To: Bcc: From: Will Ford Sent Tue 7/23/2013 10:34:19 AM Subject: July 23rd tidbits & quotes Several of the most successful people in the world never even graduated from high school. Richard Branson, Frank Lloyd Wright, Walt Disney, Milton Hershey, John D. Rockefeller, Simon Cowell, George Foreman, Jay-Z, and Robert De Niro all have had incredible success without obtaining a high school diploma. In fact, Dave Thomas, the founder of Wendy's, actually went back to high school in 1993 to get his GED because he was worried that his success as a high school dropout might convince other teenagers to quit school. "To conquer we have to dare, to dare again, always to dare!" - Georges Danton For a spacecraft such as the Space Shuttle to maintain an orbit around the Earth at relatively low altitudes (95-310 nautical miles) it must travel at approximately 17,500 n/m per hour. At these altitudes and at this velocity it takes about 90 minutes to circle the earth. So once every 45 minutes the astronauts see a sunrise and a sunset, a total of 16 each every 24 hours.
