Space Oddities: 5 Strange But Cool Fun Facts About Outer Space

  Hello and welcome, fellow astronauts! Today we have a very important mission! Let's explore some cool fun facts about space! 1. OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD Pizza (Literally) If you like salami pizza like me (I mean, who doesn't?! ), Then you will love this fact! GO! In 2001, Pizza Hut  collaborated with the Russian space agency and used a Proton rocket to send a six-inch salami pizza to the International Space Station (ISS) as a promotional campaign. T he pizza packaging was vacuum-sealed pouches! Talk about an extraterrestrial meal! 2. Space Suit STATS Did you know that a spacesuit weighs around 280 pounds without the astronaut inside? That's like carrying a couple of baby elephants on your back! It takes up to 45 minutes for an astronaut to put on this massive suit and be ready to take off into space. There's the warm-up for the workout off the checklist! 3. Space Is Our Second Home... Right? Humans have been travelling into space since 1961! I gue...

SPECIAL EDITION: Top 5 Coolest Logos Ever (My Opinion)

  From glossy to sleek to modern to flat... Ah, logos, these fantastic icons that let us recognize various companies and businesses... Logos really are something awesome, so let's take a small moment to gaze upon the amazingness of logos... Nah, I'm kidding! Let's go as fast as we can and explore 5 cool logos (my opinion) and their history and meaning! 1. FedEx FedEx, once known as Federal Express, has a wide history behind its logo. Look closely, can you spot the small arrow between the "E" and "x"? This arrow symbolizes speed and efficiency. 2. Amazon The orange arrow that kind of looks like a creepy smile is actually an arrow from A to Z on the company's name. Why A and Z? That symbolizes the wide range of products and efficiency of Amazon. 3. Toblerone Ah, Toblerone, the Swiss chocolate company... Take a good look at the yellow mountain on the logo. Can you spot the bear? It symbolizes the city of Bern in Switzerland, where Toblerone was founded....

5 Most DANGEROUS Tech Fails They Want Us To Forget

Hello tech-lovers, welcome to another journey to Techland, today we will be exploring the lost temple of Tech Fails! Today I have 5 mind-blowing disastrous dangerous nightmare fails that we will be looking at. We'll go from 5 to 1, 5 being the least dangerous and 1 being the worst nightmare ever! 5. Tata Nano The Tata Nano was a car by Tata Motors. It cost only about $1000. The company described it to be: "Brilliant, but cheap". The Tata Nano had no air conditioning, and because it was so cheap, made for those with a small budget, Tata Motors had to make everything in it the cheapest ever! So the quality of the Tata Nano wasn't great, and the airbags weren't safe. The Tata Nano was recalled because it kept catching fire. 4. Lorex Smart Baby Monitors Lorex is a company that makes baby monitors. So in 2016, Lorex released a baby monitor with a screen, that had an app, so you could watch your children from your phone. But these monitors had so much tech squeezed in s...

5 Ways Tech INFURIATES Me (But I Still Love It)

  After reading the title of this article  adventure you've probably guessed what it's going to be about. And I'm also sure that you're asking yourself: "I thought he was a tech-lover!". Well, the answer is YES - I am a tech-lover. But sometimes I feel like I've had enough. Let's start: From stupid rebranding, to ads, to AI and much more. 1. Twitter (I Refuse To Call You X!) Ok, this is for you, Elon Musk (the CEO of X (formerly Twitter), Tesla & SpaceX)! First of all, if you don't know, in August 2023, Elon Musk, the CEO of Twitter (Now sadly called X), rebranded Twitter, which was one of the most-loved social media apps around the world to X. Because X is the "coolest" letter in the alphabet and blah, blah, blah. I mean, you must have got my point, right? It seems that Elon Musk is sort of obsessed with the letter X... (X, SpaceX...) I even have a timeline to show you what I mean: 1999 Elon Musk co-established X.com, an online bank...
