RALEIGH

COLUMBIA

The carnivorous Venus flytrap plant,

found only on the wet coastal plains of

North and South Carolina, can count.

It requires two separate stimuli on

trigger hairs before the trap is sprung

to avoid “false alarms” caused by

raindrops, twigs, etc.

During the Apollo Space Program

NASA launched a total of 13 Saturn V

rockets from the Kennedy Space Center.

Each rocket was 363 ft (111 m) high,

weighed around 3000 tons (tonnes)

and generated 7,648,000 lbs (34 MN)

of thrust at launch.
