Woops! There it goes again. The first division, the American balloon tire, no gear, bikes just left. My stomach feels tight, but I'm calm. I'll limber...
...almost missed the balloon landing, but the rest of the show was exciting enough to make up for it. For the second year in a row, the Lowell House Opera Group, once a strictly small-time organization, has produced a show which for size and talent equals anything the college has to offer. Perhaps it had its rough spots, but you can't score 100 percent all the time...
...Balloon Tanks. The vehicle, Rosen told the National Capital Astronomers, will be a three-stage rocket 72 ft. long and 45 in. in maximum diameter. It will have no fins, but will depend for steering on its movable rocket motor and an array of small gas-jets. The tanks holding the propellants (liquid oxygen and gasoline for the first stage, nitric acid and dimethyl-hydrazine for the second) will be thin-walled to save weight, and will have little strength when empty. When they are full and highly pressurized with helium, they will become as rigid as auto tires...
...show snatches of Braque, Picasso or any particular influence. His figures are monumental and organic reminiscent but not quite like the billowing sculpture of Henry Moore. All the figures have calves that look like Captain Kidd's peg, which is slightly disconcerting at times especially coming forth from balloon-like limbs. But in this as in other exaggerations he is striving for rhythm. The roundness of the figures, their repeated curved gestures and the arrangement of objects reinforce the swinging effect. Even the paint, or rather melted wax (encaustic) helps to quicken movement applied as it often is in windy...
...sheltering atmosphere. At last week's symposium, Major David G. Simons of the Air Force's Space Biology Laboratory, reported that recent experiments have been somewhat reassuring. For five years Holloman Air Force Base, N. Mex. has been sending mice, guinea pigs and monkeys on 24-hour balloon flights. Enclosed in pressurized and air-conditioned capsules, the animals rise as high as 100,000 ft. Two of the monkeys have had 63 hours of flying time above 90,000 ft., where primary rays are rampant...
