Movie memorabilia superfan Adam Savage went to visit his friend Peter Jackson — who not only has a massive collection of movie props, he's also directed some movies with great memorabilia himself. Peter and Adam geek out over a choice piece of Peter's collection — an original HAL 9000 panel from Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Interplanetary travel isn't easy. There are all kinds of ways to die — radiation, solar flares, equipment failures. But before you get to space, you need to get off the ground, and that's dangerous too. And if you actually make it to Mars — well, you get the idea.
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.
