How Bones Heal After a Fracture







Who among us watched man’s first walk on the moon? Sunday, July 20, 1969.







Really neat video & photos from different angles of Charlie Duke jumping & saluting the flag on the Moon. AS16-113-18339 Image Caption: 120:25:42 Astronaut Charles M. Duke Jr., lunar module pilot, took this picture of John Young, commander of the Apollo 16 lunar landing mission, as he jumps off the ground & salutes the U.S. Flag at the Descartes landing site during the 1st Apollo 16 extravehicular activity (EVA-1) for this superb tourist picture. He is off the ground about 1.45 s which, in the lunar gravity field, means that he launched himself at a velocity of about 1.17 m/s and reached a maximum height of 0.42 m. Although the suit & backpack weigh as much as he does, his total weight is only about 65 pounds (~290 N, or equivalent to ~30 kg on Earth) &, to get this height, he only had to bend his knees slightly & then push up w/ his legs. In the background, we can see the Far Ultraviolet Camera/Spectrograph, the flag, the Lunar Module (LM) "Orion", the Lunar Roving Vehicle w/ the TV camera watching John, & Stone Mountain dominates the background in this lunar scene. Journal Contributor Joe Cannaday notes that high-point of John's first jump was at a time close to 120:25:49 & the second was almost exactly 3 s later. tothemoon.ser.asu.edu/data_a70/AS16/… AS16-113-18340 Image Caption: 120:25:42 John's second jump lasts about 1.30 s &, consequently, his launch velocity is about 1.05 m/s & his maximum height is 0.34 m. tothemoon.ser.asu.edu/data_a70/AS16/…




@DisDroidInitia1 @LilaGraceRose Here they are:






A juror from the O.J. Simpson trial said that about 90% of the jury thought O.J. was guilty but still voted to acquit him as payback against White people.












@TownSquareMan @RileyMerritt17 @kimmie_c_ Just like the cops who beat a Black man were acquitted because their victim was Black. It’s countering the oppression against themselves by showing what it looks like in reverse. The message was “we can do this to you too” not “we hate white people.” That’s not prejudice.
