John Young smuggled a corned beef sandwich on to Gemini 3 and was the first astronaut to be yelled at by NASA.




Coming from Flagstaff to Sedona on 89a is one of the most beautiful drives in America . This photo is all about the 17 miles of 89a thru oak creek canyon showing the switchbacks , and a change in elevation of about 2500 feet in just a few short miles looks crazy from the air but that’s why their called the switchbacks.
I have driven it, and it is fun and very pretty.

Machining a Space Shuttle Main Engine injector, 1977.
A workman reams holes to the proper size and alignment in the Space Shuttle Main Engine’s main injector body, through which propellants will pass through on their way into the engine’s combustion chamber. Each of those injector nozzles is a separate piece; what we see in the picture is the whole assembly, with each of the nozzles poking through the “primary plate”. In all likelihood the injectors are prefabricated with a slightly undersized hole, pressed into the plate and reamed out to final size in this setup.

In 1896, Thomas Edison, the great inventor of the electric bulb, was working on a car design when he learned that a young man in his company had created an experimental car. Edison met this young man, Henry Ford, at a company party in New York and was thoroughly impressed by his gasoline-powered car idea. Edison, who had been considering electricity as a power source, enthusiastically encouraged Ford, saying, "Young man, that's the thing! You have it! I think you are on to something! I encourage you to continue your pursuits!"

Encouraged by the respected inventor, Henry Ford continued his work, eventually inventing a car that made him wealthy.

On December 9, 1914, Edison's laboratory and factory were destroyed by fire. At 67 years old, the damage was too extensive for insurance to cover. Before the ashes were cold, Henry Ford handed Edison a check for $750,000 with a note saying Edison could have more if needed.

In 1916, Ford relocated his home next to Edison's. When Edison was later confined to a wheelchair, Ford also got a wheelchair so they could race each other.

Thomas Edison made Henry Ford believe in himself, creating a friendship for life.

LESSON:
Don't ever be jealous of others' success. If you can't win a race, help the person in front of you break the record. Your candle doesn't lose its light by lighting another. Let us follow this example of supporting and uplifting each other!
