(http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewnews.html?id=968)Hyperloop - Founder Arthur Valkieser started Hydraloop based on an insight: “It's absurd that in the 21st century people still keep flushing their toilets with precious water, as it is becoming scarcer every day.” After installing one of the first prototypes of a decentral water recycling system in his own home, he became invested in water recycling. Valkieser spent years of research and development to create a compact, affordable, stylish, easy-to-use, low maintenance device that saves 45% on water usage and sewage emission, but also saves energy and reduces carbon footprint. The challenge was to create a system that drastically reduces water usage without compromise on living comfort or personal hygiene. He brought first Hydraloop to market in 2017: Within three years, Hydraloop installed its innovative systems in countries throughout Europe and Africa and gained international recognition for its sustainable approach.The Santa Ana winds are strong, extremely dry downslope winds that originate inland and affect coastal southern California and northern Baja California.

Out of 5,000 drawings collected between 1966 and 1977, only 28 were of female scientists, all of which were drawn by girls. Since then, nearly 80 studies have repeated this experiment with over 20,000 students across all grade levels, and the results of all these studies were reviewed in a meta-analysis published last year.

Build a Better Lander Activityvia Cosmosphere Campswww.cosmo.org@kscosmosphereBelow is an engineering design activity called Build a Better Lander. During this activity, kids are invited to build a model lunar lander that is safe for 6 astronauts (represented by small marshmallows). During the Cosmosphere’s Lunar Base camp, kids will experience activities like these as they learn about the Moon. The main focus of the camp is to learn the science, history, and challenges of getting to the Moon from the launch and testing in Project Mercury/Gemini, to landing humans on the Moon and returning them safely to Earth in Project Apollo.In 1969, we landed the first two people on the Moon: Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. Now, NASA wants to go back to the Moon and needs a new design for the lunar lander. First, NASA will build a prototype of the lunar lander to be sure it is safe for the astronauts. Here are the constraints they must consider in building the model:There is no atmosphere on the Moon, so the design cannot use any parachutes.You will be using six small marshmallows to represent your astronauts and a styrofoam cup to represent the cockpit. To make sure it is safe, we need to see how the marshmallows react to the landing. You cannot cover the top of the cup or restrain the astronauts (marshmallows) in any way.A successful landing means that the lunar lander lands upright with all six astronauts still inside the cockpit. If the lander tips over, it is not safe for the astronauts. If some of the astronauts bounce out of the cup, the landing was too hard and unsafe.You will follow the Engineering Design Process, listed below, to create these prototype lunar landers.Engineering Design ProcessAsk: How do we land six astronauts (marshmallows) safely on the moon?Imagine: Gather your materials. You will need small marshmallows and a styrofoam cup. Brainstorm about other materials you could use. Some suggested items include: masking tape, cardboard, straws, and notecards.Plan: Sketch a picture of your lunar lander. Label all the major components and what you will use to build them.Create: Build the lunar lander.Experiment: Stand up and drop the lunar lander with the astronauts inside the styrofoam cup. Note what happens when it lands. Ask an adult to drop the lunar lander from a taller height (from a step stool or small ladder).Improve: Brainstorm ways to improve the lunar lander. What is causing it to tip over? Why are the astronauts bouncing out of the cup?Repeat: Keep experimenting and improving until you are satisfied with your lunar lander.

The NBL is a giant pool which contains a model of the International Space Station. Astronauts put on spacesuits and the correct amount of weight to make them float in one spot without moving up or down. This simulates the microgravity environment on the International Space Station. In the Cosmosphere Camp, Mission: Astro Lab, students receive SCUBA training and conduct microgravity missions much like an astronaut.In this activity, students will make their own neutral buoyancy device, essentially like a submarine’s ballast tank. These are large tanks inside the sub that are filled with some water and some air. If they want to make the sub float, they let water out of the tanks. If they want it to sink, they put water in the tanks. SuppliesPlastic water bottlePush pinPenniesDuct tapeAbout 14 inches of flexible plastic tubingInstructionsUse a push pin to poke three holes in the middle of one side of the bottle. Then use the pin to make the holes larger.Put about 2 inches of plastic tube into the bottle, then use duct tape to seal it into the mouthpiece.Your ballast tank is almost done, but it needs some weight to make it sink when you take the air out. You can use duct tape to attach pennies to the side of the bottle. Experiment with the best place on the bottle to attach the pennies. For instance, does it work better if the pennies are on the same side as the holes? The opposite side? Both sides? How many pennies do you need? Should they all be in the same spot?Now, when you put the bottle into the water with the holes down, water will go inside the bottle, making it sink. When you blow air into the bottle, water will leave, making it float.

Build Your Own Telescope ActivityYou will need:two small dollar store magnifying glasses (it works best if one is larger than the other but not necessary)a cardboard tube - paper towel roll or gift-wrapping paper roll (it helps if it is long)duct tape or other strong tapescissorsa ruler, or tape measuresheet of paper with print on it like a newspaper, magazine, or even a book Here's what you need to do:Get the two magnifying glasses and a sheet of printed paper.Hold one of your magnifying glasses between you and printed paper. The image of the print will may blurry, but that's okay.Hold the second magnifying glass between your eye and the first magnifying glass.Move the second glass until the print comes into focus where you will see that the print is both larger and upside down.Have a friend or family member measure the distance between the two magnifying glasses and write the distance down.Cut a slot in the cardboard tube about one inch away from the front opening, but do not cut all the way through the tube. The slot should be wide enough to hold the first magnifying glass.Cut your second slot in the tube the same distance from the first slot as your friend or family member wrote down. This is where your second magnifying glass will go.Place the two magnifying glasses in their slots and tape them in with the duct tapeLeave approximately 1 inch of tube behind the second magnifying glass and cut off any excess tube remaining.Check to see that it works by looking at the printed page. You may have to adjust slightly to get the exact distances between the two glasses right so that the image comes to a focus.We'll post a photo of Brian and Meredith's telescope on our Instagram and if you're having issues we found a lot of similar plans online with the google search "how to build a telescope at home" ranging from simple like ours to very detailed plans.

Beating a Dead Horse is a story of fathers and sons. It is laugh-out-loud funny, honest, touching, and offers revelations along the way. Jay's son, Alexander “Sandy” Marshall, spent more than three years researching and writing about his maverick father. Beating a Dead Horse chronicles Jay's journey from his staid middle class upbringing in Abington, Massachusetts to his memorable performances on Broadway, television (14 appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show), New York's Palace Theatre, Radio City Music Hall, the London Palladium, opening for Frank Sinatra in Las Vegas, traveling the world, and becoming the Dean of the Society of American Magicians. On this episode of "The Spirit of Magic," Sandy joins us to talk about his dad and the research that went into this book.
