Damn... Poor Laika... I'm sure she was a good dog. :(

I've caught black sea bass and I can't wrap my mind around at how big it is everytime I see #17. I just assume it's fake because of the typo

LBJ is one of my favorites. Southern Democrat who did more for the Civil rights movement than any other president before him. Plus BJ lol

I know you don't like it Zachary, but it's floral prints to school from now on.

#1 Made me shiver, my late granddad was one of the architects overseeing the deconstruction and construction of the monument.

There used to be a test transmission film about that project on UK TV when I was a kid. Temple of Abu Simbel (sp?) - they had to 1/2

Realign it *exactly* several hundred feet higher. On midsummer dawn the sun shines deep into a point inside. It still did after the move 2/2

Repost quality. If you actually did this I'm pretty sure the quality would've been better.

Yes the watermark proved it but its unseen to someone

Little known fact about #4. LBJ lent his car to Ted Kennedy, but swapped it back as a prank.
imtoooldforthismess
Nicely done!

Mary Jo never forgave him... or Ted.

OMG - was thinking the same thing! "Swim, MaryJo, swim!"

I think Helen also forgot her bra.

What Helen didn't wear was a bra.

In 1988, Mecano a group from Spain, made a song about Laika: https://youtu.be/yBV_TrSJQpc Here you have it with English captions.

the eagle and the shield remind me of Nazi germany and North Korea

Breaking my lurking to ask how are people able to read this? It's too blurry for me, I can't see a damn thing.
trekkiedane
Me neither.

Certain models of iPhones can't display long pictures like this properly. Turns them to shit.

Live stock feed sacks were also printed with patterns as an incentive to buy matching bags. My aunts had dresses made from sacks.
tcgl
Right. Wasn't a "poverty" thing either, pretty much everybody reused everything. Flour companies knew prettier bags = better sales.
GabeSalamander
But let's be honest. In 1939, what WASN'T a poverty thing?
tcgl
True, but that's not the only year that was done, not by a long shot.
KingKelloggTheWaffleHaggler
It is disgusting to do that to the poor dog. Leaving it to die up there.. Disgusting.

America chose monkeys instead :(

I wouldn't say Camp Custer outdid Camp Gordon. The Eagle is way cooler.
MagsTheDestroyer
Totally agree, also Gordon has a smaller version of what Custer did inside the eagle.
eldonq
To say nothing of the fact that Camp Custer is now a National Guard training facility, while Camp Gordon went on to become Fort Gordon [1/2]
eldonq
is the home of the U.S. Army Signal Corps and Cyber Center of Excellence, has approximately 30,000 military and civilian employees, [2/2]
eldonq
and has an estimated $1.1 billion economic impact on the Augusta-Richmond County economy. [3/3]

Bonus Fact: Fort Gordon also has a sweet display with sections of the Berlin Wall, as well as a sign from the Wall.

I read somewhere that Laika was a bitch, but it still seems a bit harsh to just leave her up there, no matter what she did.

That made me really sad.

Just know that she was a stray dog that they found and they gave her a pretty good last few days before she was sent up.

I mean we had to get our data to make humans survive the trip somehow. It sucks but it was the chosen method of the time.
dietderpsy
I would rather send people to get data for people.
pandasmakemehappy
Send convicts.
ottotravel
It's gross but not any grosser than the shit we do to medically test on animals, giving them cancer, breaking their bones repeatedly.

Data is data. It gets acquired somehow.

Fun fact: Laika peed on a tire prior to launch and since then cosmonauts pee on tires for good luck before a launch.
giveittomestraightlikeapearcidermadefrom100percentpears
There is a tradition at Baikonur to pee on the back right tyre of the bus that takes kosmo/astronauts to the lauch pad. But i heard that >
giveittomestraightlikeapearcidermadefrom100percentpears
was because Yuri Gagarin did it on his first launch because he was so nervous (and understandably!) I know they're very supersticious.

Think it's more rocket didn't blow up.
Halflived
Especially since she died from overheating. That's pretty awful.
Flexpert
Could have opened a window for her.
Heisenbeer
You know it's legal to break the window when you see this happening
FutureRetroism
Well that's a sure way to prevent death by overheating.
Ezzybells
Happened to a Russian astronaut as well. He was screaming and cursing them as he died. People suck.
