The retroreflectors left as part of the Apollo Lunar Ranging Experiment are still fully functional, though their reflective efficiency has diminished over the years.
While 'Jeopardy!' fans are at home wishing the commercial break was over so they can get back to the trivia action, the contestants are preparing for the next stage of the game.
You might be surprised to learn that a few bent blades of grass are about the only damage that occurs when Marine One takes off and lands at the White House. But your ego could get bruised if you don't hold onto your hat—or any other garment that could go
