On December 21, 1968, a Saturn V rocket was launched from Florida that did something that had never been done before. It took three men outside of the orbit of the Earth.
They didn’t just leave the Earth's orbit; they orbited the moon, and while they were in the orbit of the moon, they sent a message to Earth, which was the most widely listened to broadcast in human history up to that point.
Learn more about the Apollo 8 mission and how it changed history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In the 1920s, Christmas was becoming a big deal. Christmas was becoming highly commercialized, and the Santa Claus that we know today was being established.
It was during this time one man saw an opportunity. He was able to fill a gap in the market and in answering the letters that children sent to Santa.
It was an incredible success, it was incredibly popular, and it was ultimately a giant scam.
Learn more about John Duval Gluk and the Santa Claus Association on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

If you live anywhere away from tropical latitudes, you might have experienced snow. In fact, depending on where you live, you might have experienced a whole lot of snow at various points in your life.
As a substance, snow has some very unique properties. On the one hand, it is very simple; it is just ice, but on the other hand, it is also extremely complex.
Snow can be very beautiful, but if you have to deal with it often enough, it can be very annoying and even dangerous.
Learn more about snow, what it is, how it is formed, and how it functions on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
