Murder, curses and demon cats. Statues descending from their pedestals for midnight minuets. There are scarier things than lawmaking going on inside the U.S. Capitol.Walk through the Rotunda late at night and the only sound might be the 180-foot-high iron dome creaking in the cool air. But those with sharper ears and broader imaginations might also hear, behind the 850 doorways, the footsteps of the stricken John Quincy Adams or the assassinated James Garfield.There was plenty of noise Thursday, as authorities closed down the House after guards saw what they thought was a firearm on a security camera at a Capitol office building across the street. It turned out to be a toy, part of a Halloween costume an employee was bringing in.

Why do astronauts hop on the moon After carefully watching hapless volunteers use a treadmill under variable gravity, researchers think it had more to do with the stiffness of spacesui

As the plane climbs and dives while tracing out each parabola, the gravity increases and decreases, with way-too-brief moments of zero gravity at the peak.

At the end, they concluded that astronauts on the moon were hopping not because it was the most comfortable a

Why were early space suits so stiff They prioritized life support systems over mobility. And, it could ;ve been a lot worse 8230; It ;ll be interesting to see where the next generational of space suits draw the line, if they shift closer to skin-tight ultra-mobile designs, and how that changes for tourist space suits. If the knee joins are flexible enough, the next time astronauts visit the moon, those small steps may look a lot more like walking than giant metaphorica
