Watermelon is the summer’s
favorite vegetable. Yes, vegetable—
not fruit. It is a member of the
cucumber, pumpkin, and squash
family. This juicy favorite is 92%
water, and the average American

The first hot-air balloon
passengers were animals:
a sheep, a duck, and a hen
The flight lasted eight minutes
and reached a maximum
height of 500 meters.
Louis XVI, the King of France, witnessed the flight in Versailles on
September 19, 1783. The animals landed, unharmed, 3.5 kilometers from
their starting point. Two months after the flight of the animals, Pilatre de
Rozier, a physics professor, and the Marquis Francois D'Arlandes, a major in
the infantry, became the first humans to fly above Paris. The flight lasted
about 28 minutes, at an altitude of roughly 1000 meters.
