...dismissive of the American offer but did not reject it outright. Said he: "Since the reply was received literally on the eve of this congress, the United States apparently expects our attitude to the U.S. stand to be known to the world from this rostrum . . . It is hard to detect any serious proposals on the part of the U.S. Administration to get down to resolving the cardinal problem of eliminating the nuclear threat." Gorbachev went on to hint that fixing a date for his next summit meeting with Reagan would depend on progress at the U.S.-Soviet nuclear arms talks...
Finally, there were the billions of signals sent between the doomed shuttle and NASA computers at Cape Canaveral's Launch Control and in Houston's Mission Control before and during the 73 seconds of its flight. The shuttle contained an extraordinary array of monitoring devices (sensors to detect pressures, temperatures, fuel flow, and so on), which reported their findings thousands of times a second. This flow of information, or telemetry, was so constant and so enormous that a lot of it was not sent either to the shuttle cockpit or to the consoles at Launch and Mission controls. Instead...
...ethics of essentially jailing a million people who have committed no crime, nor does he mention the Herculean task of testing the entire population for the antibody and forcefully containing those who test positively in certain areas. In addition, the only widespread test for the AIDS virus does not detect the virus itself, but antibodies to it. This test produces many false positives, which means that thousands of people who don't have the virus will test positively. Is Wise ready to take responsibility for uprooting these people from their homes and families and isolating them in "centers"? Does...
...quasars, black holes and globular clusters, but for a while during the days that the five international probes encounter the comet, all of Columbia's eyes will be on Halley's. One of the Astro-1 telescopes will peer at very short wavelength light to see if it can detect such elements as helium, neon and argon, which would reveal something about what temperatures were like at the time the solar system formed. If neon were detected, for example, scientists would have to lower their estimates of the temperature at which comets coalesce. A second telescope will measure the polarization...
