If you do anything for 42 years, you're going to have some ups and downs. Over the 42 seasons of Saturday Night Live, the cast, crew, and writers have brought us skits that became part of the cultural lexicon — and a few seasons where the show probably should have been canceled. But there are a few key parts to making a good skit and Karsten Runquist has identified three of them that go a long way toward making us laugh.
Keep the wheel straight and smash the throttle — driving a car on a top speed run seems pretty straightforward. But it isn't. In 1997, Royal Air Force pilot Andy Green piloted the Thrust SSC into the record books, becoming the first vehicle to break the sound barrier on land. Andy talks about what it takes to drive a car powered by two jet engines across the desert floor at over 763 MPH.
In 1958, the United States launched the first solar-powered satellite, Vanguard 1, into orbit. Over 2,200 days later, it's still in orbit — just one of millions of pieces of debris orbiting the Earth. As space around the planet becomes more crowded with the leftovers of human spaceflight, it poses a grave danger to the future of space exploration.

Marvel is expanding its universe into yet another realm with its latest spinoff.

But the homecoming is short-lived when Erik Killmonger tries to take over the kingdom. Starring Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan, and Lupita Nyong'o, the film is slated for release February 16, 2018.
Classic cars aren't the only retro artifacts Cuba has been preserving for decades. The capital has been glowing with the fluorescent hue of neon signs since the '40s and '50s. With his project Havana light, artist Kadir López Nieves is restoring the city's abandoned signs one-by-one and putting the electric art pieces back on display.
Collars & Co. got its start making polos masquerading as dress shirts. While they look good under jackets, the performance polos look equally as good under that most versatile of pieces, the quarter-zip pullover. Equally as suitable for a chilly morning round of golf as a breezy sunset dinner, they come in a variety of styles, including reversible styles, stretchy, wrinkle-resistant golf models, cashmere and merino blends, and even cable-knit offerings for cooler weather. No matter which one you choose, it's sure to become a wardrobe staple.
