Boy Scouts fifty years ago would have to "visit a computer installation" to get their Computing merit badge. Crazy how we're now more concerned with getting away from our own installations!

"NASA spent millions to make a space pen, but the Soviets just used a pencil!" You've probably heard the story (thanks 3 Idiots!), but it's false!
Fisher Pens spent $1 million developing the pen, not NASA
NASA? $2.39 per pen
The Soviets bought pens a year later. Pencils don't do well in space!

In 1966, Nintendo was struggling to survive making hanafuda cards. President Hiroshi Yamauchi saw engineer Gumpei Yokoi playing at his desk with a scissor toy and asked him to turn it into a game. The result? The Ultra Hand, their first million-selling product.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️🌈💖

Great picture of the biggest cloud near Seattle!
Yes, I just called Mount Rainier a cloud.
Until the 13th century, cloud meant hill from the root word clūd. Then someone looked at the sky, said that the hill on the ground looked like the thing and the sky and here we are. Never change, English.
