Original NASA Project Gemini Training Console

Taking place between 1961 and 1966, Project Gemini's purpose was to develop space travel techniques for the Apollo mission to land astronauts on the Moon. The project produced 12 flights, 10 of them manned, carrying icons like Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong. Before the astronauts boarded the spacecraft, they trained at the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston on this attitude and maneuver control system. The console mimicked the instruments inside Gemini and simulated the systems so crew members could control the spacecraft before liftoff. Built by Burtek Inc. for McDonnell in 1963, the console features an 8-foot wide instrument panel, a gimbal system, central joystick, and instructor's control panel all mounted on a 6 x 3 foot base with casters.

The KilgourMD Bundle

Stanford dermatologist Dr. James Kilgour's eponymous hair growth brand, KilgourMD, has been shown to outperform the popular minoxidil, which only works to regrow hair once it's gone. The KilgourMD Bundle, however, puts patients on the offensive, too, providing a dual-acting proactive and reactive solution to hair thinning and hair loss. In clinical studies, the system — which is made from natural, plant-derived extracts and comprises The Prevention Scalp Serum and The Treatment — decreased visible hair fall by up to 30% and stimulated hair follicle growth by up to 200% over two months. Save 15% when bundling.
