1931 interview with Rebecca Felton, born in 1835.

Rebecca Latimer Felton, first woman to serve in the United States Senate (served one day),  sits on the front steps of her plantation home, describing her experiences and philosophy of life.
This film was shot by a Fox Movietone cameraman in Georgia on April 9, 1929.

Former U.S. Senator Rebecca Felton


She also owned slaves and advocated lynching(I assume this is true... you never know what to believe when it comes to this stuff)

I also wonder if the couch was reinforced. I sure wouldn't trust my life to some of the furniture I've seen

Translation: "A landscape of London drawn with letters and symbols typewritten on a typewriter (Royal Albert Hall area). When James Cook was an architecture student, he became interested in artists who created paintings using typewriters because he had cerebral palsy and was unable to hold a paintbrush, and he has been working on these types of works ever since."

The Imprint of a Mitsubishi kamikaze Ki-51 Sonia two-seat light bomber and it's fixed undercarriage along the side of H.M.S Sussex.

"According to the U.S. Naval Institute, HMS Sussex was protected by belt armor that was 4.5 inches thick, although other accounts from naval warfare experts point out that the County class did not carry any additional belt armor, as a result of limits placed on protection by interwar naval treaties, with the kamikaze raider instead ultimately being defeated by an just inch of steel."

The fuselage grew under the high temperatures of sustained supersonic flight, and the paint flaked off.
I remember reading that they corrected the problem with the paint and there were no further problems.
That was one cool plane.

Pale Blue Dot is a photo of Earth that was taken by the Voyager 1 space probe in 1990 from a distance of about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles) as it was leaving our solar system. This is what Carl Sagan said about the photo:

"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor, and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there — on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”

Cool toy. Waaaaay to expensive for what it is. Still, its all fun and games till someone on the ground gets severly injured or decapitated. Those blades should be ducted.
