May 4May 4 Technically, though not its intended purpose, there would have been bacteria both inside and outside of the German's A-4 test rocket, (the first man-made object to fly above the Karman Line) making bacteria the first organic life man put into space.The correct way of putting the question (unless it is a trick question) would be, "What was the first living creature to be intentionally sent into outer space?" :^Þ The idea is to keep an open mind... just not so open that your brains fall out. - Harry Anderson

They also didn't have the same level of 'clean rooms' where rockets were built, so naturally bacteria would be present and easily would have gone along for the ride! Excellent point!

May 6May 6 Author Correct answer to Question 136 - The UniverseWhat was the first living creature to be sent into outer space?B: Fruit FliesCorrect answer to Question 137 - The UniverseTrue or FalseEvery planet in the solar system can fit between the Earth and the Moon.A: TrueThe Moon seems pretty far away, but is it distant enough that you can fit all the planets between the Earth and the Moon? The answer is yes, but only sometimes! The Moon’s orbit around the Earth is elliptical (not a perfect circle). When the Moon is at its closest approach (perigee), the planets don’t fit inside the orbit. However, when the Moon is at is furthest distance (apogee), all the planets (plus the dwarf planets Pluto and Eris) fit nicely.

May 17May 17 Author Question 141 - TVThe Bachelor. As of the beginning of 2022 there was 25 seasons of this show.How many roses had been given out in those 25 seasons?A: 299B: 982C: 1,604D: 3,284
May 18May 18 My problem is, besides having never watched the show, is that I don't know how many 'contestants' there are at the beginning of the season. Don't they give a rose to the weekly 'loser'? Or maybe it's the weekly winner??? I DON'T KNOW!!! I guessed that there were 20 contestants at the beginning of the season. 20 x 25 (seasons) = 500 roses... but that's not one of the choices. What it comes down to, because I don't know how the show works, is that I have to take a wild guess. (I suppose I could've done that without all these angsty words). So my wild guess is: A: 299
