Description:
On May 8, 1962, NASA's new Centaur rocket exploded in mid-air during its first test flight. <br/><br/>The Centaur was an upper stage specially designed to launch heavier payloads into orbit. For its first launch, it flew on an Atlas rocket booster. The liftoff from Cape Canaveral went well at first. Then 54 seconds later, the Centaur suddenly exploded. Both the Centaur and the Atlas disintegrated at an altitude of nearly 30,000 feet (9,000 meters). An investigation determined that the insulation panels around the liquid hydrogen fuel tank couldn't withstand the pressure during the flight, so the tank ruptured. This was the first rocket launch to use liquid hydrogen in its propulsion system. NASA redesigned the Centaur and launched its first successful test flight the following year. Different versions of the Centaur have since been used to launch missions throughout the solar system, and they've even flown on space shuttles to help boost payloads out of low Earth orbit.

_spring39s-hottest-nail-and-lash-trends.webp ";Summer is almost here and we are talking the hottest DIY nail and lash trends with two of the most sought-after pros. Celebrity makeup artist and KISS Lashes ambassador Sir John who's done everyone from Beyoncé to Serena Williams and celebrity manicurist and imPRESS manicure brand ambassador Tom Bachik who's done nails for Jennifer Lopez, Selena Gomez, Margot Robbie, both say when it comes to summer beauty it's all about looking confident. So what trends are we seeing for summer 2024? Well, it's all about the eyes and of course no look is complete without a full set of lashes. Sir John loves imPRESS Press-on Falsies , which requires no glue and are one-step press on and go lashes. They have this exclusive design with self-stick technology for a quick and easy application that lasts for 24 hours with no mess and they're mistake-proof. They're easy to remove too and don't leave sticky residue, they won't harm your natural lash either which is major.

You can find imPRESS Press-on Falsies on impressbeauty.com and Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, Ulta, and Target for $8.99 - $19.99. Next up, let's talk nails! Tom has partnered with imPRESS, making A-lister mani and pedi trends achievable at-home. He says press-on nails for hands and feet are the perfect summer fashion accessory and the way to get a perfect mani and pedi--fast, easy all by yourself at home. imPRESS Press-On Nails , like the lashes--require no glue and come with pre-applied patented super hold adhesive that lasts for up to 7-days. Safe, no damage to your natural nails, no chipping, and of course no dry time, plus, they're waterproof. Just peel, press and go! Each kit includes everything you need to apply the mani and pedi, including plenty of sizes to choose from. Removal is also safe, easy and mess-free. They make it so easy to switch up your styles to match your outfit.

_big-pete-the-world39s-first-monster-truck-and-trailer.webp "The UK is home to the Monster Truck Nationals and in 2019 English monster legend, Mike Murty attempted a world first with his truck ‘Big Pete.’ Mike told FutureStudiosCars: “We have planned for many years, and for the first time it will be seen this weekend - the world’s first monster truck and trailer, which we designed to be able to crush the cars.” Powered by a Big-Block Chevrolet V8 engine, three-speed automatic gearbox, and sporting Mega X BIB tyres - Big Pete is known to jump 15 feet and always puts on an amazing show. Mike explained why it was so special, “this is one of the only working monster trucks out there, still running leaf-sprung suspension - most drivers can't handle it because it is so hard on the body.” He continued, “it looks totally different from any other monster truck out there.” The first thing that anybody sees when faced with Big Pete is the truck’s most prominent feature - huge tyres, which cost over $4500 each. “The pressure that we run in these tires helps with the suspension”, Mike explained.Big Pete’s unique body is built with genuine steel and aluminum. \")
