Fact of the Day
Per 1999 medical data, an alarming 2 million people are hospitalized
and as many as 140,000 die each year from side effects or reactions to
prescription drugs.
==========
Able and Baker were monkeys that were launched into space on May 28,
1959 in the nose
cone of JUPITER Missile AM-18. The monkeys reached an altitude of 300
miles and a
distance of 1500 miles while travelling at speeds over 10,000 miles
per hour on their trip
into space. The monkeys successfully withstood forces 38 times the
normal pull of gravity
on earth and were weightless for approximately 9 minutes. This mission
marked the first
successful recovery of living beings after their return from space.
