...What will be done," asked scientists of Aerojet-General Corp., "with the body of a man who dies on a space voyage?" Answering their own question, they pointed out that "there will be no 'ground' in which to bury the man. The coldest scientific efficiency would be to place the corpse in the spaceship's 'digester' system. However, the digester system will be one that receives all of the astronauts' waste materials and regenerates them as food and water. So disposing of the cadaver in this way would simply be too revolting because...
...coldest of the titans of his time, but he will perhaps have left the warmest legacy. "Architecture," he once said, "goes beyond utilitarian needs. You employ stone, wood and concrete, and with these materials you build houses and palaces. That is construction. Ingenuity is at work. But suddenly you touch my heart.

Inside the low, insulated buildings the twelve-man crew was comfortable enough, warmed by the waste heat from the main diesel generator. "But at this temperature," explained Base Chief Vasily Sidorov, "diesel fuel becomes a sticky mass, antifreeze crystallizes and metals get brittle.

But rocket soundings have shown that 50 miles above the pole, the air is warmer in winter ( - 38° C.) than in summer ( - 100° C.). In fact, the pole's winter air at this altitude is warmer than that over New Mexico in midsummer (75° C.). Last week Dr. Will Kellogg of Rand Corp. told a Los Angeles meeting of the American Geophysical Union that this paradoxical warmth comes from the recombination of broken oxygen molecules...
