In 1892, James Dewar, a Scottish born scientist, working at
Cambridge University, invented the vacuum-insulated flask,
a scientific vessel for storing liquefied gases. It was not a
household item fit for everyday use like carrying warm coffee.

In 1906, the company Thermos GmbH was formed by Burger

While Porky’s Hare Hunt was the first Warner Bros. cartoon to
feature a prototype of Bugs Bunny, A Wild Hare, directed by
Tex Avery character designed by Bob Givensand released on
July 27, 1940, is widely considered to be the first official Bugs
Bunny cartoon. It is the first film where both Elmer Fudd and
Bugs, both redesigned by Bob Givens, are shown in their fully
developed forms as hunter and tormentor, respectively; the first
in which Mel Blanc (below) uses what became Bugs’ standard
voice; and the first in which Bugs uses his catchphrase, "What’s
up, Doc?" A Wild Hare was a huge success in theaters and
received an Academy Award nomination for Best Cartoon
Short Subject.

mission to the moon’s surface in 1969 has been auctioned off to
a bidder for nearly $2.8 million.

the highest for any American space-flown artifact sold at auction, according to Sotheby’s, which handled the sale. The unidentified
winning bidder, who participated by phone, outlasted several
others in a bidding that spanned almost 10 minutes.

Buzz Aldrin ( Edwin Eugene Aldrin Jr.) turned 92 in January.
