Big Money
Eat your heart out, Musk and Bezos. Augustus Caesar, the first Roman Emperor, is thought to be the wealthiest person ever, with $4.6 trillion in today’s dollars.
Percolation
Facts are like a great cup of coffee. They need time to percolate before they’ll wake you up.
Decision fatigue
Tired? How many decisions do you make during an average day? If your guess was “about 35,000,” then you’re right. No wonder it’s such a chore to decide on dinner…
Roomy accommodations in space
At least the two astronauts stuck on the ISS (with 5 others) had some room. The Space Station has about 32,000+ cubic feet of pressurized space—about the same as the interior of a 747 or 4/5-bedroom house.
A short drive as the crow flies...
“Space isn’t remote at all. It’s only an hour’s drive away if your car could go straight upwards.” Sir Fred Hoyle, British Astronomer
Space-ious
Astronauts Frank Borman and Jim Lovell stayed in the 55-cubic-foot Gemini 7 capsule for nearly 14 days. A standard phone booth offers about 72 cubic feet of interior space.
Tiny brains
“Thinking small is a self-fulfilling prophecy.” Jeff Bezos, Robert Kiyosaki and a bunch of others.
