"National Space Day dedicates the first Friday in May to the extraordinary achievements, benefits, and opportunities in the exploration and use of space. The goal of the observance is to promote math, science, technology, and engineering education in young people, The hope is to inspire them to pursue a career in science, especially a career in space-related jobs.
Careers in space involve a wide range of specialties. Going to space requires many working parts, and that’s not just the parts that go into space. All kinds of engineers build the equipment, computers and make the computations.
Accountants and public relations manage the books and the press. Meteorologists, chemists, physicists, and biologists analyze data and doctors monitor the health of the astronauts. As preparations are underway, photographers and writers record the events.
While we’ve only been exploring space for less than 60 years, we continue to learn so much. Imagine all the roles in space you can fill. While we’ve named a few here, how many more careers can you name? Do you know which one is yours?"
My notes: I always wanted to be an astronaut. The excitement of journeying to the stars, seeing new planets. What about you?

The idea of being able to go to space and visit some of the planets just fascinated me so much. Would love to be able to step foot on the moon one day before I die. Hopefully that will be possible and not too expensive!

You have a long time, Ash. I fully believe public space travel will be possible in our lifetime.

"National Paste Up Day on May 7th each year remembers the time before desktop publishing and computerized digital imaging when many publications were completed by hand. The day also remembers those who worked so tediously in their positions.
Paste-up refers to a method of preparing and laying out pages of a publication. A paste-up artist was also known as a layout artist, mechanical artist, production artist, or compositor. Part of the daily duties of the paste-up artist would be to cut the type into sections and arrange it carefully across multiple columns. They were also responsible for placing the headlines and other typographical elements. These elements were supplied separately."
My notes: We have it so easy nowadays!

"Each year on May 7th, National Roast Leg of Lamb Day makes a menu suggestion worthy of a celebration. The leg of lamb is a mild and tender cut of meat that, when roasted, is a unique and tasty dish to many. A typical preparation involves covering the leg of lamb with butter, rosemary sprigs pushed inside incisions cut in the leg, and rosemary leaves sprinkled on top. The lamb is then roasted for two hours at 360 degrees.
Lamb is a lean red meat loaded with nutrition. Of course, it’s going to deliver the protein at 25 grams per 3 ounce serving. But it also provides potassium and vitamin B-12. Another good reason to eat lamb is the iron, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids."
My notes: While I do eat organic meat, I've never had lamb I don't think. What do you think of it?

"On May 7th each year, we are charged with breaking down obstacles on National Barrier Awareness Day. We are responsible for dissolving stigmas keeping people with disabilities from advancing in education. It's an opportunity to tear down walls and build ramps that providing access. When we have misunderstandings, see the potential for the development of new technology to bridge the gap. Eliminate antiquated policies preventing those with disabilities from accessing their full potential. If there was ever a time to speak up about the questionable treatment of a human being, National Barrier Awareness Day encourages us to do so now." My notes: Unfortunately, there will always be stigmas. & as our world keeps shattering, more & more will crop up. We are doing something wrong. People make such a big deal out of something that it then BECOMES that big of deal. Yes, they have obstacles, yes they are disabled. If we focus on being a Human BEing, many of these stigmas will fall to the wayside naturally. I'll continue this topic in the Human BEings board Members may like these similar threads: National Specially-abled Pets DayPC Terms |
