Hitchhiking
Hitchhiking (also known as thumbing, autostop or hitching) is a means of transportation that is gained by asking individuals, usually strangers, for a ride in their car or other vehicle. The ride is usually, but not always, free. Nomads have also used hitchhiking as a primary mode of travel for the better part of the last century, and continue to do so today. Signaling methods Hitchhikers use a variety of signals to indicate they need a ride. Indicators can be physical gestures or displays including written signs. The physical gestures, e.g., hand signals, hitchhikers use differ around the world: *In some African countries, the hitchhiker's hand is held with the palm facing upwards. *In most of Europe , North America and Australia, most hitchhikers stand with their back facing the direction of travel. The hitchhiker typically extends their arm towards the road with the thumb of the closed hand pointing upward or in the direction of vehicle travel. In 1971, during the Vie ...

Hitchhiker Program
The Hitchhiker Program (HH) was a NASA program established in 1984 and administered by the Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) and the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC). The program was designed to allow low-cost and quick reactive experiments to be placed on board the Space Shuttle. The program was discontinued after the Space Shuttle ''Columbia'' disaster of STS-107. Program history NASA's Hitchhiker project began in early 1984. It was created to accommodate small attached payloads in the Space Shuttle payload bay. Hitchhikers were intended for customers whose space activity requires power, data or command services. The first Hitchhiker launched on STS-61-C on January 12, 1986. Called HHG-1, it was mounted to the side of the payload bay and carried three experiments.

The Hitch-Hiker (short Story)
"The Hitch-Hiker" is a short story by Roald Dahl that was originally published in July 1977 issue of the '' Atlantic Monthly'', and later included in Dahl's short story collection ''The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six More''.

It was adapted as the 13th episode of '' Tales of the Unexpected''. Plot summary The narrator is driving to London in his new BMW 1975 car when he picks up a hitchhiker.

The Hitch-Hiker (radio Play)
''The Hitch-Hiker'' is a radio play written by Lucille Fletcher. It was first presented on the November 17, 1941, broadcast of ''The Orson Welles Show'' on CBS Radio, featuring a score written and conducted by Bernard Herrmann, Fletcher's first husband. Welles performed ''The Hitch-Hiker'' four times on radio, and the play was adapted for a notable 1960 episode of the television series ''The Twilight Zone''. In the story, a man on a cross country drive repeatedly notices the same hitch-hiker standing along the side of the road. Though the hitch-hiker's appearance is non-threatening, the driver becomes increasingly disturbed upon inexplicably seeing him again and again alongside multiple roads across several states. Eventually, the driver becomes too afraid to stop his car and even attempts to run the man down in hysterical paranoia. After making a phone call home, however, he's shocked to learn information that totally changes his understanding of his predicament. Plot Ronald A ...

Hitch Hike (dance)
Hitch hike was a dance craze of the 1960s. It started with the 1962 Marvin Gaye hit "Hitch Hike (song), Hitch Hike" and refueled with the gold disc of Vanity Fare, "Hitchin' a Ride (Vanity Fare song), Hitchin' a Ride" (1969). The dance is extremely simple and is based on the hitchhiking gesture: waving the stuck-out thumb. The classical Motown pattern is three times right thumb to the right over the shoulder, clap hands, three times left thumb to the left over the shoulder, clap hands. All this is accompanied by the shimmy body ripples popular at these times. Since these times the dance move firmly established itself in various line dance, line, club and jazz dances, especially disco, and may be seen in films such as ''Hairspray (2007 film), Hairspray''.
