Hey Its TACO Tuesday TINFOIL TUESDAY. I am all filled up on light roast Ethiopian ready to talk Titanic. I put together a new segment intro, Kori made me some cranial protection and we are talking 10 conspiracy theories surrounding the sinking of the Titanic. This segment is going to be fun. Before that I hit The Perfect Cup Question “If you could only watch one movie for the rest of your life, which one would it be?” followed by another great LOTS of History prepared by Pip over at Ducktioncups.com.

LOTS of History
Prepared by Pip over at Ducktioncups.com If you like the history segment SHOW THEM SOME LOVE Website FB TikTok
Happy taco Tuesday, humans. Allow me to cheers to Canadian Farmstead’s segment. Pass the foil & the popcorn. But, before that happens, Here’s LOTS of History for the 26th.
- 1954 – The Obninsk Nuclear Power Plant, the Soviet Union’s first nuclear power station, opens in Obninsk, near Moscow.
Connected to the power grid in June 1954, Obninsk was the first grid-connected nuclear power plant in the world, i.e. the first
nuclear reactor that produced electricity industrially, albeit at a small scale.
It remained in operation between 1954 and 2002, although its production of electricity for the grid ceased in 1959;
thereafter it functioned as a research and isotope production plant only.

- 1982 – Space Shuttle Columbia launched from the Kennedy Space Center on the final research and development flight mission, STS-4.
Crewed by Ken Mattingly and Henry Hartsfield, the mission launched on June 27, 1982,
and landed a week later on July 4, 1982.
Due to parachute malfunctions, the SRBs were not recovered.
STS-4 was the final test flight for the Space Shuttle;
it was thereafter officially declared to be operational.
Columbia carried numerous scientific payloads during the mission,
as well as military missile detection systems.
Pip’s notes – Columbia was flown on 28 missions in the Space Shuttle program,
spending over 300 days in space and completing over 4,000 orbits around Earth. 28 missions completed.

- 2013 – NASA launches the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph, a space probe to observe the Sun.
IRIS is intended to advance Sun-Earth connection studies by tracing the flow of energy and plasma into the corona and heliosphere for which no suitable observations exist.

Happy Birthdays
- 1838 – Paul Mauser, German weapon designer, designed the Gewehr 98 (d. 1914)
Pip’s notes – the dude designed 5 rifles, 2 pistols and 2 bullet caliber designs.
I had a 7mm Mouser, years ago. damn thing kicked like a mule on a coke bender
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Mauser
- 1869 – Hans Spemann, German embryologist and academic, Nobel Prize laureate (d. 1941)
a German embryologist who was awarded a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1935 for his student
Hilde Mangold’s discovery of the effect now known as embryonic induction, an influence,
exercised by various parts of the embryo, that directs the development of groups of cells into
particular tissues and organs.
Spemann added his name as an author to Hilde Mangold’s dissertation (although she objected)
and won a Nobel Prize for her work.
Pip’s notes – ‘yes, we know it was your good idea. that’s why it’s now my great idea. you may go now’ – Mgnt

- 1930 – Ross Perot, American businessman and politician (d. 2019)
Perot also became heavily involved in the Vietnam War POW/MIA issue, arguing that hundreds of
American servicemen were left behind in Southeast Asia after the Vietnam War.
During the presidency of George H. W. Bush, Perot became increasingly active in politics and
strongly opposed the Gulf War and ratification of the North American Free Trade Agreement.

Passings
- 1829 – James Smithson, English chemist and mineralogist (b. 1765)
an English chemist and mineralogist. He published numerous scientific papers for the Royal Society during
the early 1800s as well as defining calamine, which would eventually be renamed after him as “smithsonite”.
He was the founding donor of the Smithsonian Institution, which also bears his name.
Smithson never married and had no children; therefore, when he wrote his will, he left his estate to his nephew,
or his nephew’s family if his nephew died before Smithson.
Smithson’s will stipulated that his estate be used “to found in Washington, under the name of the Smithsonian Institution,
an establishment for the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men”.
Pip’s notes – Talk about a legacy set in motion…

- 1935 – Eugene Augustin Lauste, French-American inventor (b. 1857)
a French inventor instrumental in the technological development of the history of cinema.
Lauste also worked on an idea for a combustible gasoline engine; he did develop a working model
in the 1890s but gave up when told that such a noisy device would never be widely used.
He then worked with Major Woodville Latham, for whom he engineered the
Eidoloscope and assisted with the design of the Latham loop.
By age 23 he held 53 French patents. He emigrated to the United States in 1886 where he worked
as an assistant to French-born William Kennedy Laurie Dickson at the Edison Laboratories.
Lauste contributed to the development of the leading predecessor to the motion picture projector,
the Kinetoscope, an invention for which Edison would claim credit. Lauste left Edison in 1892.
Pip’s notes – When Tommy Ediston steals…. er… ‘claims credit’ for your invention… dude, dafuk?

- 1975 – G.I. Taylor, English mathematician and physicist (b. 1886)
a notable British physicist and mathematician, and a major figure in fluid dynamics and wave theory.
Taylor was sent to the United States in 1944–1945 as part of the British delegation to the Manhattan Project.
At Los Alamos, Taylor helped solve implosion instability problems in the development of atomic weapons,
particularly the plutonium bomb used at Nagasaki on 9 August 1945.
Between the ages of 78 and 83, Taylor wrote six papers on electro-hydro-dynamics.
In this work he returned to his interest in electrical activity in thunderstorms, as jets of conducting liquid motivated by electrical fields.
The cone from which such jets are observed is called the Taylor cone, after him
Pip’s notes – I have no idea what that means, but I’m sure it’s important.

Pip’s notes – there should not be effing 22 a day. period.
