Sandia's earth-probe projectiles have been proposed to investigate the suitability of remote sites along Colombia's Atrato River for the location of dams. Eventually, in addition to a role in mineral exploration, the projectiles may be used to find water, to place deep-sea anchors, and to bury radioactive fuels re-entering the atmosphere after the flights of nuclear rockets. Shot from unmanned spacecraft orbiting distant planets, one Sandia scientist proposes, the projectile probes could even help determine if there are water tables beneath the surface of Mars and Venus...
Senior Editor George Daniels (deep-sea fishing), Writer Charles Parmiter (hunting), Reporter Mark Goodman (football) and Researcher Geraldine Kirshenbaum (sky diving) make no claim to expertise in sailing-but they were just as concerned as Painter Lundgren, because they have readers who raise the devil when they make a mistake. To help bring the language through, they turned to the glossary and diagram that appear with the cover story, as well as to their skill at translating the expertise...
