A look at downtown Akron.
NBA star of the world champions Cleveland Cavaliers basketball team was born and raised in Akron.
In the downtown area of Akron, an area was developed to bring people into the city for free concerts and outdoor activities including ethnic festivals.
an old painting of Akron as it looked in 1870, but is now home to over 200,000 people.
another view of Cleveland. Home of the Cleveland Browns football team, the Cleveland Indians baseball team and the world champions Cleveland Cavaliers basketball team.
The term rock and roll began in Cleveland
Years ago, this river caught on fire because of the pollution in it. The city since has cleaned it up and made the area a tourist attraction with many stores and entertainment revenues.
Cleveland as it was in the past, but now home to nearly half a million people.
This is the capital city of the state of Ohio.
One of the largest universities in the United States.
The stadium holds over 105,000 people for sporting and other events. The Ohio State football program is one of the best in the country.
Columbus in the past, but now home to over 800,000 people.
Cincinnati is located in the south-west part of the state along side the Ohio River.
In the center of this aerial view, you will see the stadiums of the Cincinnati Bengals football team and the Cincinnati Reds baseball team.
A painting of Cincinnati in the 1800`s and home of around 300,000 people.
Toledo and the Maumee River in the winter. you can see the ice on the river.
Toledo is now home to over 280,000 people.

Do they have seat-belts "on" the plane?
Let`s all go to grandma`s house.

Yes, these were painted by Adolph Hitler. It makes one wonder what the world would be like if he would have stayed in art.

Probably the number one conspiracy theory is the picture of the flag waving on the moon when there is no atmosphere. There is a simple explanation: it was due to inertia of wiggling the flag post into the lunar surface and because the horizontal rod that runs along the top of the flag got stuck part way out. This meant that the flag didn't "unfurl" fully and is hanging like a curtain rather than being stretched flat as was the original intention. The rod was used because NASA knew that, with no atmosphere and hence no wind, a flag would just hang down.

The Apollo spacecraft passed through the inner belt in a matter of minutes and the outer belt in about 1 1⁄2 hours. The astronauts were shielded from the ionizing radiation by the aluminum hulls of the spacecraft. The inner belt is the more dangerous one, containing energetic protons.

The lunar land modules did scatter a lot of dust, but in the landing itself, the power was decreased for many technical reasons and because of the light gravity that is with the moon.
About a 10 minute video to explain and even visualize the landing.
The light from the sun hitting the surface of the moon is too bright for any camera to capture something in the distance -- it would wash out any light coming from distant stars in the sky. Just as it is harder to see stars from a city because of the lights than it is to them from out of the city. All the lunar missions were done during the daylight, which lasts 29 Earth days.
The Lunar Modules used Aerozine 50 (fuel) and dinitrogen tetroxide (oxidizer) propellants, chosen for simplicity and reliability; they ignite hypergolically – upon contact – without the need for a spark. These propellants produce a nearly transparent exhaust.

ready for take off. The camera was on the lunar rover and controlled from earth.
There are satellites that orbit the moon and since the debris is too small to see from a telescope, the satellite images show evidence of the lunar landing and man`s foot prints on the lunar surface.
A great example of how to reply to a person that thinks the moon landing and other scientific advancements from NASA are fake.
A video that puts the nail in the coffin for the conspiracy theory that NASA faked the man moon landings
They still will not accept that we landed on the moon-----they will say it is a film made in Hollywood.

A video to help explain what E=mc2 means.
Some more information
For all the Sheldon Coopers out there.
using a meme to look at this
E = mc2. It's the world's most famous equation, but what does it really mean? "Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared." On the most basic level, the equation says that energy and mass (matter) are interchangeable; they are different forms of the same thing. Under the right conditions, energy can become mass, and vice versa. We humans don't see them that way—how can a beam of light and a walnut, say, be different forms of the same thing?—but Nature does.
So why would you have to multiply the mass of that walnut by the speed of light to determine how much energy is bound up inside it? The reason is that whenever you convert part of a walnut or any other piece of matter to pure energy, the resulting energy is by definition moving at the speed of light. Pure energy is electromagnetic radiation—whether light or X-rays or whatever—and electromagnetic radiation travels at a constant speed of 300,000 km/sec (186,000 miles/sec).
Why, then, do you have to square the speed of light? It has to do with the nature of energy. When something is moving four times as fast as something else, it doesn't have four times the energy but rather 16 times the energy—in other words, that figure is squared. So the speed of light squared is the conversion factor that decides just how much energy lies within a walnut or any other chunk of matter. And because the speed of light squared is a huge number—90,000,000,000 (km/sec)2—the amount of energy bound up into even the smallest mass is truly mind-boggling.
Here's an example. If you could turn every one of the atoms in a paper clip into pure energy—leaving no mass whatsoever—the paper clip would yield 18 kilotons of TNT. That's roughly the size of the bomb that destroyed Hiroshima in 1945. On Earth, however, there is no practical way to convert a paper clip or any other object entirely to energy. It would require temperatures and pressures greater than those at the core of our sun.
