Part 1 of 3 Parts
The U.S. Air Force commissioned Boeing to construct the unmanned Boeing X-37 also known as the Orbital Test Vehicle in 1999. This space vehicle was about a quarter the size of the Space Shuttle. The project was transferred from NASA to the Department of Defense in 2004.

Nuclear Fusion 76 - Commonwealth Fusion Systems Rasing Money For Fusion ResearchNuclear Fusion 76 - Commonwealth Fusion Systems Raising Money For Fusion Research
I have been blogging a lot about nuclear fusion research recently. Fusion is the process by which lighter elements are fused into heavier elements accompanied by a release of energy. In order to trigger the process, it is necessary to compress a hydrogen plasma under great pressure while heating it to over a hundred million degrees Celsius.

Nuclear Reactors 783 - Beyond Nuclear Demands Better Emergency Planning Following Michigan Flooding That Threatened A Nuclear Reactor In Midland
Several years ago, I wrote a blog post about the dangers of flooding of nuclear reactors. At that time, I mentioned that there were 20 commercial nuclear power reactors in the U.S. that were downstream of dams that were failing with leaks and cracks. If any of those dams broke, they might flood a downstream nuclear reactor and create a nuclear disaster.
Benefits of Clover
You might already know that clover helps pollinators, how it benefits gardens in terms of nitrogen maintenance and as a natural fertilizer, and how it stays green in a way that grass often doesn't. It's also beautiful, in my opinion, and it smells nice and keeps other weeds at bay. In short, it's one of the best things you could have on your lawn. Grass seed companies even used to include it in seeds to help grasses flourish!
