They used to have a lot of cool plans to make your own science experiments.

One was making a hydrofoil boat using board and marine plywood.

There was another about how to make magnesium powered card that would “recharge” just by swapping out plates of metal.

Pity. It was a fun magazine way back in the day, just as Popular Mechanics was.

I remember it well. Read every issue as a kid and got interested in a lot of things because of it.

Grew up reading Popular Science and a similar magazine (I think it wa popular mechanics) when I stayed with my grandfather during summer visits.

Found a treasure trove stack of every old issue he ever received hidden up in the attic.

Spent wonderful, long hours pouring through them.

Dear Old Dad built rocket guidance systems at GE in the 50s and wanted me to be an engineer like him (he succeeded). He gave me a subscription to Popular Science around 1960 when I was nine years old. I absolutely LOVED the magazine and kept my subscription going for probably ten years. All the old issues were at Mom & Dad’s place and they must have sold them at a garage sale when they were downsizing around 1990.

I remember spending break time at the University going through the library stacks and looking at old magazines. I was thrilled to find Popular Science mags going back to around 1900. It was so cool to read about what was high-tech 70 years before my university time.

I miss radio shack.

And thanks to the fascist surveillance state, I also miss rotary phones.

Does that mean the flying car PS promised me back in the 50’s won’t be delivered?

There was precious little science left in it. Which was why it was no longer popular.
