Description:
European scientists are turning an aircraft into a laboratory that simulates lunar gravity to prepare astronauts and technology for future moon landings as part of the NASA-led Artemis missions. <br/><br/>The moon is a strange little world. Only about 1.2% the mass of Earth, our planet's companion exerts a much weaker gravitational force on objects on its surface than the parent planet. As a result, an astronaut on the moon's surface feels as if he or she only weighs one sixth of their earthly weight. The same goes for all equipment the astronauts would use. It may sound like no big deal but this feeble gravitational pull creates all sorts of unforeseen problems that are difficult to prepare for in research labs on Earth. There is, however, one way to experience lunar gravity while still in the confines of Earth and explore these challenges before going to the moon: in a parabolic flight.<br/><br/>Credit: Space.com | footage courtesy: European Space Agency/Novespace/NASA<br/>A Future Studios Production

Now the Mark Cuban-backed startup is aiming to swipe up to 10%.<br/><br/>Since starting Dude Products in 2011, Sean Riley, Ryan Meegan and a third cofounder, Jeff Klimkowski, childhood friends from the Chicago suburbs, have closely studied the trail left behind by “Big Toilet Paper” leaders like Kimberly Clark and Procter & Gamble – everything from the design of their newest rolls to their latest ad campaigns – and have done the exact opposite. <br/><br/>One of the most successful businesses in Shark Tank history, Dude Products rolled up $110 million in revenue last year, from $70 million in 2022. The company, which has been profitable since 2016, now makes up 1% of the $11 billion toilet paper industry. The founders predict Dude will do $500 million in annual sales within five years and ultimately grow into a $1 billion (sales) brand. <br/><br/>0:00 Who Are The Dudes?<br/>00:19 Meeting the Need for Something Different <br/>02:50 Characteristics of a Winning Team<br/>03:37 Scared Money Don’t Make Money<br/>04:29 Guerilla Marketing At Its Finest <br/>06:46 The Dudes’ First Major Deal <br/>07:22 The Shark Tank Effect <br/>09:28 The Great Toilet Shortage of 2020<br/>11:00 Flushing Out the Competition <br/><br/>Read the full story on Forbes: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jemimamcevoy/2024/05/17/this-shark-tank-winner-has-a-1-billion-plan-to-replace-toilet-paper/?sh=1b23fac62c17<br/><br/>Subscribe to FORBES: https://www.youtube.com/user/Forbes?sub_confirmation=1<br/><br/>Fuel your success with Forbes.
