Is this an American thing? Because every house here :australia: has a bunch of teaspoons.

No, in America flatware sets come with 5 items. A teaspoon, a tablespoon, a table knife, salad fork, and regular fork.
We do call the knife the butter knife (because they don't usually have large teeth in their serrations like, say, a steak knife)
And do call that flatware the silverwere.
IME, at least.

the woman astronaut was 100% there because they realized they only had men in it at first so they scrambled to find a woman previously denied by nasa on the grounds of being a woman, like they made very sure people knew she had been denied and how cool and good they were that they included her

i mean good on her for almost getting into space finally but still... PR.

I hadn't actually seen a picture of the tower until now, it looks like it was slapped together out of I-beams.

Fun Fact: the people that work the general every-day jobs out at the cape (well until Bezos and Musk came along, anyway...) are all very much union peeps and some of my first exposure to union actions growing up was the machinists' union representing the people who (among other things) repair and maintain the launch pads going on strike.

Of course all that union nonsense is just a silly waste of time that can now finally be swept out of the way thanks to privatization of space, thank god

If it's been a while since the exposure there's not really any lead left in your blood so you can't really do a normal blood test. There's a much more expensive and fancy test using x-rays that detect it in your bones instead but it's probably not worth it and I doubt a doctor would be okay with the whole "expose yourself to radiation without a particularly good reason" thing anyway. So the answer is probably "don't worry about it" unless you're actually having chronic lead poisoning symptoms.

This explains a lot about me cursing at a lot of yank recipes. A UK tablespoon is three times that size.
