the first space shuttle was not american

how much energy goes into producing an american bumper bar...

amendment to "you sort of expect a russian ebook reader to just be made out of paper..."

I have recently learned that Russians are even more clever than i previously thought.
We have all heard the joke about the Russian/US space programs. The americans spent millions developing a pen that writes upside down for space and the russians used a pencil...

Well... apparently, they both started using pencils, but the tips break off and get into the computer resulting in badness...
To solve this NASA developed their million dollar pen that writes upside down.
The Russians realised in zero gravity, there is no upside down and just use a normal pen.

The Door to Hell

This place in Uzbekistan is called by locals “The Door to Hell”. It is situated near the small town of Darvaz. The story of this place lasts already for 35 years. Once the geologists were drilling for gas. Then suddenly during the drilling they have found an underground cavern, it was so big that all the drilling site with all the equipment and camps got deep deep under the ground. None dared to go down there because the cavern was filled with gas. So they ignited it so that no poisonous gas could come out of the hole, and since then, it’s burning, already for 35 years without any pause. Nobody knows how many tons of excellent gas has been burned for all those years but it just seems to be infinite there.
