Your 10 Best Science Updates of June

Your 10 Best Science Updates of June as curated by me, Andy Zach. I’ve always loved science; that led to me becoming a science fiction writer. Now I’m seeing science overtaking the science fiction of my youth, in the distant 60s.

Let’s start, shall we?

Your 10 Best Science Updates – Begin Here

I love watching old videos of our astronauts on the moon. Here we have the Apollo 15 crew dropping a hammer and a falcon feather (the space ship was named ‘Falcon’) in the moon’s vacuum. Galileo said four hundred years ago they should hit at the same time. Do they? Reply to this post or email me the answer and I’ll send you a free Zombie Turkeys ebook.

Here’s Your Next Science Update

What will you find in this science article? Oh, growing new organs from scratch. Also, you’ll find an inhalable drug to fight COVID-19. And then you’ll learn about AI used to manage vaccines. No science update would be complete without a supermaterial. It’s in here. Finally, you get a molecular breakdown of virii. Just what you wanted.

Number Three: Your Quadrennial Flying Car Report

“Quadrennial? Why would you use that weird word, Andy?”

Thanks for asking! I’ve kept at this blog for four years and this is my first flying car report. So enjoy!

FYI, I have a flying skateboard in my novel, Paranormal Privateers.

Your Next Foray Into Science Starts Here

For those who don’t click on any articles, let me summarize: neutron stars may be up to 2.3 solar masses. The lightest black hole so far is about 3 solar masses. The astronomers have discovered an object of 2.6 solar masses.

So what is it, blog readers? A black hole or a neutron star? The first one to contact me with the correct answer can get any book of mine for free.

Your Fifth Science Article Coming Up

I love outer space video, especially beautiful ones like this. How about you?

Your Sixth Step of Science

This story isn’t a video, but instead a gorgeous photo of Juiter from its south pole. Free free to use it as computer or phone background.

Seven Come Eleven–er Your 10 Best Science Updates

Here’s a science story about SpaceX commercially launching over 100 spacecrafts into orbit. Any of you read Robert Heinlein’s novella, The Mon Who Sold the Moon? It’s all about commercialization of spaceflight. If you read it, tell me what you think of it and I’ll send you a free book.

You’ll Feel Great with Number Eight

Step into our showroom and purchase an all new, 2020 NASA Mars rover! It’ll have 100% of the Martian market sown up.

Your Penultimate Science Update

Do you know what a directed graph is? Peruse the one above, of the lyrics of “99 Bottles of Beer”.

Finally, The End

Would you take a balloon into space?

Your final question, should you choose to answer it: would you take a balloon into space? Let me know, and get a free copy of my short story collection, Oops! Tales of the Zombie Turkey Apocalypse.

Your Five Funniest Memes of April, Curated by Me

Your Five Funniest Memes of April, Curated by Me. If you can find funnier stuff, let me know! Let’s start off with this video snippet.

This meme addresses the burning issue of paper media versus electronic media. This controversy has been debated all my life. Which do you prefer? Ebooks or paperback or audiobooks? I’ve got all three in my Life After Life Chronicles series.

Your Third Funny Meme of April

This next one is so relevant for today!

Do you have any pets? I have a black lab named Trip. Here’s a picture:

Have you ever had to put the cone of shame around your dog or cat? We haven’t done so with Trip, but our previous lab, Diesel, needed on. He had an operation on a joint and had to be kept from picking out the stitches.

Your Fourth Funny Meme – a Video

How could a video about driving on other planets be funny? Watch it and find out.

You don’t think that’s funny? Try my next video.

Who Stole the Kiska?

You don’t think a polka is funny? This is part of my youth growing up in Cleveland with Earnie Anderson, a who had a late movie program and he played the character Ghoulardi. He would play this song DURING old horror movies at the most inappropriate times.

Ghoulardi and Who Stole the Kishka?

Still don’t think it’s funny? Here’s another Yankovitz who’s always funny.
