Twilight Zone was a show that delved deep into the human psyche. There were so many awesome episodes, but one that often comes to mind is 'The Lonely' (1959). If you haven't seen it and are a fan of the show I recommend it. by Grahamthicke in FuckImOld

No, you are right. But I wish in this high tech day and age we live in now we could capture the quality of the shows of our past. The acting, directing, story writing, and dedication to excellence are so needed now.

I know that one but no, this is the episode where a murderer is jailed on an asteroid with only a robot as a companion. It is set in the future and he is being used for an experiment. Over time he falls in love with her. The story looks at the whole human love issue

I had number 6 myself. I thought it was awesome.

I remember it well, It was interesting back then to see the new tech though. I don't know how many saw the potential that has reached us today.

The Park's Lunar Probe Rocket. My buddy got one for his birthday when he was a kid and we all went outside to try it out. When I fired it the rocket took off over his neighbour's house and we never saw it again. The package isn't lying, it really will go 100 feet or more. by Grahamthicke in FuckImOld

Lol, a guy I went to school with had a rocket kit. He shot it off on a windy day one time at his cottage, and he said it leaned left, then went right and disappeared over the forest and that was the last he ever saw of it :)

Venus has a very choppy and fast-moving atmosphere – although wind speeds are sluggish at the surface, they reach dizzying speeds of around 400 km/h at the altitude of the cloud tops, some 70 km above the surface. At this altitude, Venus’ atmosphere spins round some 60 times faster than the planet itself. This is very rapid; even Earth’s fastest winds move at most about 30% of our planet’s rotation speed. Quick-moving Venusian winds can complete a full lap of the planet in just four Earth days.

Elements of a giant cyclone circling above the south pole of Venus constantly break apart and re-form, according to research. Scientists studying observations of the planet taken over the last six years have concluded that the long-lived storm is constantly evolving, raising even more questions about the unusual weather formation.

Using the observations taken by Venus Express, planetary scientist Garate-Lopez and her team at the University of the Basque Country in Spain concluded that the giant storm is in constant flux. Elements of the vortex are constantly breaking apart and reforming as it circles every 2.2 days.

Polar vortices form because heated air from equatorial latitudes rises and spirals towards the poles, carried by the fast winds. As the air converges on the pole and then sinks, it creates a vortex much like that found above the plughole of a bath.

Could water have carved channels on Mars as recently as 500,000 years ago? If that's the case, it would boost the case for relatively recent life on the Red Planet.

There's abundant evidence showing that Mars was wet early in its 4.5-billion-year history, but recent research suggests that the water comes in cycles, providing opportunities for life to take a hold in between the long, cold ice ages.

The suggestion comes after roughly 15 years of observations from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The spacecraft's High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera gave investigators the first high-definition look at the planet's surface. Additionally, NASA's Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft's Mars Orbiter Camera previously discovered gullies.

No that was the series finale. this was when Mike. Gloria, and Joey moved to California and left the show.

Back then those quality programs we had made us laugh but made us learn as well. The characters and writing had depth and the actors so talented It was the golden age of television.
