Rocket Recycling
Earth Day is tomorrow and what better way to celebrate than a reusable rocket! SpaceX tested its Falcon9 on Friday and released the video today. It shows the rocket taking off and then landing. The video is pretty cool and has gone viral. According to SpaceX folks, there’s still a lot to work out, but this is a big first step and will eventually save gazillions. Okay maybe not gazillions, but a whole lot of money.
Netflix Raising Rates
So my husband and I are way behind on TV technology, which is ironic because we both are in the TV business. Over Christmas break, we finally bought our very first HDTV. This big screen has opened us up to a whole new world of entertainment including Netflix, and it seems we got in at just the right time. The company is raising its rates by a couple dollars for new subscribers. Rates for current subscribers will of course go up in the future, but no word when that will happen.
Codeine Warning
The FDA has announce today that pediatricians should not prescribe codeine to kids. The government agency has actually given the drug a black box warning, which is just short of banning it altogether. Yikes! Scary stuff.
Free Sauce
Want to go out to dinner this week where your kids can eat free? Fox Restaurants is teaming up with Expect More Arizona for Math Appreciation Month. Download this worksheet on fractions and have your student complete it for a free kid’s meal. (Hmmm… I wonder if they’d believe my 3-year-old can do fractions?)
Have a great week everybody!
