You know John Glenn was the first American to orbit the Earth–his Mercury capsule circled the Earth three times before splashing down in the Atlantic Ocean. But who was the second U.S. astronaut to orbit the Earth? Don’t know? Don’t worry–you’ll find out in HuffPost Science’s debut “This Week In Science History” slideshow.

Ever look at a pneumatic tube at a bank and think, “Why couldn’t I travel like that?” A new form of high-tech transportation called Evacuated Tube Transport (ETT) could take passengers in car-sized capsules traveling through tubes so fast that you could make it from New York to Beijing in two hours. Unlike pneumatic tubes that work with air and suction, the ETT works via magnetic levitation and frictionless tubes.

Watching pornography would seem to be a vision-intensive task. But new research finds that looking at erotic movies can actually quiet the part of the brain that processes visual stimuli.

Mind-controlled Star Wars games are one thing, but what about using a thought-tracking device for a more practical application? Using technology to monitor brain waves could, for instance, offer a means of communication for people who can’t speak.

Talk about flashbacks. New research suggests that LSD–a mind-altering drug known to cause recurrent hallucinations–may find new popularity not as a recreational drug but as a treatment for alcoholism.

FROM NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC DAILY NEWS

Using the most powerful laser system ever built, scientists have brought us one step closer to nuclear fusion power, a new study says.

The same process that powers our sun and other stars, nuclear fusion has the potential to be an efficient, carbon-free energy source—with none of the radioactive waste associated with the nuclear fission method used in current nuclear plants.

Nuclear fusion plant possible within a decade, physicist says.
