NASA (1980). Spinoff (PDF). Headquarters of NASA are in Washington, D.C. In practice, the best speeds widely offered today are 1.5 Mbps downstream, with upstream speeds varying between 64 and 640 Kbps. Minard, Ann. “How to Keep Asteroids Away: Tie Them Up.” Universe Today. But a mere five months after Koko adopted All Ball, he escaped the research facility, wandered onto a nearby highway and was run over. She got her wish several months later, when her trainers at the Gorilla Institute near Stanford University let her select a Manx kitten as her birthday present. So, one year the gorilla – famous for learning 1,000 words in American Sign Language – asked her trainers for a kitten as a Christmas present. The Clintons adopted the cat, whom they named Socks, and a year later brought him with them to the White House when Chelsea’s dad, William J. Clinton, became president. Koko, who loved rhyming words, named the fluffy bundle All Ball. In 1925, a statue of Flinders was erected at Australia’s State Library of New South Wales; an accompanying bronze statue of Trim on a window ledge directly behind Flinders’ memorial was built in 1996. Trim’s statue is very popular, as is the library’s café, named in his honor.

The magnetic field’s lines of force exit the magnet from its north pole and enter its south pole. The near Sun radiation environment is predicted to cause spacecraft charging effects, radiation damage in materials and electronics, and communication interruptions, so the orbit will be highly elliptical with short times spent near the Sun. Over the next few years, Trim accompanied Flinders several more times as he circumnavigated the Australian continent. The island was controlled by the French, who were at war with England, so Flinders, Trim and another officer were imprisoned. This may not always take place in the context of a war. RSS is another SharePoint favorite, and one which can take multiple forms. So what we’ve built with SharePoint is a way for end users to easily create those tables that they want to use as lists. Windows users generally set up an account when they purchase a Microsoft device, but you can set one up for free whenever you want. Do you want the supplies delivered? Since we live here, you might think we know all there is to know about Earth. Willard/Chester went on to solo-author another physics paper in 1980, though we suspect his owner might have given just a little help – at least with the typing.

He had just finished typing a physics paper (that would later become quite influential) when a colleague noted he had used the royal “we” throughout the article. If an article used plural words such as “we,” it had to have two or more people listed as the authors. Since the electric vacuum’s invention a century ago, many innovative thinkers have expanded and modified this idea to create different sorts of vacuum systems. Things like electric cars and hydrogen fuel cells are being talked about as feasible alternatives to oil. The Allies launched Operation Shingle (so-called because it was expected to peel away German defenses like roof shingles) on January 22, 1944. Allied troops, such as the ones seen here, landed behind the Gustav Line a mere 35 miles from Rome. So even if the power goes out in your house, the phone still gets the power it needs through the phone line. Socks quickly scouted out several favorite snoozing spots in his new home, including the Oval Office, a wing chair in the West Wing and the office of Betty Currie, the president’s secretary. If you’re running a business out of your home, you’ll obviously need much more space and equipment than a family looking for a corner to file papers and tend to correspondence.

Its versatility and durability has made the shuttle NASA’s workhorse since STS-1, Columbia’s maiden flight in 1981. Shuttles have been used to deploy and recover satellites, to deliver payloads and crews to various space stations, to conduct experiments in the weightlessness of space, and to dispatch crews to repair other space vehicles. Only 173 total fatalities have occurred around the world since 1785 and of those, only 61 occurred in the United States. Some of them have actually made history. In March 2011, astronomers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) reported that about “1.4 to 2.7 percent” of all Sun-like stars are expected to have Earth-size planets “within the habitable zones of their stars”. Some of the most visited websites are dedicated to all aspects of the furry felines, too, and there are loads of individual celebrity kitties, such as Grumpy Cat. Hillary Clinton brought Socks with her when she visited kids and senior citizens, and he typically charmed them all. Socks’ halcyon days ended in 1997, when the Clintons added Buddy, a chocolate Lab, to the family. This added propulsion allows the crewmember to clear the tail of the plane.
