The First World War was just over but outside of Europe the ground still fumed.
At least two European countries applied hundreds of tons of mustard gas in a new founded republic and smashed it.
Later the own country fought against the remained rebels using Napalm and still today a vast number of people there suffer from cancer.

Early in October. Shortly an important transmission, eagerly awaited, shall come in. A random look of the randomly present CTO caused panic: they cannot record and read the transmission! They missed something. As quick as possible a jet plane was sent from the capital to the about 1.300 km distant location to fix the default. Not a moment too soon the delivery reached its destination.
What was delivered, and for what?
Task 17
Man, that was not easy!
The answer is: Pictures of the far side of the moon were delivered by the Soviet Luna-3 space probe.

A vehicle, a dolly, driven mechanical by manpower, can be called draisine or velocipede (indepentdent from the amount of wheels!).
WHEN and WHERE did such a vehicle was watched for the (probable) very first time? It was reported in written form.
Task 18
The most common thing that can be called a draisine, velocipede, or trolley that doesnt have two wheels is a handcar. Hand cars were were used primarily in North America as railway transportation. The US used many different types of handcars and it is uncertain when they were actually invented but they appeared after 1840.
The draisine was invented by Karl von Drais in 1817 in Germany and was the predecessor to the bicycle and often called a velocipede.
Also called velocipedes were tricycles and quadricycles. The Quadricycle was first seen in 1853 in New York.
A singer (female), a very good singer, also often and exhaustively watches the sky.
For that she manufactured hyper-accurate instruments. She's cataloguing and charting the starry sky and readjusting existing data material some hundred times. Several times she is acknowledged with awards of different societies, academies and governments. Also her brother - she keeps the house for him - is exploring the universe, in doing so he discovers a planet of our sun system.
Tell me the name of the singer.
