Hi my friends! Happy May Day!...The first day of May today! Awesome!
I wanted to share this next thing with you. I thought it was interesting:
Orbiting our planet at speeds more than 4.5 miles per second is a growing collection of space junk. Nuts, bolts, and other discarded debris from space flights are presenting a real hazard to future spacecraft. Their sheer speed makes the tiniest object strike with the impact of a bullet. During one of the shuttle missions, a speck of paint created a pit a quarter-inch wide in a window of the craft. One study revealed that there are 110,000 objects larger than 1 centimeter in orbit. Their combined weight is 4 million pounds! To avoid a space junk disaster, the US Space Command monitors orbiting debris for NASA.*
(WHOA! -who would ever have imagined that?)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MAY OF 1933 - As reported in the local newspaper, a couple saw an enormous creature cavorting along the surface of Scotland's Loch Ness, initiating the modern era of Loch Ness Monster sightings.*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do. -Benjamin Spock
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wisdom is in living
Near Jesus every day:
True wisdom is in walking
Where He shall lead the way. -Anon.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Be happy my friends. Blessings! -Missygirl*
