Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for May 06, 2012

Hydras don’t die of old age??? Maybe related to the Lernean Hydra with one of its heads immortal? Where’s Hercules when you need him?

I remember visiting the Science Museum in London with my late brother and my Dad especially to see the Friendship 7 capsule that John glen orbited the Earth in. It was amazingly small but a great testament to American spirit and Glen’s in particular. I wrote about the visit in the primary school magazine and won an award. My Gods, so many years ago.

Fortunately, John Glenn didn’t get so ‘spaced out’ from delays that he died before reaching old age.

I wonder how that two-color orange got lost!

The “Technical Problem” was that the fuse kept falling out of the bottom of the rocket….8:)

So? I find 2 color oranges in the bottom bin of my fridge quite regularly.

Oh, I forgot, it was an ACME Rocket that they used. Beep…Beep!

Hail Hydra!

If Hydras never age then they must be the same age as their parents – looks like a little paradox here.

Good old Ohio boy

Did all these astronaut pioneers drink Tang? This was all great trivia of them today.
