Smarter Every Day – Slow Motion Flipping Cat Physics
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs." --San Antonio Express-News

Cool!
If my wife ever sees this video, that guy is a dead man walking.
Cat: So what? Time for my nap.
Cat: Are you still here to bug me ?
Cat: You are so pitiful. Go be a human elsewhere.
Cat: snooze ……
This is a pretty zoned out cat. Just another day in the park!
Only humans will put human emotions on animals. For this cat, it is no problem. It can do it with a blindfold (Almost).

Reminds me of a segment of the TV program “You Asked For It” from the early 60’s. They were asking the same cat question except they drop a cat from a low flying, very slow speed Piper Cub. Yep, 4-leg landing every time. Can’t do that today because the Animals-are-more human people than evil humans are Liberal crowd would burn down the station, but execute the person dropping the cat.
Bread always lands butter side down, as well.
So if they attached buttered bread to the back of the cat and toss it in the air…
perpetual motion!!!
