Subject: [TN] NTC Friday Element Quiz - the Question

Hi folks - Here is the Friday Element Quiz Answer. There will be no quiz 
next week due to the IPC APEX Conference:

The Question
This element was first "isolated" in 1828 but largely ignored until the 
early twentieth century. It saw use in the 1930s in fluorescent light 
bulbs but its use stopped in that application when it was discovered that 
5% of people exposed to the element powder developed a sometimes fatal 
allergic reaction. This element has significant use in X-ray equipment.

Bonus question: The largest forging of this element (in the 1960s) was 
made for a space application. Provide the specific spacecraft name (not 
the space program name.


The quiz winner will put Clumpy and Kloumpios to work on a task of their 
choosing.
