Some fly overhead. Some are anchored along the coast. All of them shaped what Florida became.
America 250: A Portrait of Florida starts here, diving into Pensacola, its naval roots, and the hundreds of years of history that shaped our state.
This is a brand new package of Jimmy Dean bacon
The marked weight on the package is 12 ounces
If you take the unopened package and put it directly on a scale the weight is only 10.6 ounces, and that’s with the package
I looked up the law. In the United States the marked net weight on bacon packages must reflect only the weight of the bacon itself, excluding the packaging
Under FDA rules the packaging must be excluded
We are being robbed blind
Voyager 1 is 24 billion kilometers from Earth.
It communicates with us using a 23-watt transmitter.
Less than a refrigerator light bulb.
The signal takes 22 hours to reach us, traveling at the speed of light.
By the time it arrives, it's 20 billion times weaker than the power of a digital watch battery.
NASA's Deep Space Network picks it up using 70-meter dish antennas cooled to near absolute zero to reduce electronic noise.
The engineering required to hear a 23-watt signal from 24 billion km away is arguably more impressive than the spacecraft itself.
Launched 1977.
Still transmitting.
Still being heard.
We built something that works perfectly, 47 years later, in conditions no one has ever tested in.
That's what engineering for the long term looks like.

@greg16676935420 not everyone sleeps at night,,so "good night" is like saying "good morning" to everyone who slept all day... suggest you shorten the saying to just "good" to avoid further confusion. thank you for your attention to this matter Greg.
