Today is a day to remember some of the highs and lows of U.S. history. From the birth of the postal service in 1792 to the first American in orbit in 1962, to the tragic nightclub fire in 2003, these events shaped the nation in different ways. 🇺🇸

Monday Musings...20th February 2023...Natural Antibiotics...Colloidal Silver, John Herschel Glenn and Whoopi Goldberg...

Welcome to Monday Musings where my muse pinpoints anything exciting or unusual I have read, seen or experienced during the last week it could be anything that piques my interest… On this day…on 20th February 1962…I remember watching this with my father who was very interested in space travel… there was much excitement in our house when John Glenn orbited the earth he wasn’t the first but  Glenn…

#JohnGlenn Jr. (July 18, 1921 – December 8, 2016) was an American Marine Corps aviator, astronaut, businessman, and politician. He was the third American in space and the first American to orbit the Earth, circling it three times in 1962.[3] Following his retirement from NASA, he served from 1974 to 1999 as a U.S. Senator from Ohio; in 1998, he flew into space again at the age of 77.

NSU Prinz e i suoi gloriosi interni: un’auto disegnata per l’era spaziale

Prinz, un'auto spaziale - #boomerissimo #nsuprinz #johnglenn #classiccar #UnoAuto

È un errore sottovalutare la NSU Prinz. Un’ auto il cui stile, confort e tecnologia hanno sedotto un uomo che di viaggi spaziali se ne intendeva per davvero. Il confronto con le creazioni di Elon Musk è impietoso. Viviamo tempi di riscoperta della febbre dello spazio. E se quella mostrata dal razzo di Elon Musk, esploso dopo pochi minuti di volo, sembra essere una febbre decisamente troppo alta,…

#Herstory #UnDiaComoHoy Creola #KatherineJohnson, de soltera Coleman, (White Sulphur Springs, Virginia Occidental; 26 de agosto de 1918-Newport News, Virginia; 24 de febrero de 2020)​ fue una #física, #científica espacial y #matemática estadounidense, que contribuyó a la #aeronáutica de Estados Unidos y sus programas espaciales. Sus cálculos de la mecánica orbital como empleada de la NASA fueron fundamentales para el éxito del primer y posteriores vuelos espaciales tripulados en su país. Durante su carrera de 35 años en la NASA y su predecesor, el Comité Asesor Nacional para la Aeronáutica (NACA por sus siglas en inglés), se ganó la reputación de dominar los cálculos manuales complejos y contribuyó al uso pionero de computadoras para realizar tareas. La agencia espacial destacó su «papel histórico como una de las primeras mujeres #afroamericanas en trabajar como #científica de la #NASA». El trabajo de Johnson incluyó el cálculo de trayectorias, ventanas de lanzamiento y rutas de retorno de emergencia para los vuelos espaciales del Proyecto Mercury, incluidos los de los astronautas #AlanShepard, el primer estadounidense en el espacio, y #JohnGlenn, el primer estadounidense en órbita, y rutas de encuentro para el módulo lunar A#polo y módulo de mando en vuelos a la #Luna. Sus cálculos también fueron esenciales para el comienzo del programa del transbordador espacial y trabajó en planes para una misión a #Marte. En 2015, el presidente Barack Obama le concedió la Medalla Presidencial de la Libertad, y un año más tarde, el astronauta de la NASA Leland D. Melvin le otorgó el premio Snoopy y un NASA Group Achievement Award. Taraji P. Henson encarnó el papel de Johnson como personaje principal en la película de 2016 #Hidden #Figures. En 2019, recibió la Medalla de Oro del Congreso de los Estados Unidos. 👀 Hidden Figures #efemérides #mujeresyciencia #womeninscience #educarenigualdad #educarenfeminismo #schooloffeminism https://www.instagram.com/p/CaXCvtTKo7V/?utm_medium=tumblr

John Herschel Glenn Jr. (July 18, 1921 – December 8, 2016) was a United States #MarineCorps aviator, engineer, astronaut, #businessman, and politician. He was the first American to orbit the Earth, circling it three times in 1962. Following his retirement from NASA, he served from 1974 to 1999 as a Democratic United States senator from Ohio, and, in 1998, flew into space again at age 77. Before joining NASA, Glenn was a distinguished fighter pilot in World War II, China and Korea. He shot down three MiG-15s, and was awarded six Distinguished Flying Crosses and eighteen Air Medals. In 1957, he made the first supersonic transcontinental flight across the United States. His on-board camera took the first continuous, panoramic photograph of the United States. ✳️🌟✳️🌟✳️🌟✳️🌟✳️ https://www.amazon.com/John-Glenn-Notebook-Journal-Diary/dp/B0884JJJJ3/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=lucanus+glenn&qid=1591942053&sr=8-5 ✳️🌟✳️🌟✳️🌟✳️🌟✳️ #johnherschelglenn #johnglenn #Glenn #astronaut Lucanus #famous #People #notebook #blankbook #journal #diary https://www.instagram.com/p/CBUxp88g9gm/?igshid=qthp89wzgb3c

Astronaut and former US Senator John Glenn was born on this day in Cambridge Ohio, July 18, 1921. He was the first American to orbit the Earth among his many accomplishments before he died in 2016. He is pictured here on the cover of LIFE magazine in 1962. The essay featured photos from Glenns' personal collection. The story begins with "A look homeward. Photographs from the collection of Anna Castor and John Glenn illuminate their early life in New Concord, Ohio where they both grew up. The snapshots show Annie and John sprawled on the Castor lawn when they were "steadies" in high school..." (Ralph Morse—The LIFE Picture Collection/Getty Images) #LIFElegends #JohnGlenn
