Not until 1959 did Phoenix, a man-made oasis in the red, rubble-strewn desert, get its first honest-to-goodness art museum, with a collection valued at $2.6 million...
...demolished upon impact. The tardy retrorocket firing that probably made the difference between success and failure, Barringer decided, could have been caused by an altimeter error of as little as 30 ft. - which some scientists believe is the approximate depth of a layer of porous rock or partially compacted dust that covers the moon. Barringer's conclusion: Russian radar penetrated the moon's top layer, reflected back from the bedrock below and reported an incorrect altitude...
...Barringer is also conducting laboratory experiments for NASA to study the possibility of designing a radar system that would measure the thickness of the moon's surface layer from an orbiting vehicle. He has bounced radar pulses off simulated lunar crusts made of porous lava and compressed lava dust, and found that both are highly radar transparent...
...Ford Motor Co. announced last month that it will spend $1,000,000 to scrub liquid wastes flowing into the Rouge River from its Dearborn steel plant. Four major steel firms recently agreed to spend $50 million over seven years to eliminate the 160 tons a year of red dust they now spew over every square mile of Chicago...
