50 years ago, John Glenn was hurled from the planet to become the fifth human being and third American in outer space. More importantly, he was the first American to orbit the Earth. You know the story: Glenn blasted off in a Mercury-Atlas ship鈥擣riendship 7. Along the w stanley cup ay, a faulty indicator gave everyone a scare, but ultimately, stanley mug Glenn landed safely. stanley cup usa The flight lasted just under five hours and covered three planetary orbits, which was enough to keep Glenn in the national consciousness for more than 50 years. And that all great, but stop and think about exactly what he and all the rest of those early astronauts were doing. They were, essentially, strapping themselves to incredible amounts of explosive fuel and shooting themselves into nothingness. Then, instead of orchestrating a safe and smooth landing like the later shuttles , they ;d just hope the NASA guys could math their way to a relatively comfortable crash. Totally nuts. Totally incredible. For the 50th anniversary, NASA put up an interactive site that has a bunch of facts and photos from the mission. It a nice way to make you feel totally insignificant for however you wasted your day off. Godspeed, John Glenn.

Along with making it rain, Scrooge McDuck money swim is a definite sign of excess in success. The question is though, how much money does one need to pull off the money swim The Billfold tackled the question and came up with a giganto number. Using an estimate on the height of coin piles and a bit of calculus and graphing, Billfold came up with the formula y=-x2-1x+5 where x an y is one inch . According to them: Wh gourde stanley en the area under the curve is calculated from x=-3 to x=5 , it yields roughly 46 square inches. The assumption will be made here that one cubic inch is roughly one ounce of gold. To convert that into a dome shape the value is simply cubed, which becomes 97,366 ounces. Given that 1 ounce of gold is roughly $5.00, it can extrapolated that each large pile of gold in the vault is worth $486,830. $486,830! But if you adjust for inflation as Scrooge McDuck was first drawn in 1947 that would mean 5.2 billion dollars in stanley canada one p stanley quencher ile. And if you guesstimate how many pile are in the room, the final tally comes out to 31.2 billion dollars. That kind of money means only the six richest people in the world could pull off this stunt. Guess we should start saving. [The Billfold]
