...young architect in I.M.Pei's firm has since November been working full time dreaming up design ideas for the neighborhood (one far-out possibility: enclosing a mile of elevated line inside a high-rise commercial complex, burying the heavily traveled truck route that runs under it, and turning the ground level into a pedestrian mall...
...high criteria require that there be less than one chance in 10,000 that a single living microorganism be aboard an unmanned spacecraft designed to land on a planet. To comply, the U.S. plans to seal its Mars-bound Voyager landing capsule in a canister and bake it for as long as 53 hours at a temperature of 257 °F.-enough heat exposure to kill even the organisms within the solid metal structures of the spacecraft. Aware that sterilization of some early Ranger moonships damaged spacecraft systems and led to the failure of missions, scientists are spending time...
Problems arising from the design of heat-resistant spacecraft systems have already contributed to the postponement from 1969 to 1971 of a U.S. mission to eject a sterilized Martian landing capsule from a flyby vehicle. They have also forced cutbacks on equipment to be carried aboard the Voyager capsule scheduled to land on Mars in 1973. And they have certainly increased the possibility that heat-weakened Voyager components may fail in flight...
...other steps introduce hand movements which accommodate an increasing number of lines. An "S" - shape is considered the ultimate design for a hand movement because it is simple and holds to a minimum the time the hand hides the print...
