If you've ever tried to build an overclockable PC you'll be familiar with heat pipes and peltier coolers, but did you know that NASA was one of the first placed to actually use this stuff.
Heat pipes solved a lot of heat transport problems in zero g where convection doesn't

GATOR CAUSES TROUBLE: FWC officers had to wrangle a big alligator after it wandered onto MacDill Air Force base and found a new home under a plane. Read more about what happened: bit.ly/3Utym0M

Not exactly UHD 4K... #OTD in 1952: The first live nationwide television broadcast of a nuclear test via KTLA.

In the weightlessness on International Space Station I placed a sphere of water with an air bubble on a speaker cone, then drove it with acoustical waves from the speaker.

This created a series of standing nodes and anti-nodes that responded to the frequency and amplitude. A zero gravity
