“These five former senior advisors were eyewitnesses to President Biden’s condition and operations within the Biden White House,” Comer said in a statement. “They must appear before the House Oversight Committee and provide truthful answers about President Biden’s cognitive state and who was calling the shots.”
Goodyear had started experimenting with vessels that would be lighter than aircraft in the early 1900s, and the dirigibles have since become a lasting and iconic symbol of the corporate brand. For some, it evokes nostalgia, while for others it offers a glimpse into a larger-than-life part of advertisement history.The AP’s Lisa Dwyer reports on the anniversary of an iconic American symbol.
Locally and around the country, Crone said the brand has a “cult following.”“People love the airships,” he said. In the Akron area specifically, “they identify with Goodyear and identify with the airships. They’ve become part of this community.”One of those fans, Madison Hayberg, brought her 2-year-old son Levi with her to see the airships on Tuesday.
“I think it’s just a cool thing that a lot of us locally probably take for granted because we see it all the time,” she said. “I wanted to bring him because when I was younger I remember they retired one of them so my mom pulled us all from school, brought us and we got to see them all, so I thought it would be cool for him to do something similar.”Here is a by-the-numbers look at Goodyear airships over time:
Goodyear establishes an Aeronautics Department to build lighter-than-air aircrafts, and by 1912 the company had built its first balloon.
In 1930, the “Defender” blimp became the first airship in the world to carry a lit neon sign so the company’s name could be seen after dark.Made of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic with four wheels, ispace’s European-built rover — named Tenacious — sports a high-definition camera to scout out the area and a shovel to scoop up some lunar dirt for NASA.
The rover, weighing just 11 pounds (5 kilograms), will stick close to the lander, going in circles at a speed of less than one inch (a couple centimeters) per second.Besides science and tech experiments, there’s an artistic touch.
The rover holds a tiny, Swedish-style red cottage with white trim and a green door, dubbed the Moonhouse by creator Mikael Genberg, for placement on the lunar surface.Takeshi Hakamada, CEO and founder of ispace, considers the latest moonshot “merely a steppingstone,” with its next, much bigger lander launching by 2027 with NASA involvement, and even more to follow.
