A pro-slavery southerner, Slack was promoted to brigadier general by the Confederate States of America on April 17, 1862. Given he had already died on March 21, 1862, this raises to questions about zombies leading the Confederate army. Forgive me, I must go: I have a terrible novel to write.
I believe the definition of "space" is wide enough that some of the rockets made it there, but we wouldn't have any satellites just yet. One of the big innovations was using balloons to lift rockets up so that they could skip out part of the launch. These "rockoons" are... interesting.
You'd think that a ship that "did not have good sailing qualities" would have a short, uneventful career. Beaulieu most decidedly did not. With sixteen years of service (and three more sitting in Deptford Dockyard before being broken up) between 1791 and 1806, it participated in the capture of three islands and had two mutinies, as well as a few more battles and skirmishes.
An Australian soldier awarded the George Cross for his actions as a prisoner of war during the Korean War, Madden had served in the Australian Army during World War II and reenlisted to fight in Korea in 1950. After being captured in April 1951 he obstinately resisted his captors, verbally abused them when they beat him, and maintained an unbroken spirit while assisting fellow prisoners. Maddon died as a result of ill-treatment in November 1951. He was posthumously awarded the George Cross in 1956; this was the highest decoration awarded to an Australian during the Korean War.
