Collier's is famous for their extensive "Man Will Conquer Space Soon!" series printed from 1952-54, but this is from another article of theirs on a similar topic printed several years before.
I'd be more impressed if it was a 1970s car they discovered.
Post Sputnik in 1957, Goodyear pushed an integrated set of rocket, spaceship, and space station designs, and continued to do so through the early 1960s until it became clear that NASA was going ahead with their own approach.
This image was printed in Missiles & Rockets magazine's March 1960 issue, so slightly outside our group timeframe. But the design itself is a bit earlier; this picture would have been by Goodyear themselves, sometime in 1958 or '59.
The Ambrosian Iliad is a late 5th or early 6th century illustrated manuscript of Homer's Iliad, the only illustrated text from Antiquity (and in fact, illustrations at all) of that poem. This particular image is one of 52, and shows the Greek camp near Troy.
This is a bronze sword found in southern Hubei province, China, in 1965. It is inscribed with bird-worm seal script characters reading "King Goujian of Yue made this sword for [his] personal use".

Whoever the writer thinks should be faster, so as to serve the needs of the story being told.
I'd say try reviving the group by posting there yourself for a while. There's probably a few people who are still subscribed to it, so you'll get more eyeballs right out of the box than you would starting a fresh one.
I don't know much about this one, a pick-up at the local used CD shop. I thought it was a Christmas album but it turned out to be one of those 90s solo alterna-chicks like Liz Phair, PJ Harvey, or Chris Cornell.
Springing from the otherwise non-existent Australian prog rock scene, the Lectroids released their self-titled debut album in 1971. The band members went their separate ways after selling only one copy, to electric flute player Gavin Whetstone's mother. Whetstone later formed the seminal punk band The Wankers.
The EU already has a land border in the Americas. French Guiana is part of the union and it touches Brazil and Suriname. So the gate is already open to work it from the south up instead of the north down.
I read somewhere -- great source, I know -- that the existing rule is that the country has to be in Europe, though, not that it has a border. Otherwise Malta, Ireland, and Cyprus would not qualify, and the UK too back when they were in.
Oddly enough, the Canadian/Danish border is a questionable one for this purpose anyway -- Hans Island (where the border is) is part of Greenland and Greenland is not in the EU. It left in 1985 and is now one of the "Overseas countries and territories" that have special rights in relation to the EU but are not actually in it.
Depends on the compressive strength of the material. Sooner or later the weight of the pyramid above the base exceeds the base's ability to support it. Considering that a mountain is basically a stone pyramid, Everest has to be in the neighbourhood of how tall you could go -- call it 10-12 kilometers high. Other materials would do better.
It's based on a short story called "Story of Your Life" by Ted Chiang. He's published only eighteen stories in his career (starting in 1990), nothing longer than a novella and mostly short stories. Despite that they've won him four Hugos, four Nebulas, and six Locus Awards. He's worth reading, is what I'm trying to say.
According to the UK's Department For International Trade it's overwhelmingly "Non-ferrous metal products" at $8.5 billion in 2019. Financial services (credit and "miscellaneous financial services") are 2 & 3 on the list by value, but only a bit more than $200 million in total for both of them.
It would probably be faster to list the things he doesn't have a negative view about.
Turned into a slurry and then administered as an enema.
It sometimes is, but the word is already taken for "a young pig"!
