...Beam. As for Lyndon, well, he just could not help politicking. The A.F.L.-C.I.O. General Board met in Washington, agreed unanimously to support the Johnson-Humphrey ticket, trooped over to the White House 166 strong to tell the President about their unsurprising decision...
...Scram" & Sonar. The Atomic Energy Commission's Atomsville is the highlight of New York's still-aborning museum. Parents are not allowed inside Atomsville, but through television they can watch children simulate bending a beam of electrons, handle "radio active" material with mechanical hands, and run a mock reactor that will shut off when it reaches the "scram" level -just as it does at Oak Ridge...
...restless reach for the moon, including the simple experiment of a Princeton student who, 35 years before Ranger VII, took lunar pictures by rigging a movie camera to a telescope. Our moon chronicle continued to note many milestones: the U.S. Army Signal Corps in 1946, bouncing a radar beam off the moon; the early, unsuccessful lunar probe by the Air Force in 1958; the largely successful Pioneer probe of the same year; the Russian Lunik launchings in 1959, which suggested that the Soviets were beating the U.S. into space...
...them sharp-edged pits blasted by the explosive effect of high-velocity meteors, some of them soft-edged secondary craters dug by low-speed debris from bigger impacts. The very last shot was taken when Ranger was about 1,000 ft. above the surface, and before impact the scanning beam had time to transmit only a part of it-an area 60 ft. by 100 ft. There, sharp and clear, were tiny craters no more than 3 ft. across. Careful study, said Dr. Kuiper, would almost surely show objects half...
