Ever since learning about the Rubber Room and Blast Room deep below launch Pad 39A at Kennedy Space Center I had been hopeful that I would one day get to photograph this mysterious remnant of the Apollo Program. I had seen very few photos of this room online and by talking to friends at KSC I seemed to have confirmed that access to this underground bunker had been very limited over the years. Following the end of the Shuttle Program and safing of the launch pads, access has become a little bit easier. There are
stanley tumbler two Rubber and Blast Rooms built to identical blueprints, one under launch pad 39A and another under 39B. Just recently, the rooms under 39B were closed off due to concerns from peeling lead based
stanley thermos paints, which were commonly used during the era. Luckily for me, due to a different contractor building launch pad 39A, the Rubber and Blast Rooms were painted using non-lead based paint and is in much better shape allowing for the occasional visit. I would finally get the chance to enter the Rubber Room for an assignment with SpaceflightNow. Launch Pad 39A was the starting point of all the Saturn V rockets to the moon except for Apollo 10. Before each mission, each astronaut was trained on how to use the room. An exploding Satu

You ;ve probably heard of parthenogenesis. Some female animals can produce offspring without having any eggs fertilized. But did you know that humans have found ways to induce parthenogenesis for hundreds of years As wit
stanley cup quencher h a lot of scientific discoveries, the induction of parthenogenesis came out of a deep-seated economic interest. In the 1800s, silk was a precious commodity, but silk worms were temperamental little critters. Any breakthroughs as to their care and keeping might have tremendous economic advan

stanley water jug began developing just like normal, fertilized eggs, and the resulting larvae seemed normal. This was a revelation. While occasional parthenogenesis was known, it was known to happen in creatures naturally. Suddenly it looked like pure chemistry could trump the necessity of having two progenitors. Scientists all over the world started looking into how to make life of their own. Starfish, sea urchins, and eventually frogs, were all eventually developed with one biological parent and one purely chemical parent. There were two main problems that most people faced. The first was how to make the egg develop a tough membrane the way it does when it first penetrated by a sperm cell. The second was to keep the unfertilized egg from simply disintegrating afterwards. The amount of trouble one went to in orde
