Those 4x4 panel trucks were so rare that this might have also been the first factory NAPCO Powr-Pak installation (RPO 690). Before 1957 all Chevy NAPCO 4x4 conversions were done by aftermarket installers.

I have to laugh whenever I see that meme, because it was likely done by a die hard automobile driver and vehicle drivers can be the worst about messing up traffic flow by sitting in the left lane going too slow or driving the same speed as the car next to them.

Random photo of a cool watch that changes numerals at noon to become 24 hr time.

The idea of a lunar rover has been explored since the early 1960s. Several companies, including Boeing and General Motors, were involved in designing a compact, lightweight vehicle that could fit inside the Lunar Module. Engineer Ferenc "Frank" Pavlics created a foldable design for the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV), suitable for the Moon's low gravity and lack of atmosphere. The LRV featured an advanced navigation system for tracking position and played a key role in the last three Apollo missions, enabling astronauts to explore greater distances on the lunar surface.

The fact that this function is gone is a travesty!

Uranus, as seen by Hubble and the James Webb Space Telescope! Here's what's different
Hubble's images of Uranus, primarily taken in visible light, presented a relatively featureless blueish sphere. The rings were faint and not well-resolved, largely appearing as a blur around the planet. This limited view failed to capture the intricate details of Uranus's ring system, which includes 13 known rings. Hubble's capabilities were constrained by its focus on visible wavelengths, making it difficult to discern the finer aspects of the rings and their dynamic interactions with the planet's atmosphere.
In contrast, JWST employs advanced infrared imaging techniques that allow it to penetrate Uranus's thick atmosphere and reveal much more detail. Its recent images showcase not only Uranus but also its rings in stunning clarity.
Notably, JWST successfully resolved the elusive Zeta ring, a faint and diffuse ring closest to the planet, which was not clearly visible in Hubble's observations. The JWST captures multiple infrared wavelengths (1.4, 2.1, 3.0, and 4.6 microns), providing a comprehensive overview of both the rings and the atmospheric features of Uranus.
The polar cap appears more prominent as Uranus approaches its 2028 solstice, showcasing seasonal variations that were previously unobserved with Hubble.
