probably not. fun idea though

A meeting with Enrico Fermi
“There are two ways of doing calculations in theoretical physics”, he said. “One way, and this is the way I prefer, is to have a clear physical picture of the process that you are calculating. The other way is to have a precise and self-consistent mathematical formalism. You have neither.”

The Roaring Game
The physics and background of curling. Some fascinating bits in there. I thought it was just about pushing a stone across some ice.
Condition of rovers left on the moon
Pretty damn hard to make things that last
Except the batteries on that rover are long dead. Many, if not all, of the plastic and paper insulators exposed to vacuum are now brittle and broken. All labels or painted surfaces are likely bleached white. Differential expansion during lunar daylight cycles has likely snapped a few things here and there too. Fifty years of exposure to static electric charges on the moon has put lunar dust in all sorts of places it doesn't belong.

Why are there no stars in most space images?
tldr: exposure time is too short, so the stars are very faint
Here’s What a Googol-to-One Gear Ratio Looks Like
The limits of high speed rail
A walk through how fast different types of train can go, and why. Great balance of history and physics, detailed but without too much assumed knowledge.
