Bear Creek Pioneers Park

Bear Creek Pioneers Park is a 2,154-acre (8.72 km2) park located in the U.S. city of Houston, Texas, at 3535 War Memorial Drive. It is sometimes called "Harris County Bear Creek Park", or simply "Bear Creek Park." History Between 1946 and 1948, the Addicks Reservoir was constructed by the United States Army Corps of Engineers to prevent a repetition of the sort of disastrous flooding that Houston experienced in 1935. Bear Creek Pioneers Park occupies a portion of this reservoir. The park land had previously been occupied since the 1840s by mostly German immigrant farmers and their descendants. Harris County leased 2,154 acres (8.72 km2) of the reservoir in 1965 and began to develop the park. Park Description The park is 2,154.63 acres (8.7195 km2) in size and has paved roads and parking spaces that visitors can use. The park also has walking trails, an equestrian trail, a small zoo (including buffaloes, an ostrich, and emus) and aviary, playgrounds, soccer fields, little league and softball fields, a football field with a chalkboard, four lighted tennis courts, eight picnic pavilions, horseshoe courts, and hundreds of picnic tables and grills. Near the aviary ducks can be seen walking freely around a pond. The park also has restrooms all around the park and drinking water fountains. The park is open all week from 7:00 am until 10:00 pm (local time). There is no cost to enter the park but pavilions must be reserved before use. Picnic tables and grills do not need to be reserved. The park has no stores and visitors must bring their own food if they plan on eating or drinking. Origin of park name Bear Creek Pioneers Park gets its name from one of the creeks (i.e., Bear Creek) that flow through the area. Actually, Langham Creek virtually bisects the entire park. Originally spelled "Behr" Creek due to the German immigrants whom initially settled the area in the 19th century, the name became Anglicized to "Bear Creek" as the English-speaking influence became more prevalent. Harris County War Memorial The Harris County War Memorial is found in this park, next to the Eldridge Parkway entrance. The Memorial was built in 1985 to honor known residents who lost their lives in World War I and the wars ever since. Memorial services are held at the War Memorial every Memorial Day at 2:00 p.m. Wildlife habitat The wildlife habitat located in the park consists of a duck and goose pond, an aviary, and exhibits for various animals including birds of prey, peacocks, scald-crows, bison, emus, pot bellied pigs, white-tailed deer, donkeys, sheep, and goats.

Beer Can House

The Beer Can House is a folk art house in Houston, Texas, that is covered with beer cans and other beer paraphernalia. The distinct appearance was created by a local railroad employee and avid beer drinker, John Milkovisch, from 1968 through the late 1980s. About The Beer Can House is located in the neighborhood of Rice Military, at 222 Malone Street. It is covered with flattened beer cans, bottle caps, bottles, and other beer ephemera. The house is estimated to include over 50,000 beer cans. It one of Houston's most recognizable pieces of folk art. History John Milkovisch, who worked as an upholsterer for the Southern Pacific Railroad, started creating the Beer Can House in 1968, after he covered his entire front and back yards with cement. Milkovisch inlayed pieces of rocks and metal in concrete blocks to create patios, fences, flower boxes, and other outdoor features. When asked why he did it, he simply answered, "I got sick of mowing the grass." Milkovisch watched for beer trucks from his front porch, and visited the grocery store for beer after new deliveries arrived according to his son Ronald, who also said he "never had less than 8 to 10 cases stacked up in the garage." He particularly enjoyed Falstaff beer. The Beer Can House is owned and operated by The Orange Show Center for Visionary Art, a non-profit organization founded in 1980 that focuses on works of extraordinary imagination and personal artistic vision. At a ribbon cutting for the project, Houston mayor Bill White praised "the hard work of generating all those beer cans" and noted that "most people who take the lead in doing something truly innovative are considered a little bit crazy". A wall inside the structure features the following quote from Milkovisch: "They say every man should leave something to be remembered by. At least I accomplished that goal." In March 2004, John Milkovisch was named Man of the Week on Spike TV. In 2010 comedy news site Cracked.com said, "if there's ever a vote on who the awesomest guy ever was, John Milkovisch ought to at least be on the ballot."

Axiom Space

Axiom Space ist ein US-amerikanisches Raumfahrtunternehmen mit Sitz in Houston, Texas. Das Unternehmen wurde 2016 u. a. von Michael Suffedini, einem ehemaligen NASA-Programmdirektor (2005–2015) für die Internationale Raumstation (ISS), gegründet. Auch andere Angestellte und Führungsmitglieder stammen aus dem Umfeld der NASA und der US-Raumfahrtindustrie, darunter die ehemaligen Astronauten Michael López-Alegría und Brent Jett. Raumstation Axiom Space wird seit 2020 verstärkt in der Öffentlichkeit wahrgenommen, da sie von der NASA mit dem Bau und Betrieb des Raumstationmoduls Hab One zur Ankopplung an die ISS beauftragt wurde. Mit dem Modul bzw. mehreren neuen, miteinander verbundenen Modulen sollen die US-Raumfahrtaktivitäten und auch die ISS weiter kommerzialisiert werden. Sie sollen die bisherige ISS auch nach deren Betriebsende ersetzen. Die NASA hatte dazu im Next-Space-Technologies-for-Exploration-Partnerships-2-Programm (NextSTEP 2) eine Ausschreibung gestartet, aus der Axiom Space als Sieger hervorgegangen war. Als Ankopplungspunkt ist der vordere Kopplungsstutzen am US-Teil der ISS vorgesehen. Der Start des ersten Axiom-Moduls wurde zunächst für 2024 angestrebt und soll nun frühestens Ende 2026 erfolgen. Bemannte Raumflüge Axiom Space organisiert auch bemannte Flüge zur ISS mit dem SpaceX-Raumschiff Crew Dragon. Raumanzüge Im Juni 2022 beauftragte die NASA Axiom Space neben Collins Aerospace mit der Entwicklung neuer Raumanzüge. Weiterhin ist auch das italienische Modelabel Prada an der Gestaltung der Raumanzüge beteiligt. Die Axiom Extravehicular Mobility Unit (AxEMU) soll für Außenbordeinsätze an der ISS und auf der Mondoberfläche bei Artemis-Missionen verwendet werden.
