Shocking News! Did you know Leonardo da Vanci is believed to be a homosexual? Well, he is! Scientist think this, because Leonardo never even mentioned a women, not even a friendship with one. He even described "precreation as repulsive!" If you think Leonardo's inventions were always big and complicated as I once did, you're wrong. One of his first inventions was a device used to ecaspe from
a locked cell! I guess every inventor has to start somewhere! I was also surprised that Leonardo wasn't swimming in money and fine, rare things. I assumed that for such a talented, smart, and well known man he would be rich and powerful. Turns out, Leoanardo is just one of the middle class folk just like us!

One surprising thing I learned about James Lovell was he got picked for NASA's first 7 astronauts, out of 500 pilots. Secondly, he saved Apollo 13 from a life or death scenario, with little time. Lastly, he was the first man to travel out of earths orbit, and to the far side of the moon.

One thing i found shocking was that he didnt let his color blindness stop him. If i had that i would stop trying to do alot. Another thing that i found shocking is how many websites he has made in the past. He started making websites when he was in highschool. I also found that he got in trouble for making a popularity website very shocking. To me i wouldnt really care about any type of website like that so why does it even matter?!
