Encuentro alucinante el hecho de que el ser humano posea la capacidad técnica de salir del planeta Tierra y viajar nuevamente a la Luna y, al mismo tiempo, seamos incapaces de replicar la tecnología del Technicolor, que hoy en día ya no exista y sea considerado un arte perdido.
The letter “K” stands for “thousand” because it comes from the Greek word khilioi (χίλιοι), meaning a thousand, and was adopted into the metric prefix “kilo-.” That’s why we see “kilogram” (1000 grams) or “kilometer” (1000 meters).
