When Albert Einstein met Charlie Chaplin in 1931, Einstein said, "What I admire most about your art is its universality.

You do not say a word, and yet the world understands you." "It's true." Replied Chaplin, "But your fame is even greater. The world admires you, when no one understands you."

The photo captures Ham, the first humanoid in space, during his historic flight in 1961. Ham, also known as "Ham the Chimp" and the "Astrochimp," was a chimpanzee selected to be part of the US space program's Project Mercury. His mission, Mercury-Redstone 2, marked the successful flight of the first humanoid in space, lasting 16 minutes and 39 seconds. Upon reentry, Ham's capsule splashed down in the Atlantic Ocean, and he was swiftly recovered by the USS Donner. Remarkably, he only suffered a bruised nose, with no other injuries.

Before his journey into space, Ham was captured in Cameroon as one of the 40 chimps in the program. The group was eventually narrowed down to 18, then 6, before selecting Ham for the historic flight. To keep his identity under wraps in case of mission failure, NASA referred to him as "No.65," and his handlers secretly called him "Chop Chop Chang."

Following his pioneering spaceflight, Ham retired from space missions and went on to live at a zoo in Washington DC alongside other chimpanzees for 17 years. Today, his legacy endures as his remains are preserved at the Smithsonian Institution, commemorating his crucial role in space exploration history.

In 15 years, Clayton Kershaw has 25 career complete games. In 1968, Bob Gibson had 25 CG in that season alone.

Sadly @ReverendWarnock says $10k - $20k is only a start…he wants to give more of our tax dollars to those that took out student loans. Hard to imagine someone thought it was a good idea to pay off the debt of others. @HerschelWalker will put a stop to this crap! #gasen #gapol

Whenever you’re feeling down about life and thinking that no one cares, just remember you’ll be dead soon and none of this will matter. Have a great day.
