    FIRST AMERICAN SATELLITE
    January 31, 1958 - United States

    The United States entered the space age by launching the first successful orbiting satellite, Explorer-I, four months after the Soviet launch of Sputnik on 4 Oct 1957. Explorer-I measured cosmic radiation, and led to the discovery of the Van Allen radiation belt. Its instrumentation included temperature sensors, a micrometeorite impact microphone, and a ring of micrometeorite erosion gauges. Data from these instruments were returned by a 60-mW transmitter operating on 108.03 MHz and a 10-milliwatt transmitter operating on 108.00 MHz. Explorer-I was 80-inch long, 6-in diam, weighed 31-lb with 18-lb of payload and was delivered into orbit using a Jupiter-C rocket. The orbit had a period of 114.9 minutes.

    FIRST PRIMATE IN SPACE
    January 31, 1961 - U.S. launched a 4-year-old male chimpanzee

    The U.S. launched a 4-year-old male chimpanzee named Ham on a Mercury-Redstone 2 rocket into suborbital flight to test the capabilities of the Mercury capsule. During his 16.5 minute suborbital flight, Ham experienced about 7 minutes of weightlessness, reached an altitude of 108 miles and a speed of 13,000 mph. He was wired to medical sensors to monitor his vital signs. During flight, Ham performed some simple tasks such as pulling levers when a light came on for a reward of banana pellets. Ham was recovered safely 1,425 miles downrange. This was a test flight before risking the lives of human beings. Now, after Ham's successful flight, NASA was ready to launch the first Mercury astronaut, Alan Shepard, into sub-orbital flight three months later.

Making a decision to follow the same hairstyle that your favorite celebrity is wearing might be frustrating. Always remember that your hairstyle must suit your face and personality. So, before you take that drastic measure and cut your hair ten inches, change your hair color to sneaky salmon, or start to loc your hair think over it twice.

Hairstyle is based on several factors. A growing number of men and women both are concerned about how their total looks. They are concerned about every factor that rules their overall appearance and so they go to great lengths to get it to look a certain way. There are people simply do not other about these different and important factors while there are still others who actually have proper knowledge about the relation of the different hairstyles and their looks. So the key to getting a good hairstyle is to concentrate on all the factors that directly and indirectly govern your hairstyle.

The different factors are your sex, age, profession, climate of the place, occasion and your hair quality, length, texture and color. Hairstyle changes with your age. You cannot follow the same hairstyles of 20?s in your 70?s. There are different hairstyles for different age people. Next there are different hairstyles for men and women. There are also hairstyles that can be followed by both the sex. It depends on you what you follow. Your profession is also a very important factor when choosing your hairstyle. Surely enough, a funky hairstyle will not suit your ?corporate? profession.

Make yourself outstanding with your right choice of hairstyle. There are some styles that goes well with the certain climate while others do not. While many would think how a climate can affect a hairstyle- it is not something weird that I am writing here but it do happens. Let me explain it to you- your hair swells and expands when it is wet. It behaves in the same way in a humid climate too, where the air is full of moisture. Humidity makes hair fluffy and, if your hair is prone to curling, it will cause frizz. There are different hairstyles for different events. Hair do for wedding will obviously look out of place in an office party.

Lastly is your hair with which the style goes. For a particular hairstyle every point like quality, length, texture and color are considered to make it successful. If you are among those who give priority to hairstyling then it will be good for you to consult with a trained, professional stylist. There is a lot of difference between hair cutting and hair styling. You will come across a lot of people out there who cut hair and are very good at it, but not all of them can tell you the right style for your hair type and lifestyle.
