I had to look that up.
For wearing pants, imagine that.
As I always do, I read a lot about this after your post. But actually found nothing to the effect that the overheating story is reliable. Searched for citations, and found that many of the citations are just blank, or someone's personal ideas only, not based on any facts. But I will not give up. I'll read more.Wow ! ... Didn't know this ...
Laika, the first animal in space,died from overheating before her oxygen ran out while still in space.
The Soviets never intended to retrieve Laika's capsule, which created a controversy outside the Soviet Union. At first it was believed that Laika simply perished from oxygen deprivation, but in 1998 it was reported that she died when the cabin overheated on the fourth day. In 2002 a Russian scientist reported that in 1957 it was "practically impossible to create a reliable temperature control system" for the cabin before the launch took place. In 1958 Laika's body and Sputnik 2 disintegrated on re-entry. In 2008 a statue and plaque were set up in Laika's memory at the Russian space training base.
Sweden wants to make pesky EV chargers a thing of the past.
The Nordic country is building the world’s first permanent electric road that will recharge the batteries of cars and trucks as they’re driving on it, as reported by Elektrek. The Swedes have already piloted four temporary electrified roads, but this 13-mile stretch will be, well, concrete.
The new e-highway, which is set to be complete in just two years’ time, will increase vehicle range on the go and reduce the need for lengthy charging pitstops. The project is being spearheaded by Trafikverket, though the Swedish transport administration has yet to settle on a contractor and the tech that it will use.
I think I found that at the Neil deGrasse Tyson siteAs I always do, I read a lot about this after your post. But actually found nothing to the effect that the overheating story is reliable. Searched for citations, and found that many of the citations are just blank, or someone's personal ideas only, not based on any facts. But I will not give up. I'll read more.![]()
My first thought too. Brave feats such as that by the women that era shaped the world. I feel sorry about the women in some countries of the world, whose heads will be chopped off the moment they speak a words against the will of their captors.For wearing pants, imagine that.
How far we've come 😉
We’ve not been to Roslyn but will this spring. We don’t like driving I-90.Man! I'm binge-watching Northern Exposure on Amazon Prime Video, and loving it even more the second time around. The actual filming was not done in Alaska, but in Roslyn, WA "because of its uncanny resemblance to an Alaskan locale".
I cannot conceive of -83 degrees.

I've been reading that it's a myth. There are 2 youtube videos that show the experiment, and prove otherwise. I found nothing else that discusses for or against it.
