qualcosa fosse andato storto).

We Don’t Have Any Real Pictures Of The Milky Way Galaxy. Most Non-illustrated Images Of The Entire

We don’t have any real pictures of the Milky Way galaxy. Most non-illustrated images of the entire Milky Way spiral are actually of another spiral galaxy called Messier 74. It’s impossible to take a full photo of the Milky Way’s spiral structure because it’s about 100,000 light-years across, and we’re stuck on the inside. Source  Source 2  Source 3

This is about as good as we can get:

This picture of the Milky Way was captured by NASA’s COBE satellite. This photograph was taken using the infrared spectrum, which allows astronomers to peer through the gas and dust that normally obscures the center of the Milky Way.
