One Giant Leap
On July 20, 1969, Astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the Moon, and 19 minutes later, Buzz Aldrin joined him. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of this landmark event, here are five little known facts about the first moon landing… If the Mission Went Wrong, the Astronauts Had a Plan to Care for Their Families Many people carry life insurance policies but purchasing one to insure an astronaut would probably cost a great deal, so the Apollo 11 astronauts came up with a plan to take care of their families if the mission went wrong.

The Libertarian Notions of Liberty are Impractical
The libertarians believe that liberty is a magic wand that can cure society of all its woes. But history of last 2500 years shows that most city-states and nations where people enjoyed a high level of liberty were remarkably short-lived. Several examples can be considered to establish the point that greater the liberty, shorter the lifespan of the society: Ancient Athens after the Peloponnesian War, Ancient Rome, and Florence during the time of the Renaissance. The good thing about liberty is that it leads to flowering of art, science, and private enterprise—it brings prosperity and... more »

Long Before Now
Republicans largely remained silent after Donald Trump's racist attack on four congresswomen of colour. But privately, Greg Sargent writes, they're scared: What is it about “send her back” that suddenly crossed a line? Consider the timeline: Trump tweets that the lawmakers should “go back” to their countries, characterizing them as corrupt hellholes (echoing his “s----hole countries” comment), even though three were born here. That elicits only a bit of discomfort from Republicans. Trump then says, “if you hate our country, if you’re not happy here, you can leave.” Trump repeats... more »
