Fact of the Day: Hawaii

Hawaii became the 50th state in 1959. The islands have an area of 6,459 square miles (16,729 square kilometers). The name is thought to derive from Hawaiki, the former name of Raiatea, one of the Society Islands, from which Polynesians sailed in voyaging canoes to settle after AD 1000.

Fact of the Day: balloon/airship

"A balloon or airship is a type of aircraft that flies using lighter-than-air gases. The first balloon flight was made in France in 1783 by the Montgolfier Brothers. An unmanned balloon made of linen and paper was lifted by heated air, rose to 5,906 ft. (1,800 m), and flew 1 mile. The first manned flight was made later that year with a Montgolfier balloon. Hydrogen replaced hot air for filling balloons in the same year; gas was let out by a valve for descending. Balloons are now used for weather observations and for recreational rides. Airships or dirigibles are sausage-shaped balloons powered by propellers and engines. The first successful airship was flown in 1852 with a steam engine. In World War I, airships were use to bomb cities in Europe. By 1929 the famous Graf Zeppelin flew around the world but many disasters, including the fiery explosion of the Hindenburg in 1937, brought an end to their use as passenger vehicles. Now airships are lifted by helium and are used for advertising and filming."
