line of Lunar Mobility Vehicles that will provide transportation for
manned missions visiting the Moon. The collaboration aims to have the

ahead of the mission, and made available for lease to any
government-led expeditions there, either from the U.S. or other
nations.

Bryan Cranston nearly wiped out the cast of “The Office” when he directed an episode. The “Breaking Bad” star helmed the episode called ‘Work Bus’, which the actors renamed ‘Death Bus’ after an air-conditioning unit was found to have been pumping exhaust fumes into the vehicle where the cast was working. On “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert”, Cranston explained: “Jenna Fischer actually saved everyone’s life. She said, ‘I smell exhaust, it’s coming inside the bus. And I’m saying, ‘Jenna…that’s not (possible) … we have air conditioning.’ And she goes, ‘No, it’s coming in!’” He then stood on a chair to take a sniff from the air-conditioning unit and realized it was actually pumping in fumes from the bus’ exhaust pipe. He added: “I got nice and dizzy, then realized, ‘Oh my God, we could have all been dead’. It would have been one hell of an episode.”

Catnip isn’t just pleasurable for cats. It’s also practical. When your kitty rubs, rolls in, chews and licks catnip leaves, it leads to the release of compounds that might protect cats from mosquitoes, according to new research out of Japan. Compounds called iridoids in catnip and the plant silver vine act as an insect repellent as they are released when the cats rub their bodies against the leaves. Catnip, sometimes called catmint, and silver vine are also used in cat toys.

New Zealand has revealed plans to impose a carbon tax on farmers to tackle one of the country’s biggest sources of greenhouse gasses: barnyard animals that fart and burp too much. Proceeds from the new climate moo-vement will be directed into research, development, and advisory services to benefit the farmers that are forking out for the farts. The tax on agricultural emissions would make New Zealand the first country to make farmers pay for the gasses that their cows or sheep produce. New Zealand is home to 5 million people, compared to about 10 million cattle and 26 million sheep.

Khalia Carter’s senior quote is ringing true. For her quote, the Fort Myers FL, resident chose: “It’s almost impossible to get it done until it’s done. So, if you put your mind to it and work for it, you will do it.” She has been living by this sentiment since mid-April, when she was hit by an alleged drunk driver and suffered traumatic brain injuries. Instead of going to classes, she has spent the last few months at physical therapy, where she’s been learning how to walk again. Carter had to miss out on the typical end-of-year activities for seniors, but vowed to attend graduation. She made it clear her goal was to walk across the stage, unassisted, to receive her diploma, and when graduation day came, she did exactly that. Carter’s mother, Shawnda Cook said her reaction was: “Wow, this girl has the strength to move on, we need to look up to her.”
