Description:
On May 15, 1963, NASA astronaut Gordon Cooper launched on the sixth and final crewed flight of the Mercury Program. <br/><br/>This was also the last time a NASA astronaut launched on a solo mission to space. Cooper lifted off from Cape Canaveral on an Atlas rocket booster. He rode inside a capsule called Faith 7, which he piloted for 22 orbits around the Earth. The entire mission lasted 34 hours and 20 minutes and was the longest flight of the Mercury program. Cooper performed 11 experiments in orbit. One of them involved deploying a flashing ball in space and tracking it. Cooper also became the first person to sleep in space. When it came time to head home, Faith 7 started having some problems. It started giving faulty readings, and NASA decided that the auto-pilot system could not longer be trusted. So, Cooper had to pilot it manually. This made him the first astronaut manually fly a space capsule for the entire reentry process. Not only was his landing smooth, but it was also the most accurate landing in the history of the Mercury program. He splashed down just 4 miles away from the recovery ship that was waiting for him in the Pacific Ocean.

_decoliner-the-36500000-double-decker-motorhome.webp "A RENOWNED automotive artist has built a $500,000 motorhome that you can drive from the roof. Randy Grubb, from Oregon, is well-known for building beautiful and unique chrome vehicles. Some of his masterpieces include the Blastolene Indy Special, Jay Leno Tank Car, Decoson and the $500,000 motorhome - the Decoliner. Inspired by the 1980s sci-fi space traveller Flash Gordon, Randy spent over $100,000 in parts and 6,000 hours in manpower on the stylised mobile home. Using the chassis of a 1973 GMC motorhome which sports a front-wheel drive, it allows the frame of the Decoliner to be very low to the ground, around 14 inches. This means that Randy had enough space to stack the vehicle as a double decker and for an additional driving position on the roof low enough to fit under most bridges and overpasses. Randy and his wife drove the Decoliner all over America, putting over 15,000 miles on the camper without being stopped for the unusual driving position.")

_gigabash-x-godzilla-nemesis-2-kaiju-pack-dlc-launch-trailer.webp "King Ghidorah and Hedorah join the Gigabash roster as part of the Nemesis 2 Kaiju Pack DLC. Check out the latest trailer for Gigabash to see these two new playable characters from the Godzilla universe in action in the Kaiju fighting game.<br/><br/>As seen in Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (1991), King Ghidorah is Godzilla’s most formidable rival. Each of its colossal, horned heads can blast destructive lightning bolt-like Gravity Beams capable of tearing through entire skyscrapers. Its supersonic wings not only allow it to fly and rain destructive Gravity Beams from above but are also powerful enough to produce powerful shockwaves that uproot buildings and send them flying.<br/><br/>Hedorah is the smog monster that stands taller than Godzilla and can match the King of the Monsters blow for blow. As seen in Godzilla vs. Hedorah (1971), it can spit Acidic Sludge, throw mud balls at its enemy, and even shoot a Hedrium Ray from one of its eyes. It can also revert to its Flying Stage to escape attacks with surprising agility. Few foes have ever proved as challenging for Godzilla and humankind as Hedorah. <br/><br/>GigaBash's Godzilla: Nemesis - 2 Kaiju Pack DLC is available now on Steam, Epic Games Store, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, PS4 (PlayStation 4), and PS5 (PlayStation 5).<br/>")
