Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Ross Perot ran for President in 1996 as a member of what political party?"

[Answer] Which company is credited with coining the term “pager”?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which company is credited with coining the term “pager”?"

[Answer] Which novel was inspired by the sinking of the Essex in 1820?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which novel was inspired by the sinking of the Essex in 1820?"



...The 1820 sinking of the whaleship Essex, after it was rammed by a massive sperm whale in the Pacific Ocean, became one of history’s most famous maritime disasters. Survivors endured a harrowing ordeal at sea, including starvation and extreme conditions at sea. The event later inspired Herman Melville, who drew from the real-life event when writing Moby-Dick in 1851. While Melville expanded the tale into a philosophical and symbolic narrative centered on Captain Ahab’s obsessive quest, the core idea of a whale attacking a ship traces directly back to the tragic voyage of the Essex.

[Answer] Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon. Who was the last?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon. Who was the last?"



...Captain Eugene Cernan holds the unique distinction of being the last human to leave his footprints on the moon. Cernan’s achievement gives Purdue University the rare distinction of being the alma mater of both the first person to walk on the Moon, Neil Armstrong, and the last. The final words Cernan spoke on the Moon in December 1972 represented everything the Apollo missions stood for. “We leave as we came and, God willing, as we shall return, with peace, and hope for all mankind.” Cernan traced his only child's initials in the lunar dust before climbing the ladder of the lunar module the final time. Eugene Cernan died on Jan. 16, 2017 in Texas.
