I found an interesting non-fiction book on the shelf called, "Extreme Science : Science in the Danger Zone" by Larry Verstraete. My first choice article from the book was titled, "Cut the rope." This article was about an inventor named Elisha Otis who invented the safety elevator. He helped change the future of city skylines with skyscrapers and tall buildings being built.
The second article that I shared was about how space engineers sent 2 spiders, minnows, minnow eggs and 450 fruit flies into space. I'm sure you're asking yourself the big question, "Why?" Scientists and space engineers wanted to see what they would do if they were in a place with no gravity. The spiders first wove webs that were sloppy and the minnows swam in circles. I'm pleased to say they eventually figured it out. The spiders were able to fix their webs and the minnows stopped swimming in circles.
Space exploration and science engineers are continually working together to find innovative ways to explore and help our world with their inventions.
