Watch as artist and Youtuber “Old Things Never Die” restores a vintage USAF GEMINI X-5 space ship toy from the 1960s, which he bought on eBay for $30. The toy was originally made in Japan by Masudaya Toys Co., which according to wikipedia, still exists today! This is a company that was founded in 1924 in Tokyo, Japan, and became known for its wonderful post World War II era toys!

From “Old Things Never Die”:

The seller told me that he didn’t know if it worked but by disassembling it, I had the bad surprise to discover it had already been modified before. The engine was missing and the bulbs no longer worked. It took me a month to restore but it was worth it, watch till the end to see this beautiful old toy in action.

How Gas Masks Work and The Science Behind Them

How Gas Masks Work

Have you ever wondered how gas masks work? If this is the case, be sure to check out this video from TED-Ed taking a look at the science behind them and how they actually protect you. After all, with wildfires becoming more frequent and climate change exacerbating air pollution, understanding how these devices work could eventually become crucial. If you’ve worn a regular face mask in a very polluted city during an episode of smog, you’ll know what I’m talking about. When you remove it at the end of the day, you’ll see the coloration that pollution left on it on its surface.
